I downloaded the latest version httpd-2.4.1 from http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi. check the configure options by: #./configure -h you can find the entry: "--with-included-apr Use bundled copies of APR/APR-Util", but when you enter #./configure --with-included-apr Output: configure: error: Bundled APR requested but not found at ./srclib/. Download and unpack the corresponding apr and apr-util packages to ./srclib/. The problem is: Unlike httpd-2.2.x, 2.4.1 does not have "apr" and "apr-util" in the "srclib" directory.
That's intended behaviour, ponly the use of the word "bundled" should be improved. The idea is: - do *not* bundle apr and apr-util - allow a combined build with httpd if users add the apr and apr-util sources themselves into the srclib dir Keeping the issue open until we found a better help message string ...
r1389060 can be part of the answer. "Bundled" is still there but IMO, this is clear enough. Maybe just a note clearly stating that APR in not provided with htttp source code and must be downloaded separately could be useful.
