The source for Apache is written in ANSI-C, so an ANSI-C compiler
is required. However, Apache does not use or require ANSI-only
functions or options (eg: the "%n" parameter in the scanf()
! family); the source basically uses ANSI funtion prototyping.
! Thus, an ANSI-to-K&R filter _may_ work, although as far as I
! know it has not yet been tried. If you attempt this, let the
! Apache team know (mailto: new-httpd@hyperreal.com).

The '|*-*-hubble' was added to the switch statement for HP-UX.

+ Another fix may involve editing the GuessOS helper script. Let's
+ say, for example, that your system is SysV4-based, but that
+ GuessOS does not return that info. You could then add a switch
+ to the script that does something like:
+
+ *WeirdSystem*)
+ echo "${MACHINE}-whatever-sysv4"; exit 0
+ ;;
+
+ In this case, we force GuessOS to return a string that includes
+ the "sysv4" cookie for Configure to recognize.
Unfortunately, unless you are running a very generic BSD or SysV
system, no "supported" OS will be close enough in all aspects to
