>Description:

here`s the call I made to configure my httpd...
note I included an module via "--add-module=FILE" called "mod_bandwidth_1.2.c". It comes from "ftp://ftp.cohprog.com/pub/apache/module/mod_bandwidth.c".
as u can see in the output of configure, the module wasn`t well configured, the line "Creating Makefile in src/modules/extra" is missing :(


lsd:/usr/local/src/apache_1.3b7 # ./configure
--add-module=/usr/local/src/packages/mod_4_apache/mod_bandwidth_1.2.c
--activate-module=src/modules/php3/libmodphp3.a --enable-module=auth_anon
--enable-module=auth_dbm --enable-module=digest --enable-module=expires
--enable-module=log_agent --enable-module=log_referer
--enable-module=mime_magic --enable-module=speling --enable-module=unique_id
--enable-suexec --suexec-caller=httpd --suexec-userdir=/ --suexec-uidmin=0
--suexec-gidmin=0

./configure: module_bandwidth_1.2=yes: command not found
./configure: shared_bandwidth_1.2=no: command not found
 + on-the-fly added and activated bandwidth_1.2 module
(modules/extra/mod_bandwidth_1.2.o)
 + activated modphp3 module (modules/php3/libmodphp3.a)

>How-To-Repeat:
simply try to add an third party module via "./configure ----add-module=/any/path/mod_any-mod.c"

my module was found on "ftp://ftp.cohprog.com/pub/apache/module/mod_bandwidth.c".
u may reproduce that error if a module starts with string "lib" too. I had a very quick look in the configure-skript.
>Fix:
no, I used the workaround renaming the module ;)
