Re: Building tomcat-native on RHEL 8

I could if there was one. Red Hat stopped having Tomcat in the OS distribution 
and is now part of the JBoss product the University decided not to buy.

[root@XXX] tomcat-native-2.0.8-src]# yum search tomcat-native
Updating Subscription Management repositories.
No matches found.

Do you need to build from source, or can you use the RHEL binary?


$ sudo yum search tomcat-native
= Name Exactly Matched: tomcat-native =
tomcat-native.x86_64 : Tomcat native library


If you truly need to build, we can probably update the documentation to 
indicate which popular packages would be necessary before building from 
source.

Trying to build 1.3.1 I did the fit manipulations as suggested (I know very 
little about git) and I get

The latest available APR devel package on RHEL 8 is version 1.6.3. (i.e

If you attempt to build *tomcat-native 2.0.8*, you will encounter the
following error:


configure: error: Found APR 1.6.3. You need version 1.7.0 or newer

However, *tomcat-native 1.3.1* is compatible with APR 1.6.3 and should be
built without issues.


For tomcat-native 2.0.8, since the APR version provided by the distribution
is obsolete, your only option would be to build a static version of APR
1.7.0 or later to meet the requirement.


There is no tomcat-native package available for RHEL 8.
Kind regards,
Dimitris
