Re: Workaround (maybe) for getting Apache::Test 1.13 tested on a stock OpenBSD system

2004-09-25 Thread Geoffrey Young

 When I unpack the tarball by hand, set
 APACHE_TEST_HTTPD=/usr/sbin/httpdu, and run perl Makefile.PL; make;
 make test, everything passes.  This is true whether or not I am
 executing the commands as root.
 
 
 How can we programmatically figure out when to add the -u flag? If we
 can't then we can add APACHE_TEST_HTTPD_OPTIONS env var, which you can
 set to -u.

we already have APACHE_TEST_EXTRA_ARGS which will do this :)

rats... sorry, APACHE_TEST_EXTRA_ARGS is for A-T, not invoking httpd.  eesh :)

while it doesn't solve problems for anyone running A-T for the first time
(such as when installing via CPAN), +1 to supporting this option as well,
just in case people find it useful.

time to shutdown the computer for the weekend...
