The Apache Portable Runtime (APR) is a supporting library for the Apache web server. It provides a set of application programming interfaces (APIs) that map to the underlying Operating System (OS). Where the OS doesn't support a particular function, APR will provide an emulation. Thus programmers can use the APR to make a program portable across different platforms.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-11.2 platform.

First, fix a security issue:
sed -e "/shift/i \ \ if (xt->tm_mon < 0 || xt->tm_mon >= 12) return APR_EBADDATE;" \ -i time/unix/time.c
Install Apr by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr \ --disable-static \ --with-installbuilddir=/usr/share/apr-1/build && make
To test the results, issue: make test.
Now, as the root
user:
make install
--disable-static
: This
switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.
