RE: Compiling/Installing httpd 2.4.2 on AIX 6.1 with gcc/g++

[Brian Gaber <Brian.Gaber@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was getting errors with sqlite also so I added these two configure directives:

 

--without-pdo-sqlite

--without-sqlite

 

This got me past the sqlite problem.

Now I need to see if I actually put everything needed in 
./build/aix/README for httpd.

Starting point for me is: use neither 
/usr(/local) nor /opt/freeware (as I am trying to be independent of "old" 
RPM's). A secondary goal is that the installp packages built are suitable for 
installation in WPAR (hosting) environments.

Next - I started with a 
clean installation (AIX 5.3 TL7 first, working mainly with AIX 6.1 now) and 
"added" things as needed.

For zlib - what is needed is to copy zlib.h, 
and I think there is another zlib related include file as well. -- copy to 
/usr/include, or /opt/include

For apr and apr-util I added build/aix/* 
files - I'll send copies if you like. An independent tester who finds them 
sucessful may help get them accepted to apr and apr-util trunks.

For the 
other packages that are needed - I wrote a buildaix package that you can 
download via http://sourceforge.net/projects/mkinstallp/files/buildaix-1.0.0/

If 
you add /opt/bin to your PATH the command /opt/bin/buildaix will run the 
./configure command with some defaults - basically - prefix is /opt, 
mandir=/usr/share/man, and confdir is /etc (and another one is /var, I forget 
it's name atm).

I choose /opt as, imho, a better generic prefix for AIX - 
where /usr/local just seems to create problems. (Idea: a symbolic link of 
/usr/local -> /opt might fix a lot of things that break with "./configure" 
commands that only look at /usr and /usr/local by default - but this is an 
aside".

Summary: drop /usr/local as prefix, stop using old RPM (or any 
RPM if possible) - instead

download and build fresh using buildaix -- 
/opt, /etc, /var and /usr/share/man as default destinations

For httpd: 
customized version of build/aix/* for apr-util in any case (buildaix could be 
used for apr, but I have a seperate set of files for that package as 
well)

So, e.g., coreutils I built and installed using buildaix, same for 
pcre and any other required external package.

Thus, with php, I started 
with buildaix. 

libxml2 was missing so the basic step was:
root@x104:[/data/prj/libxml2-2.7.7]buildaix
....
installp -d . 
aixtools.libxml2.rte
....
aixtools.libxml2.rte        
2.7.7.0         
USR         
APPLY       SUCCESS    

Added /opt to list of directories to search in configure to look for 
xml2-config
LINE 21865

And configure completes.

I also got an 
Syntax errors with embedded sqlite so I compiled an external version. However, 
php continues to try to compile that.

Maybe you can help me beyond this 
point:

michael@x054:[/data/prj/php-5.3.13]cat 
php_configure.ksh
#!/usr/bin/ksh

set -x

./configure \
        
--prefix=/opt \
        
--sysconfdir=/etc \
        
--mandir=/usr/share/man \
        
--with-libdir=/opt/lib \
        
--with-sqlite3=/opt \
                
> build/aix/configure.out

Now that configure has finished 
(there is a makefile) I can use buildaix again (it skips the ./configure step if 
it sees a Makefile)

root@x104:[/data/prj/php-5.3.13]buildaix

Stop.

I hope this is not too lengthy - but 
I am anxious/curious about what I am doing wrong - that make continues to try to 
compile the embedded sqlite when it has an external one.

Michael,

 

    Here is the configure that I used:

 

./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs \
--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql \
--with-libxml-dir=/opt/freeware \
--with-zlib-dir=/opt/freeware

 

    Thanks.

started with php build. 1st real error is a syntax error in the embedded sqlite.

After building an external version of sqlite (3.6.22 was the last one I had downloaded, haven not looked for a new one) I am stopping for the night. Will keep posted.

Question: what are the minimum modules (e.g. gd, jpeg, etc. that need to be included. By default most of these are not
being found. my approach will be to get php tp compile with minimal arguments to ./configure and then add extra statements as needed.

forgot to mention: no have not tried to compile php against 2.4.x yet. Will setup a test machine soon to try.

I had tested httpd with xlCv7 and xlCv11 and gcc 4.6.2.

The important thing I noticed is that if you compile apr with gcc you must compile httpd with gcc as well, and v.v.
Noone noticed when they were "bundled" I expect.

I also have a buildaix.ksh for both apr and apr-util, but I do not know if those have made it into trunk yet. I can send them seperately if interested. With apr and apr-util separate the httpd config and build goes much faster.

Michael,

 

    I will try your buildaix.ksh script.  I have been using IBM's compiler (xlc, cc_r, cc).

 

    On related question, Have you successfully compiled PHP against Apache 2.4.2?  I have not.  I have tried PHP 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4 and all fail at some point.  Against Apache 2.2.x I have not problem compiling PHP.

 

    Cheers.

There are some "more recent" gcc builds for AIX available via: http://www.perzl.org/aix/index.php?n=Main.Gcc

Current versions:

• AIX5L V5.1: v4.5.3-2
• AIX5L V5.2: v4.6.3-2
• AIX5L V5.3: v4.6.3-2
• AIX V6.1: v4.6.3-2
• AIX V7.1: v4.6.3-2

RPM's being what they are - there are several packages that need to be installed as mentioned above.

And, I would be very interested in hearing what your experiences are if you use the buildaix.ksh script (in ./build/aix directory). The result is (is suppossed to be) an installp installable file in build/aix.

Regards,
Michael

can you share your gcc experience here in the wiki:
