AIX 4.3.2 IBM Visual Age C Compiler >Description: In trying to generate a 64 bit version of Apache with DSO support, it was found that the original "do it yourself" code [in os-aix-dso.c] does not work with a 64 bit build of Apache. To work around this, I had to either fix the supplied code, or get Apache to use real AIX dlopen... etc. I chose the latter. The fix ented up being quite simple really. See below. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: In src/os/unix/os.h /* * Do not use native AIX DSO support (Only for AIX 4.1 and below) */ #if AIX <= 41 #undef HAVE_DLFCN_H #endif In src/os/unix/os.c /* * Insert the DSO emulation code for AIX (Only for AIX 4.1 and below) */ #if AIX <= 41 #include "os-aix-dso.c" #endif And the most important bit: In src/support/httpd.exp: Change the first line of httpd.exp from: #! to: #! . And bingo, you have have a 64 bit, native DSO support enabled version of Apache. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, you need] [to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line and make sure the] [subject line starts with the report component and number, with ] [or without any 'Re:' prefixes (such as "general/1098:" or ] ["Re: general/1098:").
