I think was fixed in apr 1.7.1

You reported a problem with the flag --with-included-apr.
You're adding APR (https://apr.apache.org/download.cgi) to HTTPD
(https://dlcdn.apache.org/httpd/httpd-2.4.55.tar.bz2) before running
./configure
Try APR 1.7.1 or 1.7.2 which were released after your first email in
this thread.

[users@httpd] SOLVED, we can close bug - Re: [users@httpd] Bug autoconf

Posted by David Lopez <mi...@yahoo.com.INVALID>.

My bad, dear Eric: This bug is solved.
Details:
Now I understand you were talking about a third package, apr, which as you mentioned is a bit more recent (february 2023) and can be downloaded from https://dlcdn.apache.org//apr/
I tested it carefully: with the OLD package (before replacing the new apr) I repeated my configure command:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache-2.4.55 --with-included-apr
And I got the error I mentioned first. BUT then with the new version inside /srclib/apr, I only replaced the last one with apr 1.7.2, and repeated the above configure commandAnd this worked SMOOTHLY.
So we can close this bug now.
Excellent work. My very first time I report something here, and it was priceless.
Best regards and forgive my manners.

It seems we have to find a common ground on what we are talking about.
1. Latest Apache version is 2.4.55, whose date is 2023-01-17, and can be downloaded from
https://dlcdn.apache.org/httpd/httpd-2.4.55.tar.bz2
2. Latest version of autoconf is 2.7.1, whose date is 2021-01-28
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/?C=M;O=D
The report I made of the bug was sent AFTER both versions above, namely I sent my report in 2023-01-29. And my report is about ONLY both of this tools.

Hence, when you are talking about "version 1.7.1 or version 1.7.2", it seems you are talking about something else.
We will have a better communication if you help me (or help us both) on this: I beg you to please be far more specific in your future responses, quoting links, or further references, something solid upon which both of us can communicate smoothly, use nouns to allow people understand what you are talking about, and carry on with our common purpose, which is to contribute to the enhancement of this wonderful software called Apache Server.
Thanks for your comprehension.

1.7.1 wasn't released when you tested. Have you tested 1.7.1 or 1.7.2?
