Re: Inquiry about apache httpd compile option

[(대학원생) 양성현 (컴퓨터공학과) <sunghyun@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I appreciate you for your response.

I think some different build commands can make different binary files. 

For example, I think that command "./configure" and command "./configure --enable-so --enable-ssl" can make each binary file which has different functionality.

However, when I see these binary files' bitcode files(e.g., httpd.bc), I can not find their difference.

So, I want to know whether apache httpd always supports same binary file(named httpd) regardless of compile options and whether configuration options of apache httpd are always determined by configuration files(e.g., httpd.conf).

What is the problem you are trying to solve here with those compile options?

Hello,

First of all, thank you for reading this mail.

I send an email to this address to ask three questions about apache httpd compilation.

First, I am curious whether it is possible to know the compile option by only using httpd binary file.

I tried to compare the compile options between Bitnami and Drupal which are the containers using apache httpd server.

I could find the compile option of Bitnami from config.nice file in Bitnami's container.

However, I could not see any information of Drupal's compile option in Drupal's container.

So, I am curious whether it is possible to find the compile option of apache httpd by only using httpd binary file or apache2 binary file.

Second, does configure option(e.g., --enable-ssl --enable-so) which is used to build the apache httpd affect the httpd binary file?

I think that if the configure option is different, the httpd binary file is also different.

However, when I compiled the httpd program with two options (one command is "./configure" and the other is "./configure --enable-ssl --enable-so") and llvm, I could get the same bitcode files from two different options.

So, I am curious whether the configure option affects building apache httpd. If it does not affect, I also want to know whether apache httpd only uses same httpd binary file and supports some functions by only using configuration file (e.g, httpd.conf).

Lastly, may I know the compile option of httpd or apache2 which they can be installed using commands (e.g, apt install apache2)?

I am not sure whether asking these questions to this mail is right. If it is not right, may I know where should I ask about these questions?

I appreciate you for reading this email.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
