Hi, I've been postponing to move my Linux Apache/mod_perl development to my highly appreciated iBook running Mac OS X due to all the required tweaks until now. I would imagine things have been sorted out by now so I downloaded apache 1.3.24 to give it a go.
The system I'm working on has a self-contained build-script which fetches everything from CVS, executes the right build commands etc. without me having to think. This has a built-in step to compile mod_perl statically (i.e. not DSO as i don't want that) into Apache. Now I find that out that the part that compiles Apache bails out with this: env LD_RUN_PATH=/opt/ttgp/dev/applications/perl/lib/5.6.1/darwin/CORE cc -c -I.. -I/opt/ttgp/dev/applications/perl/lib/5.6.1/darwin/CORE -I../os/unix -I../include -DDARWIN -DMOD_PERL -DUSE_PERL_SSI -pipe -fno-common -DHAS_TELLDIR_PROTOTYPE -fno-strict-aliasing -DUSE_HSREGEX -DNO_DL_NEEDED -pipe -fno-common -DHAS_TELLDIR_PROTOTYPE -fno-strict-aliasing `../apaci` alloc.c alloc.c: In function `spawn_child_core': alloc.c:2291: `STDOUT_FILENO' undeclared (first use in this function) alloc.c:2291: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once alloc.c:2291: for each function it appears in.) alloc.c:2297: `STDIN_FILENO' undeclared (first use in this function) alloc.c:2303: `STDERR_FILENO' undeclared (first use in this function) make[4]: *** [alloc.o] Error 1 make[3]: *** [subdirs] Error 1 make[2]: *** [build-std] Error 2 make[1]: *** [build] Error 2 make: *** [apaci_httpd] Error 2 I almost find this appalling. It can't find something basic as STDOUT_FILENO (which is in /usr/include/unistd.h)... So I went back to Google to find solutions and the first hit sends me to stepwise.com to a tutorial that tells me in detail what commands to type in. Great, but it forces me to use DSO which I don't want! So, what is missing in the Apache configuration part that will make this work in a sensible way? Regards, Bas. ps. I know I'm a programmer that loves to tweak but when it comes to something as basic as this I'm just a user that's looking for the "any key";)
