Projects using APR

[Pieter Hintjens <ph...@imatix.com>]

Hi,

We're using APR in our OpenAMQ messaging server - www.openamq.org.
It's free software.

An incidental question: has APR been ported to OpenVMS?  I can't find
documentation on this anywhere.

Regards,

OK, this matches what I could find on the Net.  I'm talking to some
folk in HP, may be able to track down an APR port.

Thanks.

I believe there is a port of apache2 to openvms that was done by
whoever owns openvms at the moment (HP? I don't keep track anymore),
which would have required them to port APR, but I don't think the code
was ever released publicly, or if it was, it wasn't ever mentioned on
this list.

I would be incredibly surprised if APR built out of the box on VMS,
but we'd certainly welcome any patches to make it happen, as wrowe
said.

Thanks for the update!  Right now, svn is down so can't update the web
site, but ping us if this is forgotten, we would be happy to have OpenAMQ
in the list of projects using apr on the site.

AFAIK nobody explicitly has tested this.  If your OpenVMS compiler toolchain
is similar enough to a gcc toolchain, you should not have any problems in
asking ./configure to work out the details from its compile/link tests.

If not, obviously patches are always welcome!
