[Fwd: Re: FW: library versioning name]

[catching up with the apr-dev list]

According to that thread, the libapr file is changing its versioning 
approach, moving towards libapr-$version.so, meaning that -lapr might 
not work anymore.

So at some point we might need to change xs/APR/APR/Makefile.PL, to use
APR_LIBS="`apr-config --link-ld`" instead of hardcoded -lapr as Greg 
suggests in the attached email.

You should never use -lapr (for, say, the past six months). The corect form
is:

APR_LIBS="`apr-config --link-ld`"

or maybe

APR_LA_LIBS="`apr-config --link-libtool`"


If you want the includes, then:

APR_INCLUDES="`apr-config --includes`"
