Description Rodney Beede 2014-03-12 17:39:06 UTC 
sbindir as per the "configure - Configure the source tree" document states that "By default sbindir is set to EPREFIX/sbin."

However doing a fresh download and compile of httpd-2.4.7 with:

"./configure --with-included-apr"

"make"

"make install"

This results in a /usr/local/apache2 folder without any "sbin" sub-directory.  All the binaries are simply lumped into the "bin" directory.


This appears to be due to config.layout having the following:
<Layout Apache>
    prefix:        /usr/local/apache2
    exec_prefix:   ${prefix}
    bindir:        ${exec_prefix}/bin
    sbindir:       ${exec_prefix}/bin


It is expected to see:
    sbindir:       ${exec_prefix}/sbin



If this is the new default then the documentation should be updated.  If this is a mistake then the config.layout should be updated.
