Sadly, the apr part of the compile procedure has been removed from the documentation.# Build and install apr 1.2I'm not sure if 1.2 is supported at all by alpha. I strongly suggest to download -deps.tar.bz2 http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi#apache23 If you unpack these deps in the same directory as the httpd-2.3.8.tar.bz2, they will end up in httpd-2.3.8/src-lib/apr* Then configure with:While installing Apache as it is, i.e. using ./configure --with-included-apr, I get the following error -configuring package in xml/expat now checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu /home/sanchit/Documents/httpd-2.3.8/srclib/apr-util/xml/expat/configure: line 2417: syntax error near unexpected token `lt_decl_varnames,' /home/sanchit/Documents/httpd-2.3.8/srclib/apr-util/xml/expat/configure: line 2417: `lt_if_append_uniq(lt_decl_varnames, SHELL, , ,' configure failed for xml/expat configure failed for srclib/apr-util The line mentioned in the error is - lt_if_append_uniq(lt_decl_varnames, SHELL, , , lt_dict_add_subkey([lt_decl_dict], [SHELL], [libtool_name], [m4_ifval([], [], [SHELL])]) lt_dict_add_subkey([lt_decl_dict], [SHELL], [value], [1]) m4_ifval([Shell to use when invoking shell scripts], [lt_dict_add_subkey([lt_decl_dict], [SHELL], [description], [Shell to use when invoking shell scripts])]) lt_dict_add_subkey([lt_decl_dict], [SHELL], [tagged?], [m4_ifval([], [yes], [no])])) Please tell me how to fix this. Thanks in advnace!Do you have all the necessary tools installed, as mentioned in the installation documentation? m4, libtool, autoconf, automake Do you have all the basic dependencies installed? For expat in Ubuntu this would be libexpat1-dev, as Ubuntu doesn't install headerfiles by default. etc..
In addition to the above: there have been several libtool related fixes to the build process in the meantime. If you retry with 2.3.8, use APR 1.4.2 and APU 1.3.10. Versions 1.2 are older than what we bundle with recent 2.2 releases.
We tried to release 2.3.9 as beta, but it failed, mostly because of Windows related build failures. We expect to vote on a 2.3.10 in the not to distinct future. So if you want to experiment and can wait a bit I suggest you wait for the 2.3.10. Note that 2.3.10 will still not be a production release.
