Support for the ARM 64 bit CPU architecture (aarch64) was introduced in autoconf 2.69. httpd appears to use an earlier version of autoconf, preventing its being built. This can be fixed in of three ways (In order of preference): 1. Work with upstream to migrate the package to autoconf 2.69. 2. Rerun autoconf or autoreconf in %prep or %build prior to running configure. 3. Apply the patch at http://ausil.fedorapeople.org/aarch64/httpd/httpd-aarch64.patch which updates config.guess and config.sub to recognize aarch64.
I tried building httpd-2.4.4-6.fc19 using autoconf-2.69-10.fc19.noarch and adding 'autoreconf -i -f', but config.sub and config.guess in the build directory do not get replaced. I do see the following warning when running autoreconf: aclocal: warning: autoconf input should be named 'configure.ac', not 'configure.in' acinclude.m4:7: warning: underquoted definition of APACHE_HELP_STRING acinclude.m4:7: run info Automake 'Extending aclocal' acinclude.m4:7: or see http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/automake.html#Extending-aclocal If I remove the old config.sub and config.guess from the build directory and run autoreconf they do not get created/copied. Option #3, applying the patch, does appear to work.
