Thanks and JF is a great specialist of autoconf >At the moment the compilation of jk2 is controlled by >4-5 'defines', easy to include in a build.properties >( which is used by both Ant-based and Makefile-based >builds ).

If it doesn't >fit your needs, I'm ok with an autoconf. makefile.apxs allready works on native2 for apache 2.0 and apache 1.3 and configure just detect if APR should be used for apache 1.3. >Also, for building jni you can use the Makefile in jni/, >it requires an apache2 binary to be installed ( or built ) >before - to get the libapr.so and includes.

Hum, why didn't they include ant-contrib in ant cvs ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
