All;
I am generally responsible for compiling Apache at my job but looking ahead to
Apache 2.4 I am running into a couple of issues/questions:
a) PCRE is now required separately. I don't find much information about
compiling PCRE, specifically for Apache. Are there any necessary configure
options that should be used when compiling PCRE?
b) The OpenSSL compilation instructions say to use CFLAGS="-fPIC" environment
variable to enable shared objects. Does anyone know if not doing this will
affect the function or performance of a self-contained Apache build? By
self-contained I mean that every piece of the Apache build is being configured
with --prefix=/some/apache/directory (generically).
Thanks,
-Les K.
