Re: Error during the Compile step while upgrading the Apache from 1.3.34 to 2.0.59

[Sandeep Bhatia <bhatia.sandip@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,
 
Thanks for your help.
 
I am using the GCC compiler.The reason behind using the 2.0.XX is , my SAP application is supported by Apache 2.0.xx version only and not by 2.2.XX and 2.4.XX.
 
I have set the following AIX enviroment Variables before Compile Step.
 
CFLAGS="-maix64"; export  CFLAGS; echo $CFLAGS
LDFLAGS="-maix64"; export  LDFLAGS; echo $LDFLAGS
EXTRA_LDFLAGS_SHLIB="-b64 -L/opt/freeware/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0/3.3.2 -lgcc 
-L/opt/freeware/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0/3.3.2/ppc64 -lgcc 
-L/opt/freeware/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0/3.3.2/pthread -lgcc 
-L/opt/freeware/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0/3.3.2/pthread/ppc64  
-lgcc"; export  EXTRA_LDFLAGS_SHLIB; echo $EXTRA_LDFLAGS_SHLIB
OBJECT_MODE=64; export OBJECT_MODE; echo $OBJECT_MODE
 
Awaiting your inputs 
Regards,
Sandeep

Which is not enough to coerce your compiler to emit 64 bit output.  You
missed a lot of details, such as whether you are trying an xlc or gcc
build.  Back up a few steps and try asking again with more details :)

Note 2.0.59 is absolutely ancient.  2.0.64 is the current *legacy*
release and soon to be orphaned.  2.2.21 is the current release which
will soon be superseded by 2.4.  You will get far more help and responses
to problems with the current release than stale releases such as 2.0.59
