Fooey. Can't compile mod_perl.

[southernstar <so...@ziplip.com>]

Hi,

I can't compile mod_perl 1.27 on Cygwin with apache 1.3.24-5 src no matter what 
I do. At first it complained (make complained) that it didn't know how to make 
httpd.h etc, so I made them dummy targets with .PHONEY. OK, fine. Then it 
couldn't find them in apache_inc.h - so I put the path in for it. Now in os.h 
(from apache) it can't find ap_config.h, whatever that is.

Has mod_perl EVER compiled on Cygwin? If so, how do I get it to build? (I have 
the latest net release of cygwin, everything installed).

I really want mod_perl!!! *temper tantrum*

Thanks! :-)

James

I tried it a couple of weeks ago, and ran into some problems too. I'm 
pretty sure it was a different issue though. At the moment I'm 
reinstalling Cygwin, since I've rebuilt my development system since then.

At the moment, I've installed ActivePerl-5.6.1.631, 
apache_1.3.25-win32-x86-src.msi from apache.org, and mod_perl 1.x using 
the instructions at http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/win32_apache2.html. 
Works fine for me... except the apache service doesn't start. I haven't 
had a chance to look into that yet though.
