Package building

[Paul Armstrong <mo...@otoh.org>]

I'm trying to build packages for mod_perl on Solaris and the usual
make DESTDIR=/tmp/mod_perl install
doesn't work any more.

Apache is in /usr/local but I want mod_perl to install temporarily in
/tmp/mod_perl so I can package it before installing into /usr/local with
Apache (I'm sure several people have done this before). Any suggestions?

Using mod_perl 2.0.0-RC4, Apache 2.0.52, GNU Make (tried Solaris Make as
well, but that didn't help) on Solaris 9

Thanks,
Paul

DESTDIR= will work for perl stuff, but for the apache-related files (mod_perl.so
and header files), you are looking for

MODPERL_AP_INCLUDEDIR && MODPERL_AP_LIBEXECDIR


So something like

$> make DESTDIR=/tmp/mod_perl MODPERL_AP_INCLUDEDIR=/tmp/mod_perl/apache/include MODPERL_AP_LIBEXECDIR=/tmp/mod_perl/apache/modules

Should do what you are looking for.
