| OS Specific notes for building/compiling Apache |
| |
| ------------- |
| Introduction: |
| ------------- |
| Apache has been ported to a wide variety of platforms, from multiple |
| UNIX variants to OS/2 to Windows95/NT. In building and/or compiling |
| Apache on some platforms, there are some hints and notes which may |
| help you if you run into problems. |
| |
| ----- |
| A/UX: |
| ----- |
| Don't even try with cc. Instead, use gcc-2.7.2 and the libUTIL.a |
| function library, both of which are available on jagubox.gsfc.nasa.gov. |
| libUTIL.a includes many basic functions that Apache (and other software) |
| requires as well as fixed versions of functions in libc.a. Contact |
| Jim Jagielski (jim@apache.org) if you need a precompiled build for |
| A/UX 3.1.x. |
| |
| ----- |
| AIX: |
| ----- |
| If you compiled Apache on AIX (any version) using the xlC compiler |
| version 3.6.X and you receive an error such as the following when |
| trying to start Apache: |
| |
| "Expected </Directory> but saw </Directory>" |
| or |
| "Expected </Files> but saw </Files>" |
| |
| then you have encountered a bug in xlC. This is a problem with the |
| 3.6.X versions of xlC, and is not a problem with the Apache code. |
| You need to update your xlC compiler and rebuild the server. A |
| set of PTFs which correct the problem is available from: |
| http://techsupport.services.ibm.com/rs6k/fixdb.html |
| The PTFs are: U462005, U462006, U462007, and U462023 through |
| U462030. The PTFs have been tested and do indeed fix the problem. |
