Some trouble compiling mod_jk (solved, actually)

["David Tonhofer, m-plify S.A." <d....@m-plify.com>]

Hi,

I have managed to compile the "mod_jk" shared object that comes
with jakarta-tomcat-5.5.7-src.tar.gz. That could have been
easier!

Here's a problem I encountered on Red Hat ES 4, just wanted
to share.

If anyone thinks this belongs into bugzilla, I will gladly
add it.

Running "ant native" yields a libtool error that stops the
build process in compile and link mode:

libtool: compile: unable to infer tagged configuration
libtool: compile: specify a tag with `--tag'

libtool: link: unable to infer tagged configuration
libtool: link: specify a tag with `--tag'

...which is not nice. Apparently the 'tag' can be set to
anything -- I haven't found out what it actually is for from
the libtool documentation (!!) This is libtool-1.5.6-4

The workaround:

Edit

jakarta-tomcat-connectors/jk/jkant/java/org/apache/jk/ant/compilers/LibtoolCompiler.java
jakarta-tomcat-connectors/jk/jkant/java/org/apache/jk/ant/compilers/LibtoolLink.java

and add

        cmd.createArgument().setValue("--tag=something");

after the existing.

        cmd.createArgument().setValue("--mode=compile");

There might be a way to give the "So" Task an appropriate argument, too.
But I think not.

On to the next problem.
