The error in the subject has been showing up on the Mac OS X
buildslaves for the past few days (see
http://ci.apache.org/builders/svn-x64-macosx-gnu-shared/builds/1388/steps/Build/logs/stdio),
but nobody has done much about it.
However, this afternoon I ran autogen.sh and configure on my own trunk
working copy (also on Mac OS X), and I now see the same problem. I
don't know where my Apache is coming from, but APR is coming from
MacPorts, which I suspect is a fairly common set up for people on Mac
OS. The error I see is "Apache's APR version 1.3.8 doesn't match
configure's 1.4.5". I've been running this configuration for many
months without any problem.
I know there has been some work in this area lately, and I'd be
tempted to start reverting stuff under the "if a dev can't build,
that's a problem" guideline, but I think we can probably fix this by
moving forward, not backward. One possible solution is to just not
build mod_dav_svn, rather than torpedoing the entire build, if
Apache's APR doesn't match configure's. In any case, I think the
current situation is not viable long term.
