Hi, folks.
I'm having a problem building a statically linked perl (yes,
I know, but I
need it for XS debugging). MakeMaker is trying to link the
static binary
with libapreq.a, which is okay, but libapreq.a doesn't
export a bootstrap
symbol boot_libapreq(). The perlmain.c generated by by
Makefile.aperl
contains a call to the boot_libapreq() function.
I assume this is because libapreq.a is found in the
5.6.0/auto directory.
A quick check shows this is the only .a file in that
directory. libapreq
appears to be related to Apache and/or mod_perl (APache
REQuest).
I can build the static perl successfully if I manually
delete the call in
perlmain.c to boot_libapreq(). However, it's inconvenient
and clearly
bogus to have to do this every time.
Any ideas?
