http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17232 configure tries to use -lcrypt before testing to see if it's installed Summary: configure tries to use -lcrypt before testing to see if it's installed Product: APR Version: HEAD Platform: PC OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: APR AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Under Cygwin 1.3.20 on Win2kSP3, Apache 2.0.44 attempts to use -lcrypt in test programs within "configure" before testing that -lcrypt is actually there. The result is that many tests strangely fail, with the entire configure routine coming to a halt when trying to decide between Shared Memory methods when they all mysteriously fail. Analysis of apr/config.log showed gcc -o conftest.exe -g -O2 -DCYGWIN conftest.c -lm -lcrypt >&5 followed by gcc error messages reporting failure to find -lcrypt. libcrypt is an optional component under cygwin and was not installed on my system -- installing it from cygwin setup fixes this problem and permits compilation without serious issue :) Happily working system achieved. Shouldn't configure test that -lcrypt is going to work before assuming that it will? (Hence giving a helpful error message like "You need libcrypt" rather than Shared Memory Allocation method could not be determined :) FYI, configure cmd line was: ./configure --with-layout=Apache --enable-speling -enable-dav --enable- rewrite --enable-so --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
