So hello, stepping back a bit, I decided to look which gcc I'm using. It seems it's one in /usr/sfw/bin (Sun Freeware), and it is gcc 3.4.3 (relatively old, it seems). So I looked what gcc packages are installed on the system (pkg list | grep gcc) and somehow the wrapper package gcc-48 is installed, but the binaries aren't (packages gcc-c-48 and gcc-common-48). So I install the newer gcc (pkg install gcc-c-48) and voila, now I have a gcc 4.8.2 waiting for me, which I hope is better and will recognize the -R command... I recompile OpenSSL 1.0.2g via the same commands. I then reextract my httpd archive and reconfigure using the same commands: APACHEDIR=/moodle/apache2/2.4.18 \ OPENSSLDIR=/moodle/openssl/1.0.2g \ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$OPENSSLDIR/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH \ ; \ ./configure --prefix=$APACHEDIR \ --enable-rewrite --enable-so --enable-dav --enable-deflate \ --enable-authnz-ldap --enable-ldap --with-ldap \ --enable-ssl --with-ssl=$OPENSSLDIR \ --disable-version \ --with-pcre --with-mpm=prefork --enable-nonportable-atomics=yes --with-included-apr --with-crypto \ CPPFLAGS="-I$OPENSSLDIR/include" \ LDFLAGS="-L$OPENSSLDIR/lib -R $OPENSSLDIR/lib" \ >apache-2418-configure.out 2>&1 Then I use my new shiny command to remove the global_symbol_pipe bug in the libtool script: LIBTOOL=/moodle/installers/httpd-2.4.18/srclib/apr/libtool; sed '/export_symbols_cmds.*global_symbol_pipe/s/ | \\\$global_symbol_pipe//' <$LIBTOOL >libtool.tmp; mv libtool.tmp $LIBTOOL and try to build httpd (gmake). It builds until here: Making all in unix gmake[2]: Entering directory `/basedir/installers/httpd-2.4.18/os/unix' gmake[3]: Entering directory `/basedir/installers/httpd-2.4.18/os/unix' /basedir/installers/httpd-2.4.18/srclib/apr/libtool --silent --mode=compile gcc -std=gnu99 -g -O2 -DSOLARIS2=11 -D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS -D_REENTRANT -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -I/basedir/openssl/1.0.2g/include -I. -I/basedir/installers/httpd-2.4.18/os/unix -I/basedir/installers/httpd-2.4.18/include -I/basedir/installers/httpd-2.4.18/srclib/apr/include -I/basedir/installers/httpd-2.4.18/srclib/apr-util/include -I/usr/include/pcre -I/basedir/installers/httpd-2.4.18/modules/aaa -I/basedir/installers/httpd-2.4.18/modules/cache -I/basedir/installers/httpd-2.4.18/modules/core -I/basedir/installers/httpd-2.4.18/modules/database -I/basedir/installers/httpd-2.4.18/modules/filters -I/basedir/installers/httpd-2.4.18/modules/ldap -I/basedir/installers/httpd-2.4.18/modules/loggers -I/basedir/installers/httpd-2.4.18/modules/lua -I/basedir/installers/httpd-2.4.18/modules/proxy -I/basedir/installers/httpd-2.4.18/modules/session -I/basedir/installers/httpd-2.4.18/modules/ssl -I/basedir/installers/httpd-2.4.18/modules/test -I/basedir/installers/httpd-2.4.18/server -I/basedir/installers/httpd-2.4.18/modules/arch/unix -I/basedir/installers/httpd-2.4.18/modules/dav/main -I/basedir/installers/httpd-2.4.18/modules/generators -I/basedir/installers/httpd-2.4.18/modules/mappers -prefer-non-pic -static -c unixd.c && touch unixd.lo /bin/sh[1]: /basedir/installers/httpd-2.4.18/srclib/apr/libtool: cannot execute [Permission denied] gmake[3]: *** [unixd.lo] Error 126 gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/basedir/installers/httpd-2.4.18/os/unix' gmake[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/basedir/installers/httpd-2.4.18/os/unix' gmake[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/basedir/installers/httpd-2.4.18/os' gmake: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 I don't know why, but this line doesn't use /bin/sh . I'm doing all this as root, so I don't know why "Permission denied" is thrown. Any thoughts? @dferradal: I used -R for gcc so that the httpd and the modules know where to look for the OpenSSL library. It seems no one else knows about this option or else somehow misses it when I write it. Or do you mean I shouldn't do both (-R and tell the openssl folder to configure)?

However, I'm not sure which linker we used to use. If ldd claims it's picking up the correct libraries, I'd assume it should work at runtime as well. In case there's any doubt, lsof may show which libraries are actually used. rainer --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
