Righto, I had just said this:
./configure --with-apr=/usr/local/apr/bin/apr-1-config --with-apr-util=/usr/local/apr/bin/apu-1-config
Since Apache (2.0.52-28.ent.centos4) was installed on the system,
it looks as though the SVN_FIND_APACHE macro successfully
found "apxs" and used it. Digging a bit, it appears that a way to do
what I'm suggesting would be simply to *omit* the following code:
in "build/ac-macros/svn-apache.m4" lines 77-88,
it searches for "apxs" and "apxs2" if no --with-apache nor --with-apxs
configure option was given explicitly:
if test -z "$BINNAME" && test -z "$APXS"; then
for i in /usr/sbin /usr/local/apache/bin /usr/local/apache2/bin /usr/bin ; do
if test -f "$i/apxs2"; then
APXS="$i/apxs2"
break
fi
if test -f "$i/apxs"; then
APXS="$i/apxs"
break
fi
done
fi
(Of course, if you configure subversion on a system without apache
installed, it won't find apxs, and will silently just not use it.
Probably this is the case for most people installing this software.)
