Hello,
I built APR 1.6.3 and APR-util 1.6.1 and noticed dependencies to files located
in APR's repository.
buildconf: l.61
# Remove some files, then copy them from apr source tree
rm -f build/apr_common.m4 build/find_apr.m4 build/install.sh \
build/config.guess build/config.sub build/get-version.sh
cp -p $apr_src_dir/build/apr_common.m4 $apr_src_dir/build/find_apr.m4 \
$apr_src_dir/build/install.sh $apr_src_dir/build/config.guess \
$apr_src_dir/build/config.sub $apr_src_dir/build/get-version.sh \
build/
buildconf: l.90
echo "Generating 'make' outputs ..."
$apr_src_dir/build/gen-build.py $verbose make
Why are these files not directly included in apr-utils's repository if they are
necessary for the build ?
In my opinion, if apr-utils depends on apr, I should firstly build apr as
follow:
./buildconf
./configure --prefix=/usr
make && make install
Since apr's libraries and headers are installed in standard pathes, I should be
able to
build apr-util directly without having to specify the location of the sources
of apr.
./buildconf --with-apr=/usr
./configure --prefix=/usr
make && make install
My real use case is the packaging of apr and apr-util with conan
(http://docs.conan.io/en/latest/)
You can find here below the recipes (note: the one for apr-util does not work
because of what I mentioned above)
conan recipe for APR:

env_build.make(args=['install'])

What do you think about making the build of APR util more independent ?
