I strongly recommend that you let mod_perl do the apache build for you. Just make
sure it can find the src directory under apache.
Here's a script that I use. Hasn't failed me yet, although YMMV as I'm doing this on
Solaris and Linux, not HP-UX. Don't see why it would be significantly different,
though. Some notes are included....
** Use mod_perl to perform the apache build. To do this, create a script that passes
various options to the build process. The following options we use and their meaning
are:
DO_HTTPD=1 – tells mod_perl to do the apache build for you, skipping the interactive
interface.
USE_APACI=1 – tells mod_perl to use the Apache AutoConf Interface.
APACHE_PREFIX= /usr/local/apache – installation path for apache.
APACHE_SRC= /path/to/apache_x.xx.src – tells mod_perl where to find the apache
source.
EVERYTHING=1 – turns on all of mod_perl’s features.
APACI_ARGS= -- option=value, --option=value, etc. – passes additional arguments to
apache’s configure script. We use it to enable several modules at the time of the
build.
Create the script:
perl Makefile.PL \r
APACHE_PREFIX=/usr/local/apache \r
APACHE_SRC=../apache_1.3.14/src \r
DO_HTTPD=1 \r
USE_APACI=1 \r
EVERYTHING=1 \r
APACI_ARGS='--enable-module=status --enable-module=speling --enable-module=rewrite
--enable-module=auth_dbm' \r
$1
Name it build_apache.sh and move into mod_perl directory. Now run the usual:
sh ./build_apache.sh
make
make test
Hope this is of some use to you and everyone else out there who has to do mod_perl
installs. Btw, there is an EXCELLENT mod_perl book "Writing Apache Modules in Perl
and C" by Lincoln Stein and Doug MacEachern (the writer of mod_perl). Most of my
notes from the above were taken directly from the book.
