Hi, I wonder if anyone can help. I'm trying to install mod-perl 1.99.04 on an alpha
running OSF1 v4.0d with apache 2.0.39 and perl 5.6.1. I'm consistently getting the
same error when I try 'make':-
ld:
Invalid flag usage: Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/alpha-dec_osf/CORE,
-Wx,-option must appear after -_SYSTYPE_SVR4
ld: Usage: ld [options] file [...]
make[1]: *** [mod_perl.so] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/mod_perl-1.99_04/src/modules/perl'
make: *** [modperl_lib] Error 2
This subject came up on the list about 18 months ago, but with mod-perl 1.26 and
apache 1.3; the solution then was to build a static mod-perl and use perl 5.005.
However according to the documentation, static builds are not yet supported in
mod-perl 1.99, and I'm not going to go back to perl 5.005.
If I manually edit the Makefiles to remove the Wl and change -rpath,/usr... to -rpath
/usr..., things go further, but then die with another error:-
ld:
Object file format error in: tmp.a(ARFILENAMES): read_cur_obj_info: bad file magic
number(0x6f6d)
make[3]: *** [../../../blib/arch/auto/ModPerl/Const/Const.so] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/mod_perl-1.99_04/xs/ModPerl/Const'
make[2]: *** [subdirs] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/mod_perl-1.99_04/xs/ModPerl'
make[1]: *** [subdirs] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/mod_perl-1.99_04/xs'
make: *** [subdirs] Error 2
Is this related to the changes that I've made, or another problem? Has anyone managed
to sucessfully do this installation on OSF 4.0d, and if so how please?
TIA
Mark C
