mod_perl 1.0 Compilation on Linux Ubuntu

Hi,

I'm having trouble compiling mod_perl on latest ubuntu (Jaunty), i've tried the latest version of mod_perl: 1.31 and apache: 1.3.41 without success, then i downgraded to some older versions once i was able to build: mod_perl.1.30 and apache 1.3.39, without success too.

The problem is that after doing perl Makefile.PL DO_HTTPD=1 USE_APACI=1 EVERYTHING=1

I get the following error:

** A test compilation with your Makefile configuration
** failed. The below error output from the compilation
** test will give you an idea what is failing. Note that
** Apache requires an ANSI C Compiler, such as gcc.

======== Error Output for sanity check ========
cd ..; cc -DLINUX=22 -DMOD_PERL -DUSE_PERL_SSI -D_REENTRANT -DDEBIAN -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DUSE_HSREGEX -DNO_DL_NEEDED -D_REENTRANT -DDEBIAN -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 `./apaci` -I. -I/usr/lib/perl/5.10/CORE -o helpers/dummy helpers/dummy.c -lm -Wl,-E -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib/perl/5.10/CORE -lperl -ldl -lm -lpthread -lc -lcrypt
============= End of Error Report =============

Aborting!

The message is not clear (to me at least) to where the problem may be, in any case i've rechecked all the requirements, and they look fine.

I've facing this problem before, and i wrote a little script/tutorial with tips for building from source on Ubuntu:

#!/bin/sh

tar xzf mod_perl-1.0-current.tar.gz
tar xzf apache_1.3.39.tar.gz

cd mod_perl-1.30/
perl Makefile.PL APACHE_SRC=../apache_1.3.39/src NO_HTTPD=1 USE_APACI=1 \
PREP_HTTPD=1 EVERYTHING=1
make

# cd ..

# Ubuntu optional
sudo rm -f /bin/sh;
sudo ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libperl.so.5.8.8 /usr/lib/libperl.so
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libgdbm.so.3.0.0 /usr/lib/libgdbm.so

cd ../apache_1.3.39
./configure --activate-module=src/modules/perl/libperl.a \
--disable-rule=EXPAT

sudo killall -TERM httpd
make && sudo make install

cd ../mod_perl-1.30/
sudo make install

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks
Hans

Have you tried running that cc command directly and see what happens ?

Sounds like the compiler is failing and we are not capturing the reason somehow.

Just a hunch, looks like your gcc messages are localized in a non-english language (italian? spanish?)

Can you quickly try and build with LANG=C in your environemnt (or LANG=en_US)

Re: mod_perl 1.0 Compilation on Linux Ubuntu [In reply to]

Philipe,

Since your response i recheck the build process.

I tried to compile just apache 1.3.39 alone, and it didn't work too. This show me the fact that the problem i was experiencing was apache related and not specific to mod_perl.

The problem where really sneaky because it was caused by the spaces in the name of a parent folder. This impacted in different ways in mod_perl and apache build process.

The instructions of mod_perl site suffice and are fine, sorry for the post (but beware of spaces in folder names).

wget http://perl.apache.org/dist/mod_perl-1.0-current.tar.gz
wget http://apache.freeby.pctools.cl/httpd/apache_1.3.41.tar.gz

tar xzf apache_1.3.41.tar.gz
tar xzf mod_perl-1.0-current.tar.gz

cd mod_perl-1.31/
perl Makefile.PL DO_HTTPD=1 USE_APACI=1 EVERYTHING=1
make && sudo make install

In any case the usual fixes mentioned in the first email must be ran in ubuntu.

Thank you
Hans
