OSDIR?

[David Reid <ab...@dial.pipex.com>]

Hi,

The apr library is being built with each system (Unix, OS2, etc) in a
seperate directory.  The OSDIR variable in the configuration normally points
to something like 'os/unix'.  In the apr the directory doesn't have the 'os'
tree, just the various systems.  To make life easier is it worth
rationalising this now?

I'd gues either add the 'os' tree to apr or remove it from the OSDIR and add
as appropriate in the makefiles?

I know it's low priority but I'm trying to think of the future!

I'm ignoring the Makefiles, because they will be changed completely by the
time we are done.  Ken Coar, and somebody else on the Apache team are
currently learning autoconf.  When they finish learning it, they will
generate our ./configure scripts for all platforms, and all of our
Makefiles for the first time.  I don't want to put a lot of energy into
the Makefiles if they are just going to be re-written.

I would suggest hack the Makefile so it compiles everything into a
library, and ignore it.
