Topic: 2.4.37 issue with make command on AIX

[zaphonic]

Hello everyone, I've been asked to install Apache 2.4.37 for a current application running on AIX 7.1.4

I've installed apache here
/opt/freeware/etc/httpd/conf/
Gcc here
/opt/freeware/lib/gcc-lib/gcc-7.3.0
Pcre here
/usr/local/pcre

Run this command at /opt/freeware/etc/httpd/conf/

./configure --with-included-apr --with-included-apr-util --with-pcre=/usr/local/pcre/pcre-config

This is the summary
configure: summary of build options:

Server Version: 2.4.37
Install prefix: /usr/local/apache2
C compiler: gcc
CFLAGS: -g -O2 -pthread
CPPFLAGS: -U__STR__ -D_THREAD_SAFE -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE
LDFLAGS: -Wl,-brtl
LIBS:
C preprocessor: gcc -E

When I run the make command it runs for about 5 minutes and then hit this problem

The file where it should creatte apu.h is in the area
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 4575 Jan 30 11:13 apu.h.in
/opt/freeware/etc/httpd/conf/httpd-2.4.37/include#

It seems the make command can't read the file to create apu.h and I'm very stuck!!!!!

I id speak to Northgate who gave me some instruction which are vague about to install apache but they don't have any AIX experience and therefore can't or won't help and IBM won't help because its freeware.

Maybe you can grab an idea from this script
