Hi all- I'm trying to build mod_perl 1.21_02 (w/ apache 1.3.12) with GD statically linked. I've tried running perl Makefile.PL PERL_STATIC_EXTS='GD' EVERYTHING=1 USE_APACI=1 APACI_ARGS='--prefix=/usr/local/bb/httpd, --enable-module=proxy' and I get: gcc -DLINUX=2 -DMOD_PERL -DUSE_PERL_SSI -Dbool=char -DHAS_BOOL -DUSE_HSREGEX -DUSE_EXPAT -I./lib/expat-lite -DNO_DL_NEEDED `./apaci` \ -o httpd buildmark.o modules.o modules/standard/libstandard.a modules/proxy/libproxy.a modules/perl/libperl.a main/libmain.a ./os/unix/libos.a ap/libap.a regex/libregex.a lib/expat-lite/libexpat.a -lm -lcrypt -rdynamic -L/usr/local/lib /usr/local/bb/perl/lib/5.00503/i686-linux/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a -L/usr/local/bb/perl/lib/5.00503/i686-linux/CORE -lperl -lnsl -lndbm -lgdbm -ldb -ldl -lm -lc -lposix -lcrypt modules/perl/libperl.a(perlxsi.o): In function `xs_init': perlxsi.o(.text+0xb4): undefined reference to `boot_GD' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[3]: *** [target_static] Error 1 The version of Perl is 5.005_03. I have built GD and statically linked it to Perl. When I run: # perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ldopts -- -std GD -rdynamic -L/usr/local/lib /usr/local/bb/perl/lib/site_perl/5.005/i686-linux/auto/GD/GD.a /usr/local/bb/perl/lib/5.00503/i686-linux/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a -L/usr/local/bb/perl/lib/5.00503/i686-linux/CORE -lperl -lnsl -lndbm -lgdbm -ldb -ldl -lm -lc -lposix -lcrypt -L/usr/lib/X11 -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/local/lib -lgd -lpng -lttf -lz -ljpeg -lm -lX11 -lXpm Running this command (this was pulled from one of Doug M. earlier posts): # perl -MExtUtiles::Embed -e xsinit -- -std GD # cat perlxsi.c EXTERN_C void xs_init _((void)); EXTERN_C void boot_GD _((CV* cv)); EXTERN_C void boot_DynaLoader _((CV* cv)); EXTERN_C void xs_init(void) { char *file = __FILE__; dXSUB_SYS; newXS("GD::bootstrap", boot_GD, file); /* DynaLoader is a special case */ newXS("DynaLoader::boot_DynaLoader", boot_DynaLoader, file); } It seems like the GD.a library can't be located by the linker for some reason. I've set my LD_LIBRARY_PATH, LD_RUN_PATH environment variables, and I've tried modifying the Makefile to include the path to the GD.a (/usr/local/bb/perl/lib/site_perl/5.005/i686-linux/auto/GD) Any suggestions? Sorry, I'm kinda new at all of this. Thanks in advance. --Tim
