I am getting the following error when I make, and I have no idea how to fix this.

@Mark, are you sure your Mac support 64 bits? It should say so in the output of “httpd -V”

i am going with the darwin option, where would I paste “CFLAGS=

I’m sorry you don’t if you want to use the Darwin layout you need to change:

./configure

ok so with it changed to “Darwin” where within the document would I paste the “CFLAGS” portion?

thanks

There are no CFLAGS in the config.layout file. You need to enter those commands in a Terminal session while in the source directory.

In your config code block above you are using the coded character 8211 rather than just the minus sign for the config flags. (Perhaps this is from pasting from some word processor?)

This makes it rather difficult to cut and paste. Was this intentional?

@Dan, Sorry about this. It’s Wordpress which occasionally has some strange behaviour. I’ve corrected it.

Hi Richard,

I switched to source of httpd, changed the layout file and when I tried to give the command I got following error.

macs-mac-mini:~ mac$ cd /Users/mac/Desktop/httpd-2.2.12
macs-mac-mini:httpd-2.2.12 mac$ CFLAGS=”-arch x86_64″ \
> ./configure -enable-layout=DIYMacServer \
> -enable-mods-shared=all \
> -with-ssl=/usr \
> -with-mpm=prefork \
> -disable-unique-id \
> -enable-ssl \
> -enable-dav \
> -enable-cache \
> -enable-proxy \
> -enable-logio \
> -enable-deflate \

> -enable-cgi \
> -enable-cgid \
> -enable-suexec
-bash: x86_64″: command not found
macs-mac-mini:httpd-2.2.12 mac$

Does this make any sense ?

Yes, this was a left over error of the problems that we had with Wordpress. Quotes and dashes where not represented as they needed to be. There were different quotes and dashes in the code. It is corrected now and you can try it again! Sorry about this…

Hi Richard,

Probably something stupid. But I amended the config_layout file with DIYMacServer but I got following errors.

checking for chosen layout… DIYMacServer

Thanks for any help

Hey Luc,

I ran into the same error. It appears that there are three config.layout files (1 in srclib/apr, and 1 in srclib/apr-utl) and I bet they all need to be appended with the DIYMacServer layout information. I’ll try it tonight. Hope this helps.

David

Hey Luc,

Yes, that fixed it. When I added the DIYMacServer layout info to the 2 additional config.layout files, the configuration worked.

Cheers,
David

Hi David, thanks for the update. I found the same answer with Luc offsite. I asked for a proper solution on the apache user mailinglist, but no answer. There is even an old bug which is still open which addresses this issue: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23167

Hi Richard,

As proposed I started back from scratch. So far everything OK. I just was wondering before compiling in 64bit of the DIYMACSERVER layout.
Is it correct that this has prefix usr/local/apache2 and the other /usr ? Just for confirmation as you mentionned that the DIY version is the one that doesn’t overwrite the original version.

Luc

Yes, but also the sysconfigdir and the logfile location are different.

Hi Richard,

When I compared the 3 files in the original source directory they contain different fields. Shouldn’t the 3 files also be different ?
This is maybe the source of problem as i copied the first changed config.layout to the other locations also. I also verified the creation time of those files and 2 are matching and the third is different

Luc

For all us old-timers with PowerPC Macs (G3, G4 & G5) Richard suggests using:

CFLAGS=”-arch ppc64″ \

instead of

CFLAGS=”-arch x86_64″ \

I have compiling errors as below:

ld: symbol(s) not found
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [httpd] Error 1
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

That I could solve changing option:

-enable-mods-shared=all

to

-enable-mods-shared=most

Maybe it’s an useful hint to somebody.

[...] went ahead and compiled  Apache from scratch. It’s easy enough and you’ll need the 64bit support for PHP. MySQL was much easier [...]
