Hi, The current Apache-Test cvs, as well as looking for an Apache binary, will also search for apxs, which doesn't come with Apache-2 on Win32. Within the mod_perl 2 distribution Makefile.PL will offer to run a script on Win32 to fetch and install an apxs - might it be an idea to do the same for Apache-Test, or perhaps within the perl-framework Makefile.PL?
But that works only for mp2. How does A-T knows whether a user wants mp2 and not mp1? I think if they have mp2, they have had a chance to get apxs2 alredy, no?
That's true about a user already getting the chance to get a development apxs with mp2 - I was wondering though about doing the same for Apache2 within the perl-framework (the apxs that is offered with mp2 will work outside of mp2, as it just requires Apache2 - for example, it builds and runs the c-modules tests under httpd-test/perl-framework/). So here we would just have to check for Apache2.
Yes, yes, what I was saying is that how the interactive config should know whether it's Apache 1 or Apache 2 that the user is after? or did you want to suggest it after user has specified the value for httpd and then if you figure out that it's for Apache2 and there is no apxs, you'd suggest to install it? I think that sounds like a working solution.
