(I posted some of this message [and a hopeful but incorrect solution] yesterday to the mod_perl list. Sorry for the cross-posting to all the lists, but these two seem the most appropriate.)
I've been trying to compile libapreq 1.1 (Apache::Request) on Mac OS 10.2.4 for a couple of days, but I'm having no luck. I've been following the directions in the INSTALL.MacOSX file and following along with David Wheeler's article "Installing libapreq on Jaguar: An Update" (http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2003/02/07/libapreq_update.html), but nothing seems to be working for me. Specifically, when I run "make test" for libapreq, I get the following: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/src/libapreq-1.1]# make test t/httpd -f `pwd`/t/httpd.conf dyld: t/httpd Undefined symbols: _ap_null_cleanup _ap_pcalloc _ap_register_cleanup _ap_table_add _ap_table_get _ap_table_set _ap_table_unset _hvrv2table _mod_perl_tie_table _perl_request_rec _sv2request_rec _ap_day_snames _ap_month_snames _ap_null_cleanup make: *** [start_httpd] Trace/BPT trap To get to this point, let me recount what I did. I received a brand-new Powerbook two days ago. I prompty wiped the hard drive and reinstalled OS X (so I wouldn't have OS 9), installed the Developer Tools, installed Fink, and then used Fink to install lots of GNU goodies. I wiped out "/Library/Perl" and installed Perl 5.8.0 from source. I then built Apache 1.3.27/mod_perl 1.27 like so: perl Makefile.PL \ APACHE_SRC=../apache_1.3.27/src/ \ DO_HTTPD=1 \ USE_APACI=1 \ EVERYTHING=1 \ APACI_ARGS='--enable-module=proxy, --enable-module=rewrite' \ APACHE_PREFIX=/usr/local/apache Then I tried building libapreq following the directions for OS X: cd libapreq-1.1 sh BUILD.sh ./configure --with-apache-includes=/usr/local/apache/include make sudo make install One problem with following the above directions lies in the contents of BUILD.sh: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/src/libapreq-1.1]# cat BUILD.sh #!/bin/sh # BUILD.sh - preconfigure libapreq (for distribution) libtoolize --automake -c -f aclocal autoconf automake -a -c The only "libtoolize" on my system is the one in "/sw/bin" put there by Fink, which, I assume, goes along with the "glibtool" in the same directory. But the "libtool" that's in my $PATH is in "/usr/bin" put there by Apple. While I believe the Apple libtool is actually the GNU project's libtool, these are definitely different binaries. If I run BUILD.sh after freshly unpacking the source for libapreq, I get the following error: libtool: ltconfig version `' does not match ltmain.sh version `1.3.5' Again, I think this is because of the differences between the libtool binaries. If I wipe out the source directory, unpack the original tarball, skip running BUILD.sh, and go right to the "./configure ..." step, I can get through the configuration and first "make" step. But then I get the above "undefined symbols" error stated above. If I try to use the libtool* binaries in "/sw/bin" to do all the building, then I get a different error: libtool: unrecognized option `-arch_only' Because Apple's libtool accepts this option, but, alas, Fink's libtool does not. I've completely exhausted myself trying to get this to work. I'm primarily a mod_perl developer, and I really want to be able to do all my development on this machine running OS X. I'm willing to reinstall the OS, Perl, not reinstall Fink, etc., but I can't really see being able to stay with the Perl 5.6.0 from Apple. I'd love some guidance as I'm sick of Googling and poking and tweaking. I'll take just about any advice at this point! ky
