Bug #14593 Updated: configure fails with apxs

ID: 14593 Updated by: sander Reported By: zhamm@nc.rr.com Old Status: Open Status: Feedback Bug Type: Apache related Operating System: AIX 4.3.3 PHP Version: 4.1.0 New Comment: Did you check out http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.build.php#AEN74685 ? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-12-18 18:12:06] zhamm@nc.rr.com Using AIX 4.3.3 and C for AIX 5.0 compiler. When running configure, I do the following: [root@mars /php]# export CC=/usr/bin/cc [root@mars /php]# export CFLAGS="-g -ma" [root@mars /php]# cd php-4.1.0/ [root@mars php-4.1.0]# ./configure --enable-c9x-inline --with-apxs=/usr/HTTPServer/bin/apxs I get: ---------------- checking for Apache module support via DSO through APXS... Sorry, I was not able to successfully run APXS. Possible reasons: 1. Perl is not installed; 2. Apache was not compiled with DSO support (--enable-module=so); 3. 'apxs' is not in your path. Try to use --with-apxs=/path/to/apxs The output of /usr/HTTPServer/bin/apxs follows Usage: apxs -g [-S <var>=<val>] -n <modname> apxs -q [-S <var>=<val>] <query> ... apxs -c [-S <var>=<val>] [-o <dsofile>] [-D <name>[=<value>]] [-I <incdir>] [-L <libdir>] [-l <libname>] [-Wc,<flags>] REQUIRED OPTION[-bE: <filename.exp>] [-Wl,<flags>] <files> ... apxs -i [-S <var>=<val>] [-a] [-A] [-n <modname>] <dsofile> ... apxs -e [-S <var>=<val>] [-a] [-A] [-n <modname>] <dsofile> ... configure: error: Aborting -------------------------------- Not sure what's going on here, I could compile 4.0.5 on AIX using the same OS version and compiler. I did make sure that /usr/HTTPServer/bin/apxs has a good pointer to perl (it defaults to /usr/local/bin/perl, which is wrong). In apxs, there is a note about apache modules: ## IMPORTANT NOTE FOR APXS USE ON AIX (ONLY): ##1. AIX requires that all dynamically linkable objects to EXPORT their public ## interfaces in a .exp file. This is required at the link step. ## If you do not have an .exp file, then you can generate one containing ## a single line with the name of the module. For example, in our sample ## module, example_module.c we generate an example_module.exp with ## 1 line -> example_module. ## For AIX only we have added an additional option -bE: <filename.exp> ## which is supplied as option on input to APXS script. ##2. Some 3rd party modules use a ./configure script with an APXS option. These ## configure scripts use the APXS script with a -q (query) option to get ## information on Compiler flags and Link flags. If the congfigure script ## relies on getting CFG_LDFLAGS_SHLIB from APXS script then the configure ## script will fail. The CFG_LDFLAGS_SHLIB in APXS script are not complete ## without the :bE options passed as input to APXS. Many configure script ## on AIX have an option to supply these Link Flags. ##3. NOTE: The httpd.exp file on IHS 1.3.6 is installed into ## /usr/HTTPServer/example_module ## but this script relies on httpd.exp being located in ## ## /usr/HTTPServer/libexec ## Please copy httpd.exp to /usr/HTTPServer/libexec before executing ## the APXS script. Any help would be appreciated. Zack ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=14593&edit=1
