Building mod_perl2 on Leopard

[Hendrik Van Belleghem]

Hi,

I was one of those many people lining up to get Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5). It comes with Apache2 but not with mod_perl2.. I got into some problems getting it to compile properly. I've described quite a bit of the process on my blog but this is the short version (YMMV):

   export ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64"

Compile/install as usual

The platform should be indicate as image type by looking at the signature

file /usr/libexec/apache2/mod_perl.so

This worked on my intel based macbook..

Some more details on the fix:

Slightly off-topic:

        The 10.2 10.3 and maybe 10.4 versions of Apache that came with OS X  
had library conflicts with mysql/php if you tried to compile modperl  
1 or 2

        Can I interpret your post to mean that one does not have to rebuild  
Apache2 now too?

Hi,

To be honest, I haven't been able to get DBD::mysql compiled, nor Apache2::Request (properly - still some strange errors in the apache2 error log when I try to load it).
I haven't fully tested the Apache2 (or mod_perl for that matter). I'm not building it with PHP but it does appear to come with leopard, as does mysql.
Some threads discuss installing DBD::mysql on leopard (occasionally suggesting older versions of the module). Should I post some build output? :)

I'm curious- Why have you opted for using the stock Apache2 install?

By habit I always build from source and toss in /usr/local/apache2--  
Apple doesn't really maintain those apps after initial release.

I usually install libapreq through the c configure, not perl  
wrapper.  i've had better luck

        ./configure --with-expat=/usr/local/apr  --with-apache2-apxs=/usr/
local/apache2/bin/apxs --enable-perl-glue
        make
        make test
        make install

Actually, I'm still using the default Apache2.. I did built mod_perl2 from scratch. One of my fellow perl mongers installed Leopard before I did and mentioned that he couldn't find mod_perl2 on it.. I just assumed that it wasn't there so I rebuilt :)

Any ideas about the architecture signature in the original Leopard mod_perl.so? And why some seem to have an earlier built?
