Setting CPPFLAGS Doesn't Help

[Amiri Barksdale <am...@gmail.com>]

Hi folks:

I am building apache2 with mod_perl2, statically. I run perl 5.8.8.

When I run


perl Makefile.PL MP_USE_STATIC=1 MP_AP_PREFIX=../httpd-2.2.9  
MP_AP_CONFIGURE="--with-mpm=prefork --enable-rewrite --enable-deflate  
--enable-ssl --enable-expires --prefix=/usr/local/apache2"


mod_perl runs through its thing correctly. But running make produces  
the following errors:


/usr/local/src/mod_perl-2.0.4/../httpd-2.2.9/include/httpd.h:955:  
error: storage size of `finfo' isn't known
/usr/local/src/mod_perl-2.0.4/../httpd-2.2.9/include/httpd.h:957:  
error: storage size of `parsed_uri' isn't known
/usr/local/src/mod_perl-2.0.4/../httpd-2.2.9/include/httpd.h:1134:  
error: storage size of `pfd' isn't known
{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:616: Warning: size of "user" is already 4; not  
changing to 8
make[1]: *** [mod_perl.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/mod_perl-2.0.4/src/modules/ 
perl'
make: *** [modperl_lib] Error 2


I get this for both 2.2.8 and 2.2.9. Now, I have read about the  
standard fix for this issue: setting the proper flags. That worked  
once before for me, as a matter of fact. I compiled a static apache2/ 
mod_perl build once before successfully, following that exact  
procedure. What I do is go into the httpd-2.2.8 or 2.2.9 directory and  
run the following:


make clean
export CPPFLAGS="-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64"
./configure


Then I go back into the mod_perl dir, run make realclean, and try  
again. Still the same error.

I have tried setting the CFLAGS, CCFLAGS, and CPPFLAGS, by looking at  
perl -V. I always make clean in the httpd dir, make realclean in the  
mod_perl dir, and run the exact same perl Makefile.PL command line,  
and I always get the same error. Can anyone tell me how to proceed?
