how to compile modules

[张 臻博 <la...@hotmail.com>]

hello,

I am beginner in developing module for Apache. Here i have one question, 
seems quite simple....

I am trying to write a module by myself. However, in the process of 
debugging, every time i have to do "make" in the root 
directory-httpd-2.2.3, which really takes time. I think it could be 
possible to just do the make command in the directory where i put the 
module. Is there somebody who can provide some hint? Should i write some 
kind of Make file by myself or some other good way to do it??

Any kind of suggestion is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Frankie,
I believe Issac led you on the correct path with 'apxs'.

I don't know for sure, but you may need to be working in C (not C++) to use
apxs (I'm just one step above noob... so don't take what I say for fact).
You should ask more questions of the mailing list if you are developing with
another languae (i.e. C++ or PERL).
My typical usage of apxs is as follows: "apxs -c -i mod_***.c" (-c =
compile; -i = install into Apache).
I believe there is a way to restart your currently running Apache daemon
from axps (at the end of a compile).  You will have to search the
documentation for that one (I'm not familiar with it).

You of course, will need to activate your module in the httpd.conf (or use
the '-a' switch during apxs).

Hope this helps,
Dave
