I am trying to create a tar ball with Apache, Tomcat and my application to be deployed later on a server with the same kernel as the building machine.
When building Apache HTTP server, there is an option "-prefix" passed to "configure" script that indicates where will the result of the build end up. Does it gets hardcoded into the code? Can I move later the build server to another directory and just adjust configuration files? For example, if I build with -prefix=/myproject/build/http, would it be possible later on to move the location of the HTTP server to another directory? (E.g. /opt/http) In other words, do I need to distribute HTTP source code and build it when I install my application, or can I build it ahead of time and just configure it at installation time? Thank you. -Jorge
