All,
I've never built tcnative before, but I'm no stranger to the standard
UNIX source package build process. I'm having a bit of difficulty
building this.
I'm starting with the bin/tomcat-native.tar.gz that comes with Tomcat
5.5.26 which ends up being tcnative 1.1.12. The README file in that
package says to "see native/BUILDING" about building the native part of
the package. The path is actually jni/native/BUILDING. Just thought I'd
point that out.
A ./configure with no arguments can't find apr, so I had to tell it
where to find it (I'm using Gentoo Linux which has its own idea about
things, so I'm happy to track these things down). Next, I run:
./configure --with-apr=/usr/bin/apr-1-config
...and this is where things fall apart for me. Here's the output of
configure (apologies for any bad line wrapping):
$ ./configure --with-apr=/usr/bin/apr-1-config

./configure: line 4325: BASH_VERSINFO: command not found
./configure: line 4326: BASH_VERSION: command not found
...
This is followed by hundreds of lines of "line xyz: [whatever]: command
not found". Not everything looks like an environment variable or make
variable:
...
./configure: line 4445: _: command not found
./configure: line 4446: abs_builddir: command not found
./configure: line 4447: abs_srcdir: command not found
./configure: line 4448: ac_abs_confdir: command not found
./configure: line 4449: ac_arg: command not found
./configure: line 4450: ac_aux_dir: command not found
./configure: line 4451: ac_build_alias: command not found
./configure: line 4452: ac_c_werror_flag: command not found
...
Then, in the middle of the complaints about unrecognized commands, I see:
...
./configure: line 4611: get_version: command not found
Usage: host [-aCdlriTwv] [-c class] [-N ndots] [-t type] [-W time]
[-R number] [-m flag] hostname [server]
-a is equivalent to -v -t ANY
-c specifies query class for non-IN data
-C compares SOA records on authoritative nameservers
-d is equivalent to -v
-l lists all hosts in a domain, using AXFR
-i IP6.INT reverse lookups
-N changes the number of dots allowed before root lookup is done
-r disables recursive processing
-R specifies number of retries for UDP packets
-s a SERVFAIL response should stop query
-t specifies the query type
-T enables TCP/IP mode
-v enables verbose output
-w specifies to wait forever for a reply
-W specifies how long to wait for a reply
-4 use IPv4 query transport only
-6 use IPv6 query transport only
-m set memory debugging flag (trace|record|usage)
./configure: line 4613: host_alias: command not found
...
Then I see this:
...
./configure: line 4672: x_libraries: command not found
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating tcnative.pc
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: executing default commands
./configure: line 5371: APR_BUILD_DIR: command not found
...
and lots more "command not found" and usage information for the 'host'
command.
Since I saw the "creating Makefile" line, I took a chance and just ran
make, which appears to result in a series of static and shared libraries:
- -rw-r--r-- 1 chris users 1080268 May 18 10:31 .libs/libtcnative-1.a
- -rwxr-xr-x 1 chris users 761938 May 18 10:31
.libs/libtcnative-1.so.0.1.12
(plus all the symlinks, etc.)
Note that the version number looks wrong (file name says 0.1.12 and I
had expected 1.1.12).
So, technically, I suppose I didn't have any trouble building tcnative.
On the other hand, a reasonable person would have expected the output of
configure to mean that the configure had failed. Is all that output
really necessary?
I realize I'm using a /super/ old version of tcnative, as the oldest one
shown on http://tomcat.apache.org/native-doc/ is 1.1.13. Any reason not
to upgrade to the most recent version?
Thanks,
- -chris
