Hello,
I think I have found the problem.
-----[Makefile]---------------------------
....cut.....
# FULLEXT = Pathname for extension directory (eg Foo/Bar/Oracle).
# BASEEXT = Basename part of FULLEXT. May be just equal FULLEXT. (eg Oracle)
# PARENT_NAME = NAME without BASEEXT and no trailing :: (eg Foo::Bar)
# DLBASE = Basename part of dynamic library. May be just equal BASEEXT.
MAKE = make <--------------- HERE
FULLEXT = mod_perl2
BASEEXT = mod_perl2
....cut.....
-----[Makefile]---------------------------
The generated Makefile does define: MAKE = make
This does unfortunately not work if the found make is the AIX make and
not GNU make (aka gmake).
If you modify your PATH before you compile mod_perl to include the
directory /opt/freeware/bin
before /usr/bin or export MAKE=/opt/freeware/bin/gmake (and if GNU make
is installed on the system)
then the GNU make is used.
The build will work with GNU make without a problem.
I suggest to add a note in the INSTALL to:
export MAKE="/opt/freeware/bin/gmake"
perl Makefile.PL ....
-----[./INSTALL]--------
Simple install:
% perl Makefile.PL MP_APXS=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs
% make && make test
% make install
Simple config:
LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so
#PerlModule Apache::compat
# your config comes here
-----[./INSTALL]--------
->
-----[./INSTALL]--------
Simple install:
% perl Makefile.PL MP_APXS=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs
% make && make test
% make install
Simple install on AIX:
You will need GNU make to compile mod_perl. The AIX make does not work.
If you have installed GNU make from the AIX Toolbox:
% export MAKE="/opt/freeware/bin/gmake"
% perl Makefile.PL MP_APXS=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs
% gake && gake test
% gake install
Simple config:
LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so
#PerlModule Apache::compat
# your config comes here
-----[./INSTALL]--------
Bye

I do have a problem compiling mod_perl 2.0.8, 2.0.10 or 2.0.11 on AIX 7.1/7.2.
I did not have this problem in the past (older AIX and older AIX system Perl
v5.10.1).
The current system Perl version on AIX is 5.28.1.
[...]
make: 1254-002 Cannot find a rule to create target static from dependencies.
Well, I googled that error message, and I saw that another person reported
the exact same "make" error when compiling mod_perl 2.0.2 on AIX 5.2 on 07
Feb 2006. There was no follow-up with a solution. Another person also
reported the same "make" error with AIX 6.1 when compiling mod_perl 2.0.10
with Perl 5.26.1 on 15 Nov 2017. No reply then either. Do a Google search
for details. You might try emailing the person who posted in 2017 and see if
they were ever able to get it to compile.
https://www.perzl.org/aix/index.php?n=Main.ModPerl has a mod_perl 2.0.7
package for AIX 5.1. So, yeah, it looks to be a long-standing problem. :-(
Make sure you've read through https://perldoc.perl.org/perlaix to see if any
of that applies. I see a suggestion there that says to compile Perl with
gcc. It might be worth trying that and then compiling mod_perl with gcc too.
Good luck. If you find a solution, please come back and post it for future
AIX users.
Regards,
Ed
