####################### # Build/Startup Issue # ####################### OS Ver Mod Comments ---------------------------------------------------------------------- OpenBSD 2.9 DSO Builds but won't start, with segfaults in the Perl lexer. I wasn't even able to start mp1-dso with the customly built perl (tried 5.6.1 .. 5.9.0) -- the segfault is again in lexer. It seems that the standard OpenBSD perl package has been heavily patched, when the core system perl 5.6.0 package was built, since I can run 'make test' on mp1-dso, but not with a customly built 5.6.0 with the same options. Since 2.9 is no longer supported by OpenBSD, there is no 5.6.1 or higher to try, so at this moment we simply give up on 2.9. We think that the static mp2 build should work just fine (once it's available). AIX 3.3 DSO Works with -berok to ignore linking errors (symbol resolution). Should replace -berok with a proper symbol resolution at linking time, but I had not much success with using this approach (dlopen fails). AIX 4.3.3 DSO reported to work with mod_perl_1.99_12 and Apache 2.0.48/prefork mpm but doesn't start with worker: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=106894906200003&r=1&w=2 FreeBSD ??

This is a PERL bug, but p5p and myself, and not sure where the problem is yet. * gcc 4.x and higher compiles break under -Werror [pgollucci volunteers] * AAA changes in httpd break httpd 2.3.x+ (svn trunk) builds terribly on all platforms. * Need to cleanup functions only needed for certain build flavors (perlio/threads/etc) out of lib/ModPerl/WrapXS.pm:$ithread_exports and use the newer, simpler #ifdef technique (see modperl_io_apache_init for an example) * we should stop generating xs/apache_*, at least for a reason that it's incomplete and will be never complete as we don't keep up with changes with ap_/apr_ namespace. Also we don't have the logic to handle cases where functions aren't available on certain platforms. Importing these unavailable functions may cause loading problems on some platforms (aix?). If developers need to import symbols from ap_/apr_ namespace they should use .exp files installed by httpd/apr/aprutil. * we have a dependency check problem when xs/*/*.h use code from xs/modperl_xs*.h, when the latter change 'make' won't rebuild the dependant files * Testing: Need to put Philippe's smoking test into the core -- shouldn't forget to test with perlio enabled and disabled * source_scan won't create Wrap/Foo/Bar.xs if xs/maps/modperl_functions.map defines only a boot section: MODULE=APR::IO PACKAGE=APR::IO BOOT=1 unless there is at least one function added to the .map file http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=apache-modperl-dev&m=100702825506778&w=2
