So now nearly superfluous info but just for completeness: Your first patch for
modules/proxy/config.m4
sent at "Thu, 23 Jun 2016 07:32:02 -0500" solved at least the superficial
problem and let the configure
run end without an error.
The entire solution is now presented in STATUS, but for reviewersÂ
I've rolled up all of the diffs into a single delta that can be applied
to either 2.4.21 or 2.4.22 release candidates for easier testing;
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wrowe/patches/master/proxy-rollup-2.4.21.patch
This will hopefully address every edge case with the proxy and
proxy sub-modules logic in ./configure (just be sure to re-run
./buildconf after applying this patch!)
Ok, I applied the patch to both release candidates and a
./configure --enable-mods-shared=few
ends without errors (using openSUSE Leap 42.1; autoconf-2.69-11.4.noarch;
libtool-2.4.2-16.6.x86_64).
But a subsequent "make" produces to the expected 21 modules
additionally the 4 modules
modules/proxy/balancers/.libs/mod_lbmethod_bybusyness.so
modules/proxy/balancers/.libs/mod_lbmethod_byrequests.so
modules/proxy/balancers/.libs/mod_lbmethod_bytraffic.so
modules/proxy/balancers/.libs/mod_lbmethod_heartbeat.so
As since yesterday httpd-2.4.x seems now accordingly patched I tried that
branch and it also works with the above configure command and a subsequent
"make" produces just the expected 21 modules.
So for the original reported error regarding the configure option
--enable-mods-shared=few the fixes seems ok now.
But some observations (from an outsider):
1) Just a pure ./configure (probably equivalent to using the option
--enable-mods-shared=most) let produce the "make" (compared to the last
release 2.4.20) 86 modules instead 85 modules with the additional modules
modules/core/.libs/mod_watchdog.so
modules/proxy/.libs/mod_proxy_hcheck.so
and the omitted module
modules/session/.libs/mod_session_crypto.so
That may be expected.
By the way the option --enable-mods-shared=all produces 103 modules and
--enable-mods-shared=reallyall 120 ones.
2) But for me surprising the option--enable-mods-shared=none seems to have
the same configuration effect as the option--enable-mods-shared=most
(producing 86 modules) respectively the option is ignored and the default
"most" is used.
Similar for e.g. --enable-mods-shared='headers rewrite dav' (an example
from the documentation page
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/programs/configure.html) seems to produce
the same behaviour like --enable-mods-shared=most while I would expect
that only the three specified modules would be buillt.
Odd, also arbitray module names like --enable-mods-shared=nonsense seems
equivalent to --enable-mods-shared=most.
But that is an error it seems not a regression since 2.4.20 shows the same
behaviour.
