Re: ./confgure syntax to create static binary and eliminate "Shared" modules?

[Will Fatherley <wefatherley@xxxxxxxxx>]

A blunt but otherwise reasonable way to handle this situation is to run configure w/o any disable flags, and then just use the `a2dismod` command at some point after the config steps on the shared mods

I'm trying to learn how to compile Apache 2.4.41 to include all of my modules as static and not shared, but I'm having no success.

Here's my configure command:

./configure --disable-mod_alias --disable-mod_authn_file --disable-mod_authn_core --disable-mod_authz_host --disable-mod_autoindex --disable-mod_authz_groupfile --disable-mod_authz_user --disable-mod_authz_core --disable-mod_access_compat --disable-mod_auth_basic --disable-mod_reqtimeout --disable-mod_filter --disable-mod_env --disable-mod_headers --disable-mod_log_config --disable-mod_mime --disable-mod_setenvif --disable-mod_version --disable-mod_status --disable-mod_autoindex --disable-mod_dif --enable-so --enable-ssl --enable-ssl-staticlib-deps --enable-mods-static="alias authz_host autoindex deflate dir expires headers mime log_config log_debug log_forensic negotiation rewrite setenvif ssl" --with-ssl=/etc/ssl --with-included-apr --with-pcre=/usr/local/pcre/bin/pcre-config --with-expat=/usr/local/expat --with-mysqlalias

Which I follow by: # make && make install && make clean

The command: # /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl -t -D DUMP_MODULES

shows:

What am I missing? How do I eliminate all of the "Shared" modules (which I don't need) so I'm only left with "Static"?

Thank you,
