I've been following the various changes with Apache 2.4.x (and 2.3.x during development regarding the removal of apr/apr-util and pcre from the Apache source bundle and noted that: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/install.html
says nothing about PCRE as a requirement, but the default configure options look for pcre and blow up if it can't find it. I see in Makefile.win that srclib\pcre will be processed for the Windows build but there's no facility to handle that outside of the Windows builds. I take it there's no alternative to building PCRE as an external dependency? I have to build and bundle Apache on enough platforms that don't have pcre available by default that I was hoping there would be some way to just extract the source into the old srclib location had have it handle the build for me like I can with apr/apr-util. Thanks, Andy
