From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040805 Firefox/0.9.3 Description of problem: During the apache compilation, a header file is generated in BUILD/httpd-2.0.46/prefork/server called test_char.h. mod_auth_mda uses this header file and compilation of this module will fail because of this missing header file. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): httpd-devel-2.0.46-38.ent How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install httpd and httpd-devel 2. download, unpack mod_auth_mda (mod-apache2.tar) from http://www.frogdot.org. 3. adjust makefile for includes, do a "make module" in the dist directory. Actual Results: Compile fails: /usr/sbin/apxs -c -Wc,-Wall -I/usr/include/httpd/../main -I/home/hwr/dev/apache/httpd-2.0.48/server mod_auth_mda.c /usr/bin/libtool --silent --mode=compile gcc -prefer-pic -O2 -g -pipe -march=i386 -mcpu=i686 -DSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_ENGINE -I/usr/kerberos/include -DAP_HAVE_DESIGNATED_INITIALIZER -DLINUX=2 -D_REENTRANT -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 -D_BSD_SOURCE -D_SVID_SOURCE -D_GNU_SOURCE -pthread -I/usr/include/httpd -Wall -I/usr/include/httpd/../main -I/home/hwr/dev/apache/httpd-2.0.48/server -c -o mod_auth_mda.lo mod_auth_mda.c && touch mod_auth_mda.slo mod_auth_mda.c:24:23: test_char.h: No such file or directory mod_auth_mda.c: In function `escape_str': mod_auth_mda.c:289: `test_char_table' undeclared (first use in this function) mod_auth_mda.c:289: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once mod_auth_mda.c:289: for each function it appears in.) mod_auth_mda.c:289: `T_ESCAPE_PATH_SEGMENT' undeclared (first use in this function) Expected Results: Clean compile. Additional info: a. Workaround: 1. Download src package, run rpmbuild to %build stage. 2. Adjust paths in Makefile of mod_auth_mda 3. run make module b. Possible resaon for not including the header file: the needed functionality is in a call of the apache API. I was not able to research this.
Thanks for the report. Indeed, as you suggest, the test_char.h header is not a part of the Apache httpd module API (it is not installed by "make install"). A solution to this problem is for the mod_auth_mda package to include a copy of the gen_test_char.c source, and to generate the header for itself. Can you take this issue up with the mod_auth_mda author?
Thanks for the ultra quick reply. I've already contacted the author. He didn't answer yet, but it seems he works always with the sources and builds from them.
