struct iovec
" when compiling under Linux?
crypt
function when I attempt to build Apache 1.2.
If you have installed BIND-8
then this is normally due to a conflict between your include files
and your libraries. BIND-8 installs its include files and libraries
/usr/local/include/
and /usr/local/lib/
, while
the resolver that comes with your system is probably installed in
/usr/include/
and /usr/lib/
. If
your system uses the header files in /usr/local/include/
before those in /usr/include/
but you do not use the new
resolver library, then the two versions will conflict.
To resolve this, you can either make sure you use the include files
and libraries that came with your system or make sure to use the
new include files and libraries. Adding -lbind
to the
EXTRA_LDFLAGS
line in your Configuration
file, then re-running Configure, should resolve the
problem. (Apache versions 1.2.* and earlier use
EXTRA_LFLAGS
instead.)
Note:As of BIND 8.1.1, the bind libraries and files are installed under /usr/local/bind by default, so you should not run into this problem. Should you want to use the bind resolvers you'll have to add the following to the respective lines:
EXTRA_CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/bind/include
EXTRA_LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/bind/lib
EXTRA_LIBS=-lbind
If the server won't compile on your system, it is probably due to one of the following causes:
The Apache Group tests the ability to build the server on many different platforms. Unfortunately, we can't test all of the OS platforms there are. If you have verified that none of the above issues is the cause of your problem, and it hasn't been reported before, please submit a problem report. Be sure to include complete details, such as the compiler & OS versions and exact error messages.
struct iovec
" when
compiling under Linux?
This is a conflict between your C library includes and your kernel includes. You need to make sure that the versions of both are matched properly. There are two workarounds, either one will solve the problem:
struct iovec
from your C
library includes. It is located in /usr/include/sys/uio.h
.
Or,
-DNO_WRITEV
to the EXTRA_CFLAGS
line in your Configuration and reconfigure/rebuild.
This hurts performance and should only be used as a last resort.
GCC parses your system header files and produces a modified subset which it uses for compiling. This behaviour ties GCC tightly to the version of your operating system. So, for example, if you were running IRIX 5.3 when you built GCC and then upgrade to IRIX 6.2 later, you will have to rebuild GCC. Similarly for Solaris 2.4, 2.5, or 2.5.1 when you upgrade to 2.6. Sometimes you can type "gcc -v" and it will tell you the version of the operating system it was built against.
If you fail to do this, then it is very likely that Apache will fail
to build. One of the most common errors is with readv
,
writev
, or uio.h
. This is not a
bug with Apache. You will need to re-install GCC.
crypt
function when I attempt to build Apache 1.2.
glibc puts the crypt
function into a separate
library. Edit your src/Configuration
file and set this:
EXTRA_LIBS=-lcrypt
Then re-run src/Configure and re-execute the make.
