|
Hi,
I was following another post that explained how to install the apxs module and to use commands to generate a template apache module. I am attempting to compile it using the instructions and this is occuring. Has this happened to anyone else?
C:\foo>apxs -i -c mod_foo.c
cl /nologo /MD /W3 /O2 /D WIN32 /D _WINDOWS /D NDEBUG -I"Z:\include" /c /Fomod_foo.lo mod_foo.
c
'cl' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
apxs:Error: Command failed with rc=65536
.
Thanks
Alex |

Run APSX from the Visual Studio console (vcvars32.bat) see if that helps.
cl.exe is the VC++ compiler/linker |

Hi,
I got it working after copying a great many files. But I am not sure why the following errors are cropping up when try to compile mod_echo.c
C:\>apxs -i -c C:\echo\mod_echo.c
cl /nologo /MD /W3 /O2 /D WIN32 /D _WINDOWS /D NDEBUG -I"Z:\include" /c /FoC:\echo\mod_echo.lo

I am compiling mod_echo with no changes to the code. all of the include files are in the directory. (I think) |

skip apsx ..
try:
change C:\Apache2 to where ever your installed Apache top directory is (not the source).
each one of these is a single line the BB is wrapping, so I have seperated single lines with a blank line
in the VC console cd to the module source.
| Code: | cd\httpd-2.2.11\modules\echo
cl /nologo /MD /W3 /O2 /D WIN32 /D _WINDOWS /D NDEBUG -I"C:\Apache22/include" /c /Fomod_echo.obj mod_echo.c
link kernel32.lib "C:\Apache22\lib\libhttpd.lib" "C:\Apache22\lib\libapr-1.lib" "C:\Apache22\lib\libaprutil-1.lib" /nologo /subsystem:windows /dll /machine:I386 /out:mod_echo.so mod_echo.obj
copy mod_echo.so c:\Apache2\modules
|
FYI:
The apr_x_x issues tell me that the APR library needs to be linked in. So, to save from tracking them down just throw both APR libraries at it, libapr-1.lib and libaprutil-1.lib. The ap_X_X tells me libhttpd library needs to be linked so we'll throw that at it as well.
Either APSX is failing at this or maybe you should have tried it from /httpd-2.2.11/modules/echo since you may not have copied all the files you needed, nor is it looking in the right place for them. Dunno .. I've not used apsx but once. |

|
|
That worked and I got a helloworld example to compile (mod_echo came back with link errors). Now Apache doesnt recognize that the module is there though. I am starring right at it. Its in the modules directory that all the other modules are in. I am using LoadModule Helloworld_Module modules/mod_helloworld.so . I set the permissions to list,read,read and execute for the folder and set read and execute on the .so file.
Apache is telling the event logger that it cant find the file. I rebooted to see if that helped and no dice. I would expect that if Apache just didnt like the file that it would complain about something better than not finding it.
I used the code from http://www.cb1inc.com/2007/12/24/creating-a-hello-world-apache-module-with-kdevelop-on-ubuntu because all the rest of the examples were overly complex.
Thanks

One would think but that is not the case
You say you got errors compiling mod_echo. I find that strange since I did not get any. However, you may not have cleaned up your prior attempts mess and it was grabbing onto on those files, which will cause error, don't know.
mod_echo I compiled before posting those instructions (took a couple tries to get it right) is here

| Does this need to be included in the preprocessor? Every single attempt to create a module results in Apache saying it is unable to find the module. |

but you did get hello world to compile and load, or it compiled but does not load?
What version of VC are you using.
Any SDK?
Where are source files coming from?
I'm having you use a prebuilt Apache for includes and libs, this might be a mistake if this Apache you did not compile (possible compiler version differences).
I compile my own so I tend to forget to think about the fact that you might not have. I can see room for problems trying to compile against ASF using VC++ > 6. I am also a VC6 junky so I forget about manefest's as well ..
if you see a manifest file
MT -manifest mod_echo.so.manifest -outputresource:mod_echo.so;2
my mod_echo was a VC6 version |

I got the hello world to compile but not load. I tried to compile mod_example, mod_echo, and mod_foo and I get all of them to compile with no errors! But apache does not like them. The mod_echo you sent does work though. Maybe I need duplicate your enviornment, but logically that makes no sense.
I am using VC++ 2008 Express
I am using Latest Windows SDK
I am using the source from Apache.org
I have VC++ 6. I am not sure if these factors play in, but: The link on apache.org to 2.2 source binaries for windows kept taking me to 404 on all mirrors, so I download 2.0 binary source, but the target is a 2.2 installation; I used VC++ 2000 Express; I am on a Windows 2K3 Server as target in a dedicated hosted enviornment; I have not attempted to compile on a local machine; I have three local boxes, but only one has VC 6 and its on W2K. |
