General Build Instructions
==========================
To build tomcat-connectors you need to run "configure" and "make":
./configure [autoconf arguments] [tomcat-connectors arguments]
make
It is possible to set CFLAGS and LDFLAGS to add some platform specifics:
LDFLAGS=-lc \
./configure -with-apxs=/home2/local/apache/bin/apxs
To find out about all available configure flags use
./configure --help
Build for the Apache HTTP Server
================================
If you want to build mod_jk for the Apache HTTP Server
you need to locate the apxs tool coming with the Apache
HTTP server. If apxs is located in /usr/sbin/apxs, run:
./configure --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs
make
The resulting module file mod_jk.so of mod_jk will be
located in the directory apache-2.0 (for any version
of Apache 2.x).
Simply copy the file to your web server modules or libexec
directory.
Apache related configure arguments for tomcat-connectors
--------------------------------------------------------
--with-apxs[=FILE]
FILE is the location of the apxs tool. Default is finding apxs in PATH.
It builds a shared Apache module. It detects automatically the Apache
version. (2.x and 1.3)
--with-apache=DIR
DIR is the path where apache sources are located.
The apache sources should have been configured before configuring mod_jk.
DIR is something like: /home/apache/apache_1.3.19
It builds a static Apache module.
--enable-EAPI
This parameter is needed when using Apache 1.3 and mod_ssl, otherwise you
will get the error message: "this module might crash under EAPI!" when
loading libjk.so in httpd.
Static build needs more tests, and we strongly recommend dynamic build
using DSO/APXS.
Misc Notes
==========
Build for Multiple Web Servers
------------------------------
If you want to build for multiple web servers, you need
to call "make clean" between the individual builds.
HP-UX build notes
-----------------
If you plan to use GCC on HP-UX to build mod_jk, be sure to
have -DHPUX11GCC defined (usually by setting CLAGS before configure)
Reports are that the stripped down cc version that ships with
HP-UX won't be able to work, you should have the HP add-on ANSI C
Compiler package.
A good repository for HP-UX gnu tools is:
http://gatekeep.cs.utah.edu/
Solaris build notes
-------------------
The build should work with the GNU gcc compiler, on both
SPARC and x86 architecture systems.
A good repository for Solaris gnu tools is:
http://www.sunfreeware.com/
Be carefull when mixing native compiler and gnu compiler, and
ensure that apache and mod_jk will be compiled and linked with
the same tools (i.e. full Solaris or full GNU)
Building from the subversion tree
=================================
This is only necessary if you want to build a not yet
released versions. When using a subversion tree,
"buildconf.sh" must be run before configure. This script uses
the auto tools to provide the following files:
- libtool files in scripts/build/unix (should copy them?)
- Makefile.in from Makefile.am
- aclocal.m4 from different m4 files located on the local machine
- configure from configure.ac and aclocal.m4
buildconf.sh is known to work with libtool 1.5.2, automake 1.10
and autoconf 2.59 or newer. The use of more recent versions is
strongly encouraged, e.g. for reliable detection of the
features of recent version of operating systems (e.g. AIX 6.1).
The script is run without arguments:
./buildconf.sh
If you see error messages from automake, don't care about them.
After running buildconf you can build as usual using configure
and make.
