[mp2] build problem mod_perl-1.99_12 and "make install DESTDIR"
If you build apache with
./configure \
--prefix=/kinnetics/component/httpd
make install DESTDIR=/tmp/apache-kinnetics-$USER
then when you try compiling mod_perl you get:
perl Makefile.PL \
MP_AP_PREFIX=/tmp/apache-kinnetics-$USER/kinnetics/component/httpd \
LIB=/tmp/apache-kinnetics-$USER/kinnetics/component/httpd/site_perl \
PREFIX=/tmp
************* WARNING *************
!!! '/tmp/apache-kinnetics-darwin/kinnetics/component/httpd/bin/apxs -q
INCLUDEDIR' failed:
!!! cannot open /kinnetics/component/httpd/build/config_vars.mk: No such
file or directory at
/tmp/apache-kinnetics-darwin/kinnetics/component/httpd/bin/apxs line 256.
Note that this works just fine under mod_perl 1.99_10-dev.

It's your problem, since you created it. apxs is configured at build time.
After you have installed httpd, if you move files around you must adjust apxs
to point to their new location. This is something that any distributor of
apache needs to worry about.
Really what you (or any other distributor) need to do is to adjust the files
under build/ (config_vars.mk and may be others), which apxs gets the info
from. And you need to adjust apxs to point to the new location as well. Since
you move everything to a new directory, it should be an easy 'perl -pi -e
's|||' build/* bin/apxs', may be a few other files as well.
If apxs is not giving us the correct information about httpd, we can't build
mod_perl.

Thanks. I won't be surprised if the answer (if you ever get one) will be -
don't do this (change the install target after the build). But may be I'm
overpessimistic.

Well, presumably it points to the directory where it gets installed.
However, I haven't installed it yet because I need to compile mod_perl.
(My runtime machine doesn't have a compiler).
If that variable is changed, then how would apxs find things after I tar
it up (not that I use it after it is in the correct location).
I'm happy to open a apache bug.

When you do that, does apxs get affected? i.e. does it get all the directories
adjusted. If not (which I suppose is the case) it's a bug in httpd build. You
should report it to httpd as:
I did:
./configure --prefix=/kinnetics/component/httpd
make install DESTDIR=/tmp/apache-kinnetics-$USER
but apxs still points to the old location:
/tmp/apache-kinnetics-darwin/kinnetics/component/httpd/bin/apxs -q
INCLUDEDIR' failed:
!!! cannot open /kinnetics/component/httpd/build/config_vars.mk: No such
file or directory at
/tmp/apache-kinnetics-darwin/kinnetics/component/httpd/bin/apxs line 256.

right, we just didn't use apxs in earlier versions (and the build couldn't
handle this situation). mod_perl relies on a working apxs. If that's broken it
needs to be fixed.

Also works under 1.99_11
BTW, my perl version is 5.8.1 and apache 2.0.48.

So this issue has not been resolved, right? I think we could handle that on
the modperl side. If MP_AP_PREFIX is passed, we should make sure that APXS is
not used, even if it has been found. How does that sound? just to test my
suggestion delete
/tmp/apache-kinnetics-darwin/kinnetics/component/httpd/bin/apxs so it won't
find it and try again.
also why don't point MP_AP_PREFIX at the apache source? why do you point it to
the destination dir? this could be your problem.
