I'm not sure why I didn't think of this before, but I added that one line to 'configure'.
m...@mybox:~/httpd-2.2.11.jeff-1 $ diff configure configure.1 8162d8161 < module_default=shared And I ran: ./configure --enable-mods-shared And after I run 'make' I find what I was hoping for: all the default modules compiled as shared objects. $ find . -name '*.so' ./modules/mappers/.libs/mod_alias.so ./modules/mappers/.libs/mod_negotiation.so ./modules/mappers/.libs/mod_userdir.so ./modules/mappers/.libs/mod_actions.so ./modules/mappers/.libs/mod_dir.so ./modules/http/.libs/mod_mime.so ./modules/loggers/.libs/mod_log_config.so ./modules/filters/.libs/mod_include.so ./modules/filters/.libs/mod_filter.so ./modules/metadata/.libs/mod_setenvif.so ./modules/metadata/.libs/mod_env.so ./modules/generators/.libs/mod_status.so ./modules/generators/.libs/mod_asis.so ./modules/generators/.libs/mod_autoindex.so ./modules/generators/.libs/mod_cgi.so ./modules/aaa/.libs/mod_authn_file.so ./modules/aaa/.libs/mod_authz_groupfile.so ./modules/aaa/.libs/mod_authz_host.so ./modules/aaa/.libs/mod_auth_basic.so ./modules/aaa/.libs/mod_authz_default.so ./modules/aaa/.libs/mod_authn_default.so ./modules/aaa/.libs/mod_authz_user.so ./srclib/apr/.libs/libapr-1.so ./srclib/apr-util/.libs/libaprutil-1.so ./srclib/apr-util/xml/expat/lib/.libs/libexpat.so After I don't modify 'configure' and do the same thing, then I get: $ find . -name '*.so' ./srclib/apr/.libs/libapr-1.so ./srclib/apr-util/.libs/libaprutil-1.so ./srclib/apr-util/xml/expat/lib/.libs/libexpat.so So that one change gave me what I was looking for. However, did I just add a feature I wanted or fix a small 'configure' bug? Does this belong on the Developer list instead?
