Hi!

I'm trying to learn about custom plug-in on Apache, so I searched for some info. Then, I tried to make my first C program, but I'm having some errors while compiling...

Quote:

C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\ccnz6AP9.o custom-handler.c:(.text+0x29): undefined reference to `__imp_ap_rwrite'
C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\ccnz6AP9.o custom-handler.c:(.text+0x5c): undefined reference to `__imp_ap_hook_handler'
C:\Users\user\Desktop\collect2.exe [Error] ld returned 1 exit status


So, the compiler options are:

Quote:

- C Compiler: C:\Program Files (x86)\Dev-Cpp\MinGW64\bin\gcc.exe
- Command: gcc.exe "C:\Users\user\Desktop\custom-handler.c" -o "C:\Users\user\Desktop\custom-handler.exe" -I"C:\Program Files (x86)\Dev-Cpp\MinGW64\include" -I"C:\Program Files (x86)\Dev-Cpp\MinGW64\x86_64-w64-mingw32\include" -I"C:\Program Files (x86)\Dev-Cpp\MinGW64\lib\gcc\x86_64-w64-mingw32\4.9.2\include" -I"C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.23\include" -I"C:\Program Files (x86)\Dev-Cpp\MinGW64\lib" -L"C:\Program Files (x86)\Dev-Cpp\MinGW64\lib" -L"C:\Program Files (x86)\Dev-Cpp\MinGW64\x86_64-w64-mingw32\lib" -L"C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.23\include" -L"C:\Program Files (x86)\Dev-Cpp\MinGW64\lib" -static-libgcc -shared -fpic


I know there is a little messup with libraries, but that's because I was trying different ways to solve my problem...

And finaly, my code:

Code:

/* Include the required headers from httpd */
#include <httpd.h>
#include <http_config.h>
#include <http_protocol.h>
#include <ap_config.h>
#include <http_core.h>
#include <http_request.h>

/* Define prototypes of our functions in this module */
static void register_hooks(apr_pool_t *pool);
static int custom_handler(request_rec *r);

/* Define our module as an entity and assign a function for registering hooks  */
module AP_MODULE_DECLARE_DATA   example_module =
{
    STANDARD20_MODULE_STUFF,
    NULL,            // Per-directory configuration handler
    NULL,            // Merge handler for per-directory configurations
    NULL,            // Per-server configuration handler
    NULL,            // Merge handler for per-server configurations
    NULL,            // Any directives we may have for httpd
    register_hooks   // Our hook registering function
};

/* register_hooks: Adds a hook to the httpd process */
static void register_hooks(apr_pool_t *pool){
    /* Hook the request handler */
    ap_hook_handler(custom_handler, NULL, NULL, APR_HOOK_LAST);
}

/* The handler function for our module.
 * This is where all the fun happens!
 */

static int custom_handler(request_rec *r){
    /* First off, we need to check if this is a call for the "example" handler.
     * If it is, we accept it and do our things, it not, we simply return DECLINED,
     * and Apache will try somewhere else.
     */
    if (!r->handler || strcmp(r->handler, "custom-handler")) return (DECLINED);
   
    // The first thing we will do is write a simple "Hello, world!" back to the client.
    ap_rputs("Hello, world!<br/>", r);
    return OK;
}


I know the main code needs a header before printing anything (I was just trying to compile at this point).

Can anyone help me a bit, please? :D Any other information you will need just say it and I'll give it...

Thank you!!

I've never used gcc but

-I"C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.23\include" correct
-L"C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.23\include" incorrect, try
-L"C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.23\lib"

You need to link to libhttpd.lib (where the ap_* functions are) and you may also need libapr-1.lib and maybe even libaprutil-1.lib. All are located in Apache's /lib folder.

Just added lib and same error. As I was trying, I reinstalled Apache and when compiling again an error prompted (I forgot it happened) saying that "include ap_config_auto.h cannot be found (on ap_config line 138).

Also a warning saying strcasecmp and strncasecmp are redefined... (apr_general line 117 - 127). The solution I found was commenting that parts, but maybe that caused my actual problem?

And just one thought: dev-cpp comes with more compilers than gcc, is recommended to use any other?

That is a private header not included in C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.23\include but would have to be obtained by downloading Apache's source distribution. BUT, it actually is not needed as I built it from just what is included in a Apache binary distribution.

If that actually allowed it to compile, the resulting module would never work in the server.

While it can be built with MinGW and msys or cygwin, that Apache at C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.23 was built with Visuall C++ 2015 also known as VC14.

I have built it with both VC11 & 14, x86 & x64 without warnings or errors at https://www.apachehaus.net/build/mod_example_build.zip

Built using the VC command prompts and the commands in the !buildme.txt file also included in the above zip.
