apache 1.37 + mod_perl + libapreq

[David Scott <da...@netzentry.com>]

Guys,

I'm trying to build a bundled version of Apache 1 + mod_perl but am 
having a hell of a time building the Apache::Request and Apache::Cookie 
modules.

I've built the shared object version of libapreq and that works fine 
(I've got my Apache 1.37 in a special source file and libapreq finds it 
fine).  The problem is that when I come to build the Perl wrapper later, 
it tries to re-build the C library.  This is bad, because there is no 
way to pass in the location of the Apache header files during the Perl 
build process, so the whole thing fails.

According to the docs, if I have libapreq.so and the Perl build can find 
it, it will use that library rather than re-building it.  So I say

perl Makefile LIBS='-L/path/to/my/libapreq -lapreq'

When building the Perl module.  Seems to me it should find libapreq.  
But it wants to build the C library anyway.  What am I doing wrong???

Thanks in advance.

David

Hi David,

I'm not sure why you want to build the libapreq library separately from
the Perl module(s). My understanding of libapreq is that the library is
part of the Perl module installation.

Anyhow I use following build order since years without any issues.

1. Perl
2. Perl modules which are not related to apache/mod_perl
3. Extract apache source
4. Make mod_perl and other apache modules
5. Make apache
6. Make Apache::Test
7. Make libapreq
8. Make Perl modules which are related to apache/mod_perl like
Apache::DBI, Apache::Session ...

I'm using apache 1.3.34, mod_perl 1.29 and libapreq 1.3.

I guess, the build process of libapreq does recompile the libapreq
library each time you build the Perl module.

Cheers
Sven.

What docs ?

I assume you mean
-L/usr/local/X
ls -l X/*
  libapreq.so

Personally, never tried, but if you point me at the docs your following, I'm willing to try it.
