mod_perl installation and non-standard perl path in FreeBSD
Hoping there might be another FreeBSD user here who may have been
through this already...
For reasons I don't want to trouble you with, I had to install the
latest perl freebsd port into /usr/local/rt3/perl/ and now I need to
get mod_perl to compile against that version.
I edited the freebsd port Makefile and added
MOD_PERLCONFIG=/usr/local/rt3/perl/bin/perl to CONFIGURE_ARGS and I
edited the shebang line in /usr/local/bin/apxs to point to my new
installation of perl.
Then, I tried using this cli in the mod_perl port directory.
bash-2.05b# PERL5LIB=/usr/local/rt3/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.2/i386-freebsd
PREFIX=/usr/local/rt3/perl SITE_PERL=/usr/local/rt3/perl/lib/site_perl make
While pieces of the compile output show that it is using
/usr/local/rt3/perl/*, most of it shows that it's pulling from
/usr/local/lib/perl5/* for libs.
I even combed through the work directory and manually changed the
references to the perl binary to /usr/local/rt3/perl/bin/perl with no
luck. Same results every time. And yes, I've been doing a make clean
in between compiles.
I have also editied the /etc/make.conf file so that the perl options are:
# grep PERL /etc/make.conf | grep '^[^#]'
PERL_VER=5.8.2
PERL_VERSION=5.8.2
SITE_PERL=/usr/local/rt3/perl/lib/site_perl/${PERL_VER}
PERL_ARCH=mach
PERL5=/usr/local/rt3/perl/bin/perl
PERL=/usr/local/rt3/perl/bin/perl
NOPERL=yo
NO_PERL=yo
NO_PERL_WRAPPER=yo
However, it doesn't even try to build the port now...
# make
Dependency error: you don't have the right version of perl in /usr/bin.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/www/mod_perl.
I monkeyed with port's Makefile and added the variables there as well.
# grep PERL Makefile | grep '^[^#]'
MASTER_SITES= ${MASTER_SITE_PERL_CPAN}
${SITE_PERL}/LWP.pm:${PORTSDIR}/www/p5-libwww
PERL_VER=5.8.2
PERL_VERSION=5.8.2
SITE_PERL=/usr/local/rt3/perl/lib/site_perl/${PERL_VER}
PERL= /usr/local/rt3/perl/bin/perl
PERL5= /usr/local/rt3/perl/bin/perl
FULLPERL= /usr/local/rt3/perl/bin/perl
PERL_CONFIGURE= yes
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=USE_APXS=1 EVERYTHING=1 INSTALLSITELIB=${SITE_PERL} \
MOD_PERLCONFIG=/usr/local/rt3/perl/bin/perl \
INSTALLSITEARCH=${SITE_PERL}/${PERL_ARCH} \
PERL_EXTRA_CFLAGS='-DDEFAULT_PATH="/usr/local/rt3/perl/bin"
-DAPPLLIB_EXP="/usr/local/rt3/perl/lib/perl5/5.8.2/BSDPAN"
-DMOD_PERL_PREFIX="/usr/local/rt3/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.2/i386-freebsd"
-DDEFAULT_PATH="/usr/local/rt3/perl/bin"'
I'd think that things like MOD_PERL_PREFIX would help, but it's not
happening.
I can't alter the perl binary in /usr/bin/perl, so how can I force
mod_perl to compile using the perl binary in my non-standard perl
path?
Any advice?

Since I'm not using a standard dir anyway, it doesn't look like it's going to be possible or worth any further effort. Anyway, one more question related to this. When building via apaci, it says to use APACHE_PREFIX. What exactly is it looking for? FreeBSD doesn't install apache in a traditional spot all under one directory, such as /usr/local/apache. It seems reasonable that it is looking for the directory where libperl.so is going to live (/usr/local/libexec/apache under FreeBSD). Is this a good assumption? -- Andy Harrison Great Works Internet System Operations (full headers for details) -- Andy Harrison Great Works Internet System Operations (full headers for details) -- Report problems: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html List etiquette: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/email-etiquette.html

I guess not. http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/install.html#APACHE_PREFIX "mp1's APACHE_PREFIX" == "apache 1.3's --prefix=" If it doesn't apply under FreeBSD, don't use it. Instead use APACI_ARGS with an appropriate --libexecdir= flag. Please send me a patch to make this clear in the docs.

Re: mod_perl installation and non-standard perl path in FreeBSD
Hi Andy, I use Apache/mod_perl under FreeBSD. I compile with Apachetoolbox[1] which is super easy. Here are the custom settings I use: --suexec-caller=www \ --suexec-docroot=/web \ --disable-rule=EXPAT \ # if using mod_ssl --enable-rule=EAPI Otherwise, I let toolbox do the work. Check the docs but I'm pretty sure that the APACHE_PREFIX path is where apache will be installed.
