I will try to provide you with a step-by-step guide for a RHEL 8 vanilla installation. Please feel free to tweak according to your needs.
1) Make sure the required packages are installed: $ *dnf install apr-devel openssl-devel java-11-openjdk-devel* 2) Fetch the tomcat-native from the official site $ *wget https://dlcdn.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-connectors/native/1.3.1/source/tomcat-native-1.3.1-src.tar.gz <https://dlcdn.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-connectors/native/1.3.1/source/tomcat-native-1.3.1-src.tar.gz>* (Optional but recommended: Compare the hashes found at https://tomcat.apache.org/download-native.cgi) 3) Extract the compressed file and move to the native directory: $ *tar -xvf tomcat-native-1.3.1-src.tar.gz && cd tomcat-native-1.3.1-src/native/* 4) Run the configuration script: $ *./configure --with-java-home=$(dirname $(dirname $(readlink $(readlink $(which javac)))))* (You can simply replace `--with-java-home=/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-11.0.25.0.9-2.el8.x86_64` . The command above conveniently detects the relevant path.) The logs will be something like the following: checking build system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu checking host system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu checking target system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking for working mkdir -p... yes Tomcat Native Version: 1.3.1 checking for chosen layout... tcnative checking for APR... yes configure: APR 1.6.3 detected. setting CC to "gcc" setting CPP to "gcc -E" checking JAVA_HOME... /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-11.0.25.0.9-2.el8.x86_64 adding "-I/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-11.0.25.0.9-2.el8.x86_64/include" to TCNATIVE_PRIV_INCLUDES checking for JDK os include directory... linux adding "-I/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-11.0.25.0.9-2.el8.x86_64/include/linux" to TCNATIVE_PRIV_INCLUDES checking for gcc... gcc checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out checking for suffix of executables... checking whether we are cross compiling... no checking for suffix of object files... o checking whether the compiler supports GNU C... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes checking for gcc option to enable C11 features... none needed checking for OpenSSL library... using openssl from /usr/lib64 and /usr/include checking OpenSSL library version >= 1.1.1... ok checking for OpenSSL DSA support... yes setting TCNATIVE_LDFLAGS to "-lssl -lcrypto" adding "-DHAVE_OPENSSL" to CFLAGS setting TCNATIVE_LIBS to "" setting TCNATIVE_LIBS to " /usr/lib64/libapr-1.la -lpthread -ldl" adding "-DTCNATIVE_LINUX" to CFLAGS checking for apr_pollset_wakeup in -lapr-1... yes adding "-DHAVE_POLLSET_WAKEUP" to CFLAGS configure: creating ./config.status config.status: creating Makefile config.status: executing default commands You can tweak the configure script at your needs. By running `*./configure --help*` you will see all the arguments that can be provided. 5) Build the libraries: $ *make* (There is a high probability that you'll face the following error on a rhel machine : `gcc: error: /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-cc1: No such file or directory` . This can be resolved by installing $ dnf install redhat-rpm-config rpm-build . Rerun the make command) 6) Install the libraries: $ *make install * 7) The default installation path is /usr/local/apr/lib/ (since we have not provided a value to the --prefix argument of the configure script). By listing the files, you should see the following: $ *ls /usr/local/apr/lib/* libtcnative-1.a libtcnative-1.la libtcnative-1.so libtcnative-1.so.0 libtcnative-1.so.0.3.1 I hope this clears it up for you.
