I just tried to build apache 2.2.6 from scratch.
I, for various reasons of wanting to keep apache separate from other
things, for example, to virtualize my apache users, prefer everything in a
single dir -- so the ports route isn't for me.
Because apr-db42 had been installed as part of a subversion requirement
(not sure why), it caused my apache build to look in nonexistent places
for libraries.
%apr-1-config --apr-libtool
/usr/local/build-1/libtool
(the above path doesn't even exist)
To fix this (and not break the svn port), I resorted to using
--with-included-apr. The build THEN failed, claiming it could not find
the installed expat libraries, in an error exactly like what this
gentleman had:
http://www.zulustips.com/2007/10/06/problems-compiling-apache-226-on-freebsd-62.html#more-54
And in fact, this apache developer had the same issue:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg18793.html
(search the page for "wtf")
Like them, I had an installed expat, and had it listed in ldconfig -r (I
also note there's a libexpat in /usr/src but don't know what it's there
for).
(I did not copy my errors because I thought I had found a solution, but
it's the same error, I assure you).
After that,
I tried resorting to building apache with --with-expat=builtin
I then got THIS error:
/home/danm/httpd-2.2.6/srclib/apr/libtool --silent --mode=link gcc -g -O2

So that's it. I don't know how to fix this one -- and if it's upgrading
my libiconv will fix it (but will require me to upgrade every program --
both binary and port) that depends on it, I'm willing, but pkg_info -f -g
libiconv-1.9.2_2 reports no mismatched checksums (which implies to me that
the libraries should have the functions that the header files are there).
If you need more info, please let me know.
I had to do the upgrade-everything dance a few weeks ago because something
broke libintl -- I for a few moments blamed it that problem, but other
people, on other production systems are having these issues. I'm not
about to do it again just to get a newer libiconv when I don't think
that's the problem.
pkg_info -f -g apr-db42-1.2.7_1
[snip]
Mismatched Checksums:
pkg_info: /usr/local/build-1/apr_rules.mk doesn't exist
pkg_info: /usr/local/build-1/libtool doesn't exist
pkg_info: /usr/local/build-1/make_exports.awk doesn't exist
pkg_info: /usr/local/build-1/make_var_export.awk doesn't exist
pkg_info: /usr/local/build-1/mkdir.sh doesn't exist
If this is a bug in apache, please let me know and I'll file major bug
reports there. If on the other hand, the behavior documented by the ports
installing files that report wrong locations, ldconfig reporting libraries
that cannot be found, and the like, please let me know and I'll open (one
or several) FreeBSD bugs. It's clear from the searching I've been doing
for several hours now that I'm not the only person having these issues.
Also, my uptime is nearly a year, which makes me a little old:
Uname: FreeBSD prime.gushi.org 6.2-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 6.2-PRERELEASE
But I'm loathe to fully cvsup, buildworld, and reboot on a production
system unless we're sure it will do something (and I'm not at all sure it
will).
If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.
Thanks,
Dan Mahoney
