I'm new to FreeBSD and ports, and don't know make well yet, so this could just be something I messed up on my own, redoing the ports tree and all. But the first couple of times I remade apache2, I got a mod_cgi.so installed. Now, the past couple of times I've remade it (perhaps since Wednesday or so?), it's making all the modules I want except mod_cgi. I've cvsup'ed a couple of times since then, and I've got WITH_MISC_MODULES=yes, but in config.log I find this: $ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-layout=FreeBSD --with-perl=/usr/local/bin/perl5.8.7 --with-port=80 --with-expat=/usr/local --with-iconv=/usr/local --libdir=/usr/local/lib/apache2 --includedir=/usr/local/include/apache2 --enable-v4-mapped <snip a bit of irrelevant modules etc. --disable-autoindex --disable-asis --disable-cgid --disable-cgi --disable-negotiation <snip> --enable-mods-shared=access auth auth_anon auth_dbm auth_digest dav dav_fs ldap auth_ldap actions alias asis autoindex cache cern_meta charset_lite deflate dir disk_cache env expires file_cache headers imap include info log_config logio mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias proxy proxy_connect proxy_ftp proxy_http ssl suexec cgid suexec --with-mpm=worker i386-portbld-freebsd5.4 --prefix=/usr/local i386-portbld-freebsd5.4
Note that in --enable-mods-shared, the rest of the MISC category is
included, except cgi. I also find these lines in Makefile.modules that
might be relevant (since I'm not familiar with make syntax, I'm not sure
under what conditions these lines will be active):
WITHOUT_MODULES+= cgi
...
MISC_MODULES= actions alias asis autoindex cache cern_meta \
cgi charset_lite deflate dir disk_cache env expires \
file_cache headers imap include info log_config logio mime \
mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status \
unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias
So, if it's not actually broken in the port, how do I fix it so it
installs mod_cgi on my system? Even if it is just a dirty hack to inject
the option into a Makefile or configure. If it's broken in the port, of
course, that should probably be fixed!
