Building Apache from source needs APR and we can simply copy the apr and apr-util source within httpd/srclib directory and use --with-included-apr directive. Another option would be to install apr and apr-util as a separate package and pass their installation path to --with-apr directive.
Please let me know if there are any performance impacts and/or dependencies that may be affected in either case. Which one is more preferable and why? Presently I am with a bare server without apache or APR either.
