Hello everyone,
I would like to try and update an apache module (mod_tile for serving
map tiles [1]) on Ptolemy, which still operates on Solaris. After fixing
a bunch of standard portability issues with the source code, I have run
into a problem that I am not sure about.
With the standard compile options, the build fails with:
Undefined first referenced
symbol in file
__stack_chk_fail_local ./.libs/dir_utils.o (symbol scope
specifies local binding)
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to
./.libs/mod_tile.so
The suggested fix for this issue seems to be to add -fno-stack-protector
to the CFLAGS. After figuring out how to pass that to the apache build
system it does now seem to compile fine. (if one tries to do that during
the ./configure stage, ./configure fails by complaining that the
C-compiler can't produce an executable. Possibly because ./configure
uses the sun compiler rather than gcc which doesn't support
-fno-stack-protector?)
However, the apache build system (apxs) claims that apache on ptolemy
was built with stack protection. Does it matter if a module is built
without stack protection while apache is? Is there a way to test out if
the built module works correctly with the installed apache? Is there a
better way to fix this compile issue?
Currently I just compiled it from source in the project home directory.
Would it have to be "ported" to ts-spec to install it on ptolemy?
Thanks,
Kai
