apache suffers from some problem with autoconf 2.60 related to expansion of path variables passed in layout file.
config_vars.mk made by configure generated by autoconf 2.59 contains (ac-amd64, so with lib64): bindir = /usr/bin sbindir = /usr/sbin cgidir = ${prefix}/lib/cgi-bin/apache logfiledir = /var/log/httpd exec_prefix = /usr datadir = /home/services/httpd localstatedir = /var mandir = /usr/share/man libdir = /usr/lib64 libexecdir = /usr/lib64/apache htdocsdir = ${datadir}/html manualdir = ${datadir}/manual includedir = /usr/include/apache errordir = ${datadir}/error iconsdir = ${datadir}/icons sysconfdir = /etc/httpd installbuilddir = ${libexecdir}/build runtimedir = /var/run proxycachedir = /var/cache/httpd other_targets = suexec progname = httpd.prefork prefix = /usr and made by configure generated by autoconf 2.60: bindir = ${exec_prefix}/bin sbindir = ${exec_prefix}/sbin cgidir = ${prefix}/lib/cgi-bin/apache logfiledir = /var/log/httpd exec_prefix = ${prefix} datadir = /home/services/httpd localstatedir = /var/lib/httpd mandir = /usr/share/man libdir = ${exec_prefix}/lib libexecdir = ${libdir}/apache htdocsdir = ${datadir}/html manualdir = ${datadir}/manual includedir = ${prefix}/include/apache errordir = ${datadir}/error iconsdir = ${datadir}/icons sysconfdir = /etc/httpd installbuilddir = ${libexecdir}/build runtimedir = /var/run proxycachedir = /var/cache/httpd other_targets = suexec progname = httpd.prefork prefix = /usr In the second case apxs have some problems when querying for paths: $ /usr/sbin/apxs -q libdir Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/sbin/apxs line 237. /usr/lib $ /usr/sbin/apxs -q libexecdir Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/sbin/apxs line 237. Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/sbin/apxs line 237. (the answer is the third line, i.e. empty string; it breaks build of e.g. libapreq2 or subversion) Also, with autoconf 2.60 libdir (and thus libexecdir) is expanded using only PLD layout file, i.e. using libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib, so on x86_64 apache installs in /usr/lib/apache and package doesn't even build. With autoconf 2.59 libdir setting from PLD layout is ignored. What to do? IMO the simplest way to resolve it is to use absolute paths in all variables in PLD layout and use sed to change /lib into /{_lib} at %prep stage.
