Stephan,

I did. It's a bit of a hack. Understatement, let me try again. It's a huge hack.

Some parts of buildroot are still pretty opaque to me and unfortunately I don't really have to the time to figure out how to make a proper patch.

I also had trouble with the patch command not recursing sub-directories. The diff file appeared to have the proper paths, but I'm obviously missing something.

Anyway, what I have works, but it clearly needs cleaning up before adding to buildroot and I just don't have the time to do it.

If anyone cares to try, I've included the makefile, Config, and startup script, plus the original patch/diff file and the break-out files that are called out in apache.mk.

Hopefully someone else with a little more expertise with buildroot and patch can clean these up for everyone else's benefit.

grace & peace,
Lee Jenkins

# luckily, I found a patch that allows apache to be built using an additional
# variable CC_FOR_BUILD that fixes this problem. the patch was downloaded from
#      http://people.apache.org/~fuankg/diffs/httpd-2.2.x-cross_compile.diff
# strangely, the patch utility on my build machine would not apply patches
# to files in sub-directories. therefore I've divided the patch diff into
# parts for each directory and applied the patches separately.
# also, I tried using the patch hooks, but it appears that X_PRE_PATCH_HOOKS
# is only executing if X_PATCH is defined -- and X_PATCH requires the patch
# to be located at X_SITE and this patch is not located at the same site
# as the apache package. ugh. so the files get patched as the first step in
# the configure process below.
