So, digging deeper, it turns out that the problem here is with Apache2::Build
in which the following code exists:
unless (($mpm_name and $self->httpd_is_source_tree)) {
if ($self->dir) {
my $config_vars_file = catfile $self->dir,
"build", "config_vars.mk";
if (open my $fh, $config_vars_file) {
while (<$fh>) {
if (/MPM_NAME = (\w+)/) {
$mpm_name = $1;
last;
}
}
close $fh;
}
}
}
However if you look at config_vars.mk... There is no MPM_NAME attribute set.
Only
MPM_SUBDIRS = event
MPM_LIB = server/mpm/event/libevent.la
(yes it's not consistent with the below… these are defaults, just to see what
the ./configure script without an mpm declaration would yield)
So, what's up with ./configure and Apache2::Build?? Any ideas? I'm going to
change Apache2::Build for now and see if that yields any fruit in getting the
mpm name.
Thanks,

Subject: Trouble with Makefile.PL
Hello all,
I'm having a lot of trouble trying to statically build mod_perl and apache on
Solaris 10 Sparc. I get the following error when I try and build statically:
Configuring Apache/2.4.2 mod_perl/2.0.5 Perl/v5.12.3
[ error] Failed to obtain the MPM name. Please specify
MP_APXS=/full/path/to/apxs to solve this problem.
Here is the command I am using:
CC=`which gcc` CPP="`which gcc` -E" perl Makefile.PL
MP_AP_PREFIX=$HOME/httpd-2.4.2 MP_USE_STATIC=1 MP_AP_CONFIGURE=" \
--prefix=/cms/usr/local/www \
--with-ssl=/opt/mlb \
--enable-static-support \
--enable-mods-shared='most' --with-mpm=prefork \
--enable-mods-static='perl ssl so prefork cgi' \
`which gcc` yields: /usr/local/bin/gcc
It's version :
Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc/sparc-sun-solaris2.10/3.4.6/specs
Configured with: ../configure --with-as=/usr/ccs/bin/as
--with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld --enable-shared --enable-languages=c,c++,f77

Any ideas? I don't have apache currently installed and the docs said I didn't
need it. However this would indicate that I would.
Many thanks in advance.
