Hello,
Has anyone successfully cross-compiled Apache 2.2.3 and PHP 5.1.6 for any platform?
The Apache eXtenSion tool (apxs) as a PERL script is platform independent, but it relies on executing httpd, which having been cross-compiled, can't be executed natively.
The problem first appears when configuring PHP. When you pass the --with-apxs2= option on the ./configure line, it runs apxs, which fails to execute httpd. Since apxs is built dynamically and most build information is found in the ./build directory, why does it need to execute httpd?
How can apxs become truly platform independent, so it can run successfully in a cross-compiled environment?
I've also entered this in Bugzilla (http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=40653) for tracking purposes.
Thanks,
Larry Stefani
