Error while compiling apache APR make file not found

Question

I tried to compile apache APR. The instruction sayed:

All you should have to do is this:

 ./configure
  make
  make install

After ./compile I get the following output:

configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating include/apr.h
config.status: creating build/apr_rules.mk
config.status: creating build/pkg/pkginfo
config.status: creating apr-1-config
config.status: creating apr.pc
config.status: creating test/Makefile
config.status: creating test/internal/Makefile
config.status: creating include/arch/unix/apr_private.h
config.status: executing libtool commands
rm: cannot remove `libtoolT': No such file or directory
config.status: executing default commands
config.status: include/apr.h is unchanged
config.status: include/arch/unix/apr_private.h is unchanged

When I try to do "make" the make file could not be found:

-bash: make: command not found

What is wrong here?

Answer 1

Edit your configure file

Change the line

$RM "$cfgfile"

to

$RM -f "$cfgfile"

This will resolve the error

rm: cannot remove `libtoolT': No such file or directory

Then try run configure. That's it

Answer 2

Just running:

touch libtoolT

is sufficient to get it to build correctly. If you really want to edit the configure file to avoid the delete you can do that, but giving it a file to remove works too.

Answer 3

On apr-1.5.1 ,edit line 30145 of configure from

i.e bash# vi +30145 configure

$RM "$cfgfile"

to

$RM -f "$cfgfile"
