I simply cannot get mod_perl/apache to compile. My understanding is
that I configure .makepl_args.mod_perl to compile both mod_perl. Then I
do the following:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
Assuming there where no problems, all should be installed and ready to
go. But all is not well. First some version info. I just downloaded
mod_perl-1.22 and apache_1.3.12 and am working with fresh trees. I run
the perl Makefile.PL and that seems to work well, I don't see any
errors. When I try to run make, I get this error:
# make
(cd /usr/src/apache_1.3.12 && make)
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/apache_1.3.12'
make[1]: *** No targets. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/apache_1.3.12'
make: *** [apaci_httpd] Error 2
My understanding is that the `perl Makefile.PL` WILL also run configure
for apache. Just to make sure I was not mistaken, I have tried to first
go into the apache tree and run configure with the same options that are
in my .makepl_args.mod_perl. Then run `perl Makefile.PL`, run `make`
(which works this time), and then run `make test`. It is `make test`
that bombs out with this error:
letting apache warm up...\c
Syntax error on line 30 of /usr/src/mod_perl-1.22/t/conf/httpd.conf:
Invalid command '=pod', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not
included in the server configuration

still waiting for server to warm up...............not ok
server failed to start! (please examine t/logs/error_log) at t/TEST line
95.
make: *** [run_tests] Error 111
Now, there is no 't/logs/error_log' file to examine. But I did notice
an error in reading in the the httpd.conf file. I looked into line 30
of '/usr/src/mod_perl-1.22/t/conf/httpd.conf' and this is what I found:
=pod
=head1 NAME
mod_perl test configuration file
=head1 DESCRIPTION
umm, we use this to test mod_perl
=over to apache
I am under the impression that the httpd.conf file is the conf file that
httpd is reading in for the test. My understanding is that equals is
not a valid beginning of an apache conf file.
I have NO CLUE as to what is going on here. I would truly appreciate it
if you know anything about this please let me know what is going on. At
the bottom you will find my '.makepl_args.mod_perl' and the command line
options I am using for apache.
