-------------8<---------- Start Bug Report ------------8<---------- 1. Problem Description:
I had the following problems building mod_perl 1.99_9 on AIX 4.3.3:
A. The download from perl.apache.org/download/ was named "mod_perl-2.0-current.tar.tar". I think it should have been *.gz.
It is tar.gz, I have just verified. What client were you using to download it? It must have messed things up. Try:
wget http://perl.apache.org/dist/mod_perl-2.0-current.tar.gz
or with some other client.
B. While running make, there was a conflict in the definition of "__attribute__" between .../perl5/5.8.0/aix/CORE/config.h line 41 and .../apache2/include/apr.h line 98. I commented out the definition in config.h to get it to compile.
Hmm, there is not much we can do here. Neither of the two headers is under our control. I guess we could try to undefine __attribute__ before including the second header file. What was the exact error?
C. Also while running make, there was a syntax error in modperl_perl_global.c at line 317. Apparanantly, the AIX compiler (xlc_r) doesn't like the trailing comma at the end of the enum list.
Philippe has already fixed this one in cvs. Please try using the cvs version: http://perl.apache.org/download/source.html#Development_mod_perl_2_0_Source_Distribution
D. The "make test" went south from there. The output is appended at the end of this email.
BTW, I upgraded the compiler yesterday from IBM's latest. The Perl and Apache builds were from scratch using the upgraded complier.
Great. Can you take one of the failing tests e.g. apache/scanhdrs2 and run only it to get and debug the core file? Simply run it as:
t/TEST -v apache/scanhdrs2
then get the core file's backtrace. see below.

Core was generated by `perl'.

(gdb)
now you need to type 'where' or 'bt' to get the trace. Though it's already looks interesting that it fails in a module that we don't use ourselves. Looks like LWP loads it.
