Hide Forgot
Description of problem: Trying to create a test module for working with the instructions say to use apxs -g -n <Fill in module here> The problem is that the Makefile created looks for a makefile that doesnt get included (special.mk) This means that nothing can be created and the tutorial can't go much further. Trying to include the rules.mk instead just causes a no-op to happen when make occurs.
Thanks for the report. This will be fixed in httpd-2.0.45-10 in Raw Hide.
special.mk exists in the httpd build directory but is not packaged into httpd-devel. By the way, there is another trouble in config_vars.mk : /usr/include/httpd isn't included. It seems that using the following patch on httpd.spec seems to solve thoses two bugs. Could this be (checked then) included in next RHL9 releases of httpd ? It's very annoying to recompile the whole package for each release (as I already have the same kind of trouble with the RHL8 httpd RPMs).

Yes, I'll put the fix in for future 8.0/9 errata too, that's why I left this bug open.
`apxs -q LIBTOOL` is also worth fixing.
