I'm having a hard time compiling Apache 2.4.2 in Solaris 10 in a x86 machine (64bits)

I installed all the required programs without problems, but when configuring (or doing make) with apache it explode.

I don't know if the problem is the env vairables. I don't know which one is failing -if this was the case-.

Here is a mini script (ran it with: source script) to illustrate what I'm doing (Notice that I install everything in /opt using the prefix flag):

#!/bin/sh

#Set ENV variables
export LDFLAGS=" -L/usr/sfw/lib -R/usr/sfw/lib -L/usr/X/lib -R/usr/X/lib -L/usr/X11/lib -R/usr/X11/lib -L/usr/ccs/lib -R/usr/ccs/lib "
export PATH=/usr/ccs/bin/amd64/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sfw/bin:/usr/sfw/sbin
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:/usr/sfw/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH_64=/usr/lib/64:/usr/sfw/lib/64

export CFLAGS=-m64 -O3
export CPP_FLAGS=-m64 -O3
export CC=cc

#Install OPENSSL
cd /opt/build_src/source_apache_openssl/openssl-1.0.1c
./config --prefix=/opt/openssl-1.0.1c thread shared solaris64-gcc -m32
gmake clean
gmake
gmake install

#Install ARP
cd /opt/build_src/source_apache_openssl/apr-1.4.6
./configure --prefix=/opt/apr-1.4.6 --with-gnu-ld --enable-threads
gmake clean
gmake
gmake install

#Install ARP-UTIL
cd /opt/build_src/source_apache_openssl/apr-util-1.4.1
./configure --prefix=/opt/apr-util-1.4.1 --with-openssl=/opt/openssl-1.0.1c --with-apr=/opt/apr-1.4.6 --with-crypto --enable-threads 
gmake clean
gmake
gmake install

#Instalamos Apache
cd /opt/build_src/source_apache_openssl/httpd-2.4.2   ---- IT FAILS!!!

Please, note the env variables. are they OK???

Here is what I get as an error, when configuring (./configure ... ) Apache: .... checking build system type... i386-pc-solaris2.10 checking host system type... i386-pc-solaris2.10 checking target system type... i386-pc-solaris2.10

configure: error: in `/opt/build_src/source_apache_openssl/httpd-2.4.2':  (!!!!!)
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables     (!!!!!)
See `config.log' for more details

The config.log doesn't say anything relevant -at last for me-, it just list the env variables setted -hundreds!-.

Nevertheless, if i do 'gmake' with that error I get:

Undefined                       first referenced

gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/build_src/source_apache_openssl/httpd-2.4.2/support'
gmake: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

EDIT: After following the suggestion of twalberg, I compiled it with GCC and NOT with cc, but now I'm getting this error doing the gmake:

...
ld: fatal: file ab.o: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32
ld: fatal: file processing errors. No output written to ab

-----other times I get-----
ld: fatal: file /opt/pcre-8.30/lib/libpcre.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32
ld: fatal: file processing errors. No output written to httpd
NOTE: I installed prce with (and without) the path to PATH=/usr/sfw/lib/64

  • The problem is you're using Solaris. – Jonathon Reinhart Jul 18 '12 at 19:35
  • It should be possible to compile it in Solaris, and well, I'm not a Solaris fan, but where I work is Solaris only :/ –  Jul 18 '12 at 19:39

    You might need to use `gcc`, though, not `cc`... – twalberg Jul 18 '12 at 19:42
  • @twalberg thanks. With GCC at least it pass the ./configure, but now I'm getting new errors in **gmake** –  Jul 18 '12 at 19:55
  • Looks like you're mixing 32-bit and 64-bit compiles somehow. That's not generally going to work out. In this case, `ab.o` is 32-bit, but the other stuff it's being linked to is 64-bit. – twalberg Jul 18 '12 at 20:01
  • what could I do to solve this??? Years back -many years-, somebody installed apache 2.X.X here, in the x86-64. Maybe is a tweak of this version of apache?? any possible solution in your experience??, pelase –  Jul 18 '12 at 20:04

Thank you twalberg, you gave light in this.

I had to compile everything with the -m64 flag.

I will put the mini-script I used. I hope that, if others have a similar problem, this could help you:

#!/bin/sh
