I am trying to create a tar ball with Apache, Tomcat and my
application to be deployed later on a server with the same kernel as the
building machine. When building Apache HTTP server, there is an option “—prefix”
passed to “configure” script that indicates where will the result
of the build end up. Does it gets hardcoded into the code? Can I move later the build
server to another directory and just adjust configuration files? For example, if I build with –prefix=/myproject/build/http,
would it be possible later on to move the location of the HTTP server to another
directory? (E.g. /opt/http) In other words, do I need to distribute HTTP source code and
build it when I install my application, or can I build it ahead of time and
just configure it at installation time? Thank you. -Jorge |
