APR provides APIs that map to the OS. Tomcat Native is able to provide the performance increases due to apr bypassing Java’s virtualized layer. So no, tomcat-native can not be built without that dependency. > Can I build tomcat native on Rocky Linux?

As long as the required dependencies are provided to the building process, everything should work flawlessly. However, for the libraries produced in one system to work with another system depends on factors such as the other system having equal various library versions like glibc or OpenSSL, equal cpu architecture etc. > Darryl Baker, GSEC, GCLD (he/him/his) > Sr. System Administrator > Distributed Application Platform Services > Northwestern University > 4th Floor > 2020 Ridge Avenue > Evanston, IL 60208-0801 > darryl.ba...@northwestern.edu <mailto:darryl.ba...@northwestern.edu> > (847) 467-6674 <tel:+18474676674> > > > > > On 2/6/25, 4:26 AM, "Dimitris Soumis" <dsou...@apache.org <mailto: > dsou...@apache.org>> wrote: > > > On Wed, Feb 5, 2025 at 7:58 PM Darryl Baker <darryl.ba...@northwestern.edu > <mailto:darryl.ba...@northwestern.edu>> > wrote: > > > > I could if there was one.
