First problem was how to generate ./configure from SVN sources. Obvious
autoreconf or autoconf did not work because of some missing macros. Then
I found ./buildconf.

But it still failed because of missing APR sources despite I had installed
APR 1.5.4 including header files and M4 macros from my distribution package=
s.
Then I found in the documentation that building from SVN requires APR sourc=
es.
So I cloned APR sources. Then I was able to build httpd.

I wanted to run test, but there are no tests you complained about a failure.
After searching web, I got an idea that httpd-framework is what I need.

I made sure I have installed all Perl modules I found relevant, but I was
unable to run the tests against SVN httpd sources. I played with
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, apxs etc. but without any good result. At the end
I reconfigured httpd sources and installed the binaries into a /tmp
subdirectory and that allowed me to run the tests. It's quite annoying to h=
ave
to install httpd into the system just only to test it.

But still the tests failed because of an undefined symbol in a session test
module. The symbol was defined in the httpd session module but the session
module was not named by the LoadModule keyword in the generated
t/conf/httpd.conf. I did not found a way how to disable the session tests
other than removing c-modules/test_session/mod_test_session.c file.

Finally I obtained a pass.

I think the inability to build httpd against system APR and to run test
against not yet installed httpd is quite surprising.
