building with external APR

[Jani Monoses <ja...@iv.ro>]

Hi
I have come across some building issues and I don't know whether they
are result of omissions or something else.
I tried to build svn with apr and apr-util 0.9.2 preinstalled i.e
without copying them in the src
1)apr by default installs in /usr/local/apr
2)apr-util by default does not search there for it and needs a
--with-apr option .I think this is an oversight in the apr-utils 
configure and implicitely in the find-apr script which is used to generate
parts of it.
3)subversions find-apr and find-apu m4 scripts do the same thing:look in
a list of dirs which does not
include the default namely /usr /usr/local /usr/local/apache2 but not
/usr/local/apr .They look like they were originally taken from apr-util

Jani.

No, it's a conscious decision.  If the --with-apr option is not specified, it 
will look for a bundled source directory first, then look in the 'normal' 
directories for a pre-installed copy.

This is to prevent problems with people compiling new versions of httpd/SVN 
with newer bundled apr/apr-util than what they have installed.  If we didn't 
give precedent to the bundled versions, we'd use the pre-installed versions 
which isn't what people want.  If you deleted the bundled directory in your 
SVN or whatnot, it'd force the use of the installed copy or fail.  -- justin
