Build difficuties for apache 2.2.6
Hello all. I am having some trouble building apache 2.2.6 on FreeBSD
6.2-PRERELEASE, and believe it's related to the bundled APR. I'm doing it
straight from source, not ports.
I've tried contacting the apache-users mailing list, both the maintainers
of the FreeBSD ports (apr and httpd), as well as at least one APR
committer. No reply, anywhere, which is frustrating because I'm willing
to help gather data to fix this issue, I just don't know what people need.
If anyone has any ideas, please let me know
Here's the story:
I just tried to build apache 2.2.6 from scratch.
I, for various reasons of wanting to keep apache separate from other
things, for example, to virtualize my apache users, prefer everything in a
single dir -- so the ports route isn't for me.
Because apr-db42 had been installed as part of a subversion requirement
(not sure why), it caused my apache build to look in nonexistent places
for libraries.
%apr-1-config --apr-libtool
/usr/local/build-1/libtool
(the above path doesn't even exist)
To fix this (and not break the svn port), I resorted to using
--with-included-apr. The build THEN failed, claiming it could not find
the installed expat libraries, in an error exactly like what this
gentleman had:
http://www.zulustips.com/2007/10/06/problems-compiling-apache-226-on-freebsd-62.html#more-54
And in fact, this apr committer had the same issue:
http://www.mail-archive.com/dev@apr.apache.org/msg18793.html
(search the page for "wtf")
Like them, I had an installed expat, and had it listed in ldconfig -r (I
also note there's a libexpat in /usr/src but don't know what it's there
for).
(I did not copy my errors because I thought I had found a solution, but
it's the same error, I assure you).
After that,
I tried resorting to building apache with --with-expat=builtin
I then got THIS error:
/home/danm/httpd-2.2.6/srclib/apr/libtool --silent --mode=link gcc -g -O2
-o htpasswd htpasswd.lo -lm

So that's it. I don't know how to fix this one -- and if it's upgrading
my libiconv will fix it (but will require me to upgrade every program --
both binary and port) that depends on it, I'm willing, but pkg_info -f -g
libiconv-1.9.2_2 reports no mismatched checksums (which implies to me that
the libraries should have the functions that the header files are there).
If you need more info, please let me know.
I had to do the upgrade-everything dance a few weeks ago because something
broke libintl -- I for a few moments blamed it that problem, but other
people, on other production systems are having these issues. I'm not
about to do it again just to get a newer libiconv when I don't think
that's the problem.
pkg_info -f -g apr-db42-1.2.7_1
[snip]
Mismatched Checksums:
pkg_info: /usr/local/build-1/apr_rules.mk doesn't exist
pkg_info: /usr/local/build-1/libtool doesn't exist
pkg_info: /usr/local/build-1/make_exports.awk doesn't exist
pkg_info: /usr/local/build-1/make_var_export.awk doesn't exist
pkg_info: /usr/local/build-1/mkdir.sh doesn't exist
If this is a bug in apache, please let me know and I'll file major bug
reports there. If on the other hand, the behavior documented by the ports
installing files that report wrong locations, ldconfig reporting libraries
that cannot be found, and the like, please let me know and I'll open (one
or several) FreeBSD bugs. It's clear from the searching I've been doing
for several hours now that I'm not the only person having these issues.
Also, my uptime is nearly a year, which makes me a little old:
Uname: FreeBSD prime.gushi.org 6.2-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 6.2-PRERELEASE
But I'm loathe to fully cvsup, buildworld, and reboot on a production
system unless we're sure it will do something (and I'm not at all sure it
will).
If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.
Thanks,
Dan Mahoney

Note:
I managed to get past the previously posted difficulties with some help
from a very helpful person who suggested I do:
setenv CFLAGS "-L/usr/local/lib -I/usr/local/include"
setenv LDFLAGS "$CFLAGS"
However, my question goes to: Why does apache try to COMPILE against
something it cannot link against. Philip M. Gollucci suggested I post
this question here:
My configure arguments were only this:
"./configure" \
"--enable-modules=most" \
"--enable-mods-shared=most" \
"--prefix=/usr/local/apache2-pierski" \
"--with-mpm=worker" \
"--with-included-apr" \
"--with-expat=builtin" \
To get the error I got (right below). What confuses me is why I get it at
COMPILE TIME, not at CONFIGURE TIME. (I.e APR should have correctly set
the CFLAGS/LDFLAGS), if it didn't bomb out because it couldn't find the
things.
Anyone who can shed some light (or who needs access to a machine for
testing) please let me know.
