I have to admit I'm not any good at compiling. My knowledge is limited to 3 steps; ./configure make make install If I have to add or take away any extra arguments, I have to blindly follow a doc or someone's advice because I have no clue what the arguments are or what they do. I did leave out everything at first and the configure ran through without any errors but the pcre wasn't part of it. I have no idea what pcre is, only that the apache web site doc said it was required so I don't know how I would leave that out. I have already seen so many different docs that have me going in all different directions to get apache installed that I now have a huge mix of just about everything that can be installed yet I still can't get apache to install.
So I just blindly followed what you sent and here's what I get when I use that info. checking for APR-util... yes checking for gcc... xlc_r -q64 checking whether the C compiler works... no configure: error: in `/home/jwaller/httpd-2.4.7': configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details lastorecomdev:/home/jwaller/httpd-2.4.7> No matter who's advice I have followed or what doc, all I get is errors and I don't get any closer to an actual installation of apache. I really would love to see an actual doc for this instead of having to pull many docs together, cross my fingers and still hope it just works. Thanks.

When I build similar to the wiki, my configure line is very simple: My default env: /usr/local/svnkit/bin:/home/covener/wasbld/mantis/bin:/home/covener/bin:/home/covener/java/jre/bin:/home/covener/java/bin:/usr/bin:/etc:/usr/sbin:/usr/ucb:/usr/bin/X11:/sbin:/usr/java14/jre/bin:/usr/java14/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/vacpp/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/freeware/bin:/home/covener/java/bin What I add during build: export OBJECT_MODE=64 export CC="xlc_r -q64" export PATH=/opt/freeware/bin:$PATH export CONFIG_SHELL=/usr/bin/bash export lt_cv_path_NM="/usr/bin/nm -B -X64" export AR="ar -X64" My configure line from config.nice: #! /bin/sh # # Created by configure CC="xlc_r -q64"; export CC "./configure" \ "--enable-mods-shared=all" \ "--prefix=/tmp/httpd-2.4.7/built" \ "--enable-maintainer-mode" \ "CC=xlc_r -q64" \ "$@" --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@httpd.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@httpd.apache.org This communication is intended only for the use of the individual or entity named as the addressee.
