Hello,
I'm trying to get running Apache, mod_perl and embperl, but no success. It
seems like a problem of building a shared mod_perl module on AIX and
exporting apache symbols as well, to enable to build shared emb-perl module.
My steps so far:
gcc 2.95.2. Built myself and installed.
perl 5.6.0. Built myself with configuration command
sh Configure -Dcc=gcc -Doptimize='-O2' -Uuselargefiles -Duserperlio \
-Uusesfio -Dcccdlflags='none' -des
Also, applied patch which enables perl to use emulation layer for AIX native
dlopen. I'm grateful to Jens-Uwe Mager, who provided the patch.
apache 1.3.19. Pached apache/src/os/unix/os.c and os.h so that AIX versions
over 4.3.3 isn't detected to enable apache to use emulation for AIX dlopen.
Also suggested by Jens-Uwe Mager.
After that I tried to configure mod_perl with following command
perl Makefile.PL DO_HTTPD=1 USE_APACI=1 USE_DSO=1 EVERYTHING=1 DYNAMIC=1 \
APACI_ARGS="--enable-rule=SHARED_CORE --with-layout=GNU --enable-shared=max"
make failed. I had to modify apache/src/modules/perl/Makefile to remove
-Xlinker flags and also to define APACHELIBEXEC=/usr/local/lib. Also in
PERLLDDFLAGS there were
-bE:$(BASEEXT).exp flag. However, the BASEXT wasn't assigned a value and
compile failed. I changed the flag to -bE:$(BASEEXT)libperl.exp. Is that
correct ?
After this make succeeded with tons of warnings (Warning: Duplicate symbol
PL_* and Warning: Exported symbol not defined PL_*). make test failed with
message:
Target "all" is up to date.

There are no messages in test error log file.
Does anyone have some experience regarding the building (dynamic ?) mod_perl
on AIX ?
If I build the (static ?) mod_perl with configuration command
perl Makefile.PL EVERYTHING=1 DO_HTTPD=1 USE_APACI=1 \
APACI_ARGS="--enable-module=most --enable-shared=max \
--disable-shared=perl --disable-shared=include"
the mod_perl and apache compile and test fine, but compiling embperl files
with message
