Re: apache 2.2.7 bit level info (Apache Users)

In addition, it is also useful to add "-xarch=native and -xcode=pic32" to CFLAGS

-xcode=pic32 helps linking with .so libraries which are not solaris-savvy (the equivalent of linux's -G / -fPIC)

-xarch=native will optimise the code for the same machine it is compiling on (good if all your machines are all the same hardware / cpu type.. otherwise don't use it)

It is also useful to add :

"-L<prefix where my libs are>/lib and -R<prefix where my libs are>/lib" to LDFLAGS

And keep in mind you cannot link 32 bit libraries and 64 bit libraries, so -f you use -m64 then you need all 64 bit compiled third party libraries, it will ignore 32 bit libraries, exactly like they don't exist.

The Solaris linker has no particular defaults (it ignores /usr/local/lib in particular), so unless you can change the library search path for the whole machine, the -R is pretty much required to find your libs.

The Solaris versions of libraries which apache depends on, are very old and will conflict with building newer software, so best to roll your own libs, or stick with more modern versions from sunfreeware

Try:

export CFLAGS="-m64"
export LDFLAGS="-m64"

And then do normal compilation.

You will need 64 bit versions of all dependencies, of course.
