Building the trunk
Dear dev,
Graham asked me to test out a new feature of the form auth module. So,
I checked out the trunk, and got into a bit of a tangle.
I checked out http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/apr/apr/trunk into
srclib/apr, and then I ran buildconf, and then I tried to run
configure. It tells me:
configure:
configure: Configuring Apache Portable Runtime Utility library...
configure:
configure: error: APR-util not found. Please read the documentation.
Now, the apr-util trunk just contains a pointer to the apr trunk. I
did poke around httpd.apache.org thinking that I might find some
contributor advice that would cover this case, but apparently I was
too dense to detect it. Could someone help?

buildconf has some unhelpful messages amidst the logic to support
either apr1+aprutil1 or aprtrunk. I guess you found some with
configure too, though this doesn't seem too specific to apr trunk:
./configure --with-included-apr
...
configure: error: Bundled APR requested but not found at ./srclib/.
Download and unpack the corresponding apr and apr-util packages to
./srclib/.
FWLIW, here's a way to build which can share apr/apr-util with other
applications (e.g., httpd 2.2 or 2.4):
./buildconf --with-apr=../apr-1.4.x --with-apr-util=../apr-util-1.4.x
./configure --with-apr=/path/to/aprinst --with-apr-util=/path/to/aprutilinst ...

Well, configure told me to get the apr trunk :-) and configure no
longer has --with-apr-util to locate it.

Just as with httpd 2.4.x, use apr 1.x and apr-util 1.x with httpd trunk.
Heck, its even easier if the changes are limited to mod_auth_form.c:
Download mod_auth_form.c from trunk (or check out httpd trunk).
/path/to/24-install/bin/apxs -c mod_auth_form.c.

apr trunk includes APR-util, and I guess that certain httpd builds are
not prepared for that.

Hopefully r1389060 gets rid of the bad hints and provides
basically-correct instructions regarding APR/APR-util in INSTALL which
others can massage as appropriate.

Just to tie this off: the fun here began with a message from buildconf:
You don't have a copy of the apr source in srclib/apr.
Please get the source using the following instructions,
or specify the location of the source with
--with-apr=[path to apr] :
svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/apr/apr/trunk srclib/apr
So, if srclib is no longer a good idea, I suppose that buildconf needs
a slight improvement. Anyway, mission accomplished.

I am not sure the apr-inside-srclib works any more.
In theory, build apr-trunk and make install it to a directory with --prefix, then point httpd at at by saying ./buildconf --with-apr=/path/to/apr-trunk
Apr-uti-trunk was combined with apr-trunk a while back.

Graham
