At least in 1.7.0-beta2, if you run ./configure without the
appropriate dependencies available, you get an error message like the
below. It would be helpful if this message could be adjusted to
recommend running ./get-deps.sh
configure: Apache Portable Runtime (APR) library configuration
checking for APR... no
configure: WARNING: APR not found
The Apache Portable Runtime (APR) library cannot be found.
Please install APR on this system and supply the appropriate
--with-apr option to 'configure'
or
get it with SVN and put it in a subdirectory of this source:
svn co \
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/apr/apr/branches/1.3.x \
apr
Run that right here in the top level of the Subversion tree.
Afterwards, run apr/buildconf in that subdirectory and
then run configure again here.
Whichever of the above you do, you probably need to do
something similar for apr-util, either providing both
--with-apr and --with-apr-util to 'configure', or
getting both from SVN with:
svn co \
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/apr/apr-util/branches/1.3.x \
apr-util
configure: error: no suitable apr found
