build 32 bit httpd on 64 bit RHEL

[galaft wang <galaft@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

I am compiling 32 bit httpd on 64 bit RHEL with following command:

 

# ./configure CFLAGS=-m32 CXXFLAGS=-m32 FFLAGS=-m32 FCFLAGS=-m32 --prefix=/root/j131/testhttpd/apache-32bit

 

But make failed with following error message:

 

# make
Making all in srclib
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/j131/testhttpd/httpd-2.0.52-32/httpd-2.0.52/srclib'

It seems ld configure is not OK, so I added LDFLAGS=-melf_i386  for apache configure, but it doesnt work:

 

# ./configure CFLAGS=-m32 CXXFLAGS=-m32 FFLAGS=-m32 FCFLAGS=-m32 LDFLAGS=-melf_i386 --prefix=/root/j131/testhttpd/apache-32bit

Is there any standard method to make 32-bit apache in 64-bit linux?

 

Any help is welcomed, thanks!
