I am trying to build an RPM for Apache-2.4.7-1 on CentOS-6.5-i86_64. I am using mock.

The are three build dependencies that I am trying to resolve. One, mod_socache_dc / distcache, I have simply removed from the spec file. The other two are arp and apr-utils. Since httpd-2.4.7 needs arp >= 1.4 I got the two latter requirements from http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/httpd-2.4.7-deps.tar.bz2 and extracted them into rpmbuild/SOURCES/httpd-2.4.7/srclib intending to use the
–with-included-arp configuration directive per rpmbuild/SOURCES/httpd-2.4.7/INSTALL.

I also revised the spec file to remove requirements for the removed dependencies.

#BuildRequires: apr-devel >= 1.4.0, apr-util-devel >= 1.4.0
# Replaced by –with-included-apr
. . .
#Requires: apr-devel, apr-util-devel
# Replaced by –with-included-apr

and this little ‘gotcha’

# forcibly prevent use of bundled apr, apr-util, pcre
# rm -rf srclib/{apr,apr-util,pcre}

removed this from %configure:

# –with-apr=%{_prefix} –with-apr-util=%{_prefix} \

and replaced it with this:

–with-included-apr \

and removed the reference to mod_socache_dc

#%files -n mod_socache_dc
#%defattr(-,root,root)
#%{_libdir}/httpd/modules/mod_socache_dc.so

However, the build dies saying that it cannot find arp/arp-utils:

configure: Configuring Apache Portable Runtime library… configure:
configure: error: Bundled APR requested but not found at ./srclib/. Download and unpack the corresponding apr and apr-util packages to ./srclib/. RPM build errors:
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.pXoIWK (%build)
Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.pXoIWK (%build)
Child return code was: 1

Now, I added this in the Sources:

Source0: http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/httpd-%{version}.tar.bz2
Source1: http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/httpd-%{version}-deps.tar.bz2

And I have confirmed that the srclib directory contains the files for arp and arp-utils:

$ ll rpmbuild/SOURCES/httpd-2.4.7/srclib total 12
drwxr-xr-x. 27 byrnejb byrnejb 4096 Jan 3 14:11 apr drwxr-xr-x. 19 byrnejb byrnejb 4096 Nov 19 12:36 apr-util
-rw-r–r–. 1 byrnejb byrnejb 121 Feb 11 2005 Makefile.in

As this pretty much exhausts my small stock of knowledge respecting rpmbuild it is evident that I need some help with the spec file to get past this problem. The spec is provided below and I would be grateful if anyone could help me out with this. I am sure others would find the information useful as well.

Thanks.
