serf 0.3.0 : build error

$ sudo port install serf
--->  Building serf

So I install apr0 : sudo port install apr0

No problem for installing apr0.

Then I retry to install serf-0.3.0

I don't know if the bug is in apr itself... (apr-config ?)

I mark this ticket as priority "High" because a lot of ports depends on it (git-core +svn in my case).

Why are you installing apr-0? It doesn't depend upon that version, it depend upon apr which is 1.x.

It looks like it's picking up the APR 0.x install and not the APR 1.x install. Look at the path it's looking for:

    /opt/local/share/apr-0/build/libtool

Try replacing this line in serf's Portfile with

    configure.args  --with-apr=${prefix} --with-apr-util=${prefix}

with

    configure.args  --with-apr=${prefix}/bin/apr-1-config --with-apr-util=${prefix}/bin/apu-1-config

If that works, I'll update the Portfile.

I've updated /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/www/serf/Portfile with your fix, and the port install worked. Thanks !

Great, the change is committed in r53911.
