All, Someone recently on the users list[1] had some trouble building mod_jk and it turned out that the problem was a missing c++ compiler.
I did some quick checking and it doesn't look like mod_jk requires a c++ compiler for any actual compilation -- that is, everything is declared as "extern C" and no obvious c++ features in use. httpd advertises requirements for autoconf, libtool, and an ANSI-C compiler (not C++). I didn't actually try to build httpd without having c++ available. Is this simply an oversight in the configure script? Are we stupidly requiring a C++ compiler, or is there a reason that it is required? If it's required, I'd like to document it in BUILDING.txt. If it's not required, can we fix configure so that it doesn't bomb without a C++ compiler? Actually, if it's required, maybe we can try to figure out how to remove that requirement. Thanks, -chris [1] http://markmail.org/thread/ikrcc4fb477n2nlj
