Hmmm... I'm linking against what's exported by APR_VARS, but yesterday on
Solaris 8/SPARC the whole thinghie built and ran correctly... Just a FYI,
will try to rebuild with APR fresh off CVS later tonight...

Nope Roy, it was my fault. When I was linking with APXS for Apache 1.3, I
simply forgot to link against the EXTRA_LIBS found in APRVARS... My bad :(

As I've mentioned maybe a dozen times over the past six months, apxs does
not work in 2.0.  It needs to be taught how to use config_vars.mk or,
at the very least, all of its current symbols need to be replaced with
those used by the 2.0 makefiles.

I should have just committed an exit to the code to force people to fix it
or delete apxs.  I didn't fix it myself because I've never used it and there
are a dozen pieces of functionality within it that I would rather delete
than update to 2.0.

The key here is Solaris 8 7/01 - this is a brand new version.  I'll try
and get a hold of it soon - BTW, if anyone can get me an EA copy of 
Solaris 9, I'd be grateful (someone told me it is or will be entering EA
soon).  I bet you don't have the required libraries to enable this - it 
is a series of special patches to the stock Solaris 8.  Solaris 8 7/01 
is the first to have it bundled in.  

Is mod_webapp calling apr_sendfile?  If so, then that is probably why
you are getting the error.

But, my EXTRA_LIBS is saying (I'll probably commit the fix to remove the
duplicates in a few minutes - I'm ticked off about that):

EXTRA_LIBS="-lsendfile -lm -lsocket -lnsl -lsocket -lnsl -ldl"

Oh, apxs doesn't know about this file.  Yuck.  I think that apache-1.3
needs to link against the library - not mod_webapp.so.  If you had the
static library version of sendfile, you could tell mod_webapp to
include it and it'd be okay, but the patches I have for Solaris 8 
don't include a static library.  Furthermore, Solaris defaults to 
shared libraries when faced with both shared and static libraries.  
So, the EXTRA_LIBS definition with mod_webapp isn't very helpful.
The Apache 1.3 Makefile needs to know about it.  -- justin
