Midgard under Apple MacOSX/Darwin Meta: I suggest postings regarding Mac OS X should be titled/contain MacOSX/Darwin or somrthing similar. Most search engines discard short strings, and the MARC archive search engine has this problem. It is hard to find postings related this platform.
Why:
- To prove it can be done
- To learn about the Unix side of OS X
- A future project has OS X as a requirement
- Refine the Midgard-in-a-sandbox Makefile I am working on
- To give my brand new Powerbook something taxing to do besides playing DVDs
Basic principles:
- Use fink to install requirements
- Compile Apache, PHP & Midgard from source
- Keep the process as similar as possible. I want to have one makefile
to do Linux & Darwin setups transparently
- Once the requirements have been satisfied, Apache, PHP & Midgard must
be compiled and run as a non-privileged user. Also, these packages will
not be installed in systemwide locations. This is the
midgard-in-a-sandbox approach that I think is an absolute requirement
for serious midgard development.
Steps:
1 - Use fink to install
- autoconf25
- automake
- bison
- bzip2
- cvs
- cvs2cl
- daemonic
- db4-bin
- db4-doc
- db4-shlibs
- db4
- debianutils
- diffutils
- expat
- flex
- gdbm-shlibs
- gdbm
- gettext
- glib
- gzip
- lesstif
- libiconv
- libtool14
- libxml2
- lynx
- m4
- mysql
- ncftp
- ncurses
- passwd
- patch
- readline-shlibs
- readline
- tar
- wget
- zlib
2 - Obtain and customize/configure makefile (see attached)
3 - make
The whole process works like a charm, everything compiles, and the world
is happy, except that when I hit a midgard page, the page is not
generated, and the errorlog contains
[Wed Jul 17 16:13:47 2002] [error] PHP Warning: Cannot dynamically load
midgard.so - dynamic modules are not supported in

I have found the reason for this: according to Apple, dl() is not
supported, see
- http://developer.apple.com/internet/macosx/php.html
- http://www.php.net/release_4_2_0.php
- http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=18383 (filed it as a bug)
The problem is that it is not obvious how to build midgard-php4 first,
to then link it statically into mod_php. I have explored that path,
without much success. I am now about to try the latest PHP snapshot.
So my big question of the day is: Has anyone ever built Midgard
statically linked to PHP? How?
cheers,
