No, I'm building on Linux. The thing that seems to have broken the linux gears is related to a patch that turns "so" into "dll" for cygwin but at the same time conflicts with linux' use of the LIBEXT macro which establishes a dependency on libperl.a. Your second attempt then removed the conflict but at the same time removed the dependency on the libperl.a completely. So then I had a libperl.a rule that was never invoked because the dependency was gone. My last patch "fixes" that for linux but makes no sense to you:-( >> I can make it work with this one line change but I don't know how >> much of your expectations are undermined by it: >> >> --- apaci/Makefile.tmpl~ 2007-12-25 05:28:23.448665692 +0100 >> +++ apaci/Makefile.tmpl 2007-12-25 05:28:36.567058818 +0100 >> @@ -37,7 +37,7 @@ >> ## >> >> # the library to build >> -MP_LIB=libperl.$(MP_LIBEXT) >> +MP_LIB=libperl.$(LIBEXT) >> >> # the objects to use >> MP_OBJS=\ >> >> >> Makes any sense? > Not much sense, no... > In your case, what does MP_LIBEXT end up being ? >From what I can see in the code it can only be "so" but I wonder why I do not see it expanded in any file. In my apache directory I grep recursively: # grep -r MP_LIBEXT . ./src/modules/perl/Makefile.tmpl:libperl.$(MP_LIBEXT): $(MP_OBJS_PIC) ./src/modules/perl/Makefile.tmpl: $(APXS) -i -a -n perl libperl.$(MP_LIBEXT) ./src/modules/perl/configure:echo "MP_LIBEXT=$my_soext" >>$my_makefileconf ./src/modules/perl/Makefile:libperl.$(MP_LIBEXT): $(MP_OBJS_PIC) ./src/modules/perl/Makefile: $(APXS) -i -a -n perl libperl.$(MP_LIBEXT) I get the impression that src/modules/perl/configure is not being run for whatever reason. Let me know if I can try further things out. -- andreas
