Building Apache and mod_perl by Hand
If you wish to process the httpd build separately from the mod_perl, you
should use NO_HTTPD=1 option during the perl Makefile.PL stage, then
configure various things by hand and proceed with building process. You
shouldn't run perl Makefile before following the steps described in this
section.
These are the configurations you should make before the build stage, if you
choose to manually build mod_perl:
mod_perl's Makefile
When perl Makefile.PL is executed, $APACHE_SRC/modules/perl/Makefile
will be modified to enable various options (e.g. ALL_HOOKS=1). Instead of
tweaking the options during the the perl Makefile.PL, you may also edit
mod_perl-x.xx/src/modules/perl/Makefile before running perl Makefile.PL.
This is an optional step.
Configuration
Add to apache_x.x.x/src/Configuration :
AddModule modules/perl/libperl.a
We suggest you add this entry at the end of the Configuration file
if you want your callback hooks to have precedence over core handlers.
Add the following to EXTRA_LIBS:
EXTRA_LIBS=`perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ldopts`
Add the following to EXTRA_CFLAGS:
EXTRA_CFLAGS=`perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ccopts`
mod_perl source files
Return to the mod_perl directory and copy the mod_perl source files
into the apache build directory:
% cp -r src/modules/perl apache_x.x.x/src/modules/
% cp -r src/modules/perl ../apache_x.x.x/src/modules/
When you have done with the configuration parts, run:
% perl Makefile.PL NO_HTTPD=1 DYNAMIC=1 EVERYTHING=1\
APACHE_SRC=../apache_x.x.x/src
DYNAMIC
