Ooops! You’re correct about entering the correct command into the Terminal. Only now do I realize I was entering it the wrong way: I was entering the CFLAGS=”-arch x86_64″ and the remaining ./configure -enable-layout ….. -enable-suexec section separately, because I thought CFLAGS variable was already saved and then it can be used within the ./configure but somehow it wasn’t.

For configure to use the CFLAGS variable, it must have been ***absolutely*** entered at the same command line, not seperately. I really didn’t know that.

Now everything works fine in 64bits. That’s very fine and it made my sending the log eMail kind of unnecessary.

That’s been very helpful, thanks!

Can you mail me with the full copy of your Terminal session and config.log to info at this domain?

first guess is that something went wring while copy and pasting the command from the browser to the Terminal.

I’ve been trying to configure & compile httpd but appearantly there’s one problem:

CFLAGS (and/or CXXFLAGS) don’t get passed to ./configure

I tried it with both bash and tcsh, still no change,

CFLAGS=”-arch ppc64″ is not to be found in configure script, I see that under config.status or after I make && make installed, in the resulting binary (file /usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd)

What’s wrong I wonder.

It appears to have been strange characters in the config.layout copied from the site. Using ‘Zap Gremlins’ in BBEdit to clean it up and then pasting that into the files in place of what I’d put in before cleared up the mistakes.

@DavidM, something is wrong with your setup. Configure should not have these errors. I’m assuming you did install XCode. Try to download apache again and start from scratch with a new source… Could be a type or strange characters in any config.layout.

configuring package in srclib/apr now
configure: error: expected an absolute directory name for –bindir: NONE/bin
configure failed for srclib/apr

This would be the point at which I then started specifying directories in the configuration statement, to get things to build.

@Richard, This is for a Leopard machine. I have not upgraded to Snow Leopard. I admit, I did change the Layout to put everything under /Library/Apache2, but that was the only change and should not (theoretically) have made this installation bomb like this. The only reason I was using libdir and bindir and other settings was because Make would not complete without them. Nevertheless, I will go back and use your default config.layout pieces and see if it will complete properly there where it will not in /Library/Apache2. More information to follow when I have it.

@DavidM, not sure what you are trying to do with the bindir and libdir settings, these instructions only work if you follow the layout as described and not for any other configurations you might want to accomplish. Also note that this only works for Leopard, there is another setup described on this site for Snow Leopard

I am working on this, compiling mysql, postresql, apache and php from scratch for a server. With just a little work I was able to get mysql finished. With Apache, I ran into several problems. The first required that I specify –bindir, –libdir, etc., in the config command line or it refused to compile. In addition, the evaluation of the config.layout files for the apr and apr-util refused to accept the ${prefix} variables and required these to be specified as whole paths rather than assembled. Having jumped through all of those hoops I am at ‘sudo make install’. But I seem to have some errors.

I’m honestly not sure where to go from here. Anyone with any thoughts would be appreciated.
