Hi all, I am getting back to doing recent ports to AIX 5.3+ and am running into various minor issues. I do not wish to call any of them a bug, but would like to discuss the best approach to get some modifications worked on so that they go away. This may be a modification in my understanding (aka

Thank you. Just have to figure out where this fits :p. I have never really understood libtool (:p and I wonder if libtool has ever really understood AIX.) What I do recall is that in apr there is a single reference to AIX regarding shared libraries, and rather than use slibclean (shared library

Hi all, I am trying to configure and make httpd 3.16 beta on AIX and I see there is a difference in the way apr is handled. However, I am confused about the versioning numbering? ./configure --with-included-apr ... says apr is version 1.4.5 while if I check the apr mail list, it seems they are

In the code snippet $^O is the file being installed? - and it is all written perl? Just the OS. I think we do this between make and make install in our scripts that drive the build. If I ever have to revisit, I'll probably make install DESTDIR=xxx individually and not treat expat and apr/apu as

Thanks for your response. Actually I considered mod_vhost_alias and it worked well. I just wanted to try some different ways, and wondered why mod_rewrite cannot work well with fastcgi. I assume that mod_rewrite is more flexible in url redirecting than mod_vhost_alias, and I can implement some

That may explain why the initial install into the DESTDIR fails, but what is failing (the cp (copies)) in the second example - after the regular install has been completed. FYI: two+ years ago (2.2.13 and 2.2.16 I did not have the second problem, but then I was using the Apache layout) Thanks,
