mod_perl make fails with unrecognized argument

Post #1 of 3 (2069 views)

Hi there,

Trying to build mod_perl (1.21) using apxs
(apache_1.3.11) on an HP workstation (HP-UX 10.20).

After successful execution of the following:

perl Makefile.PL \
USE_APXS=1 \
WITH_APXS="/opt/webpages/apache_1.3.11/bin/apxs" \
EVERYTHING=1

I issued the 'make' command. Things were progressing
nicely until I received the following error:

rm -f libperl.so
ld -b -L/usr/local/lib -o libperl.so
mod_perl.lo perlxsi.lo perl_config.lo perl_util.lo
perlio.lo mod_perl_opmask.lo Apache.lo Constants.lo
ModuleConfig.lo Log.lo URI.lo Util.lo Connection.lo
Server.lo File.lo Table.lo -Wl,-E -Wl,-B,deferred
-L/usr/local/lib
/opt/perl500503/lib/5.00503/PA-RISC1.1/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a
-L/opt/perl500503/lib/5.00503/PA-RISC1.1/CORE -lperl
-lnsl_s -lndbm -ldld -lm -lc -lndir -lcrypt
ld: Unrecognized argument: -Wl,-E
ld: Usage: ld flags... files...
*** Error exit code 1

Stop.
*** Error exit code

Checking the generated Makefile, the CCDLFLAGS are set
as follows:

CCDLFLAGS = -Wl,-E -Wl,-B,deferred

Assuming that removing the -Wl, -E flags will solve
this problem, the question is what file do I edit so
that the changes can take affect?
I tried to change the -Wl, -E flags from the generated
Makefile file (even though I know that was not the
appropriate file). I looked at the Makefile.PL file
but again could not find where to make the changes.

If removing the flags will not solve this issue, any
ideas what the problem might be?

Thanks,

Kosta

Coincidence! I was trying to do this yesterday.

What's happening is that "-Wl,-E -Wl,-B,deferred" are
arguments to the =compiler= telling if to pass the
options "-E -B deferred" to the =linker=. However in
the Makefile in the 'apaci' sub-directory, the
"-Wl,-E -Wl,-B,deferred" arguments are being used by
the linker (ld).

Go to the 'apaci' sub-directory, edit the Makefile
to change "-Wl,-E -Wl,-B,deferred" to "-E -B deferred"
and redo the make.

This will then probably put you in the same position
as me: getting

ld: Invalid loader fixup for symbol "$000000024".
(the number varies)

when trying to link libperl.so

Been there, seen that.

I got the "Invalid loader fixup" message, too. AFAIK it results
from a non-PIC (position independent code) compilation of the
perl library - sometimes HP-UX seems to need "+Z" to compile PIC,
which is often not included in autoconf makefiles. Maybe this
can help you to proceed.

In my case, however, even after I recompiled my perl lib with +Z, I got
loads of missing symbols on apache startup. Finally I gave up
and returned to a statically linked mod_perl, thinking (not for the
first time) about switching to Linux :)
