#91 Perl5.10 FC9 speedy_perl.c compile error

[Anonymous]

Compiling SpeedyCGI 2.22 on Fedora Core 9 with perl 5.10.0 stop reporting errors compiling speedy_perl.c:
[root@travweb2 CGI-SpeedyCGI-2.22]# perl Makefile.PL

Optional mod_speedycgi support.

Mod_speedycgi increases performance under Apache by avoiding the fork/exec
overhead associated with each request under normal SpeedyCGI. However, it
requires a working copy of "apxs" in your path, Apache with mod_so
support, and additional Apache configuration.

Compile mod_speedycgi (default no)?

I get the same problem. Solaris 8 using self-compiled perl 5.10.0:

user@admin:/admin/src/builds/perl-modules/CGI-SpeedyCGI/CGI-SpeedyCGI-2.22$ /opt/perl/bin/perl Makefile.PL

Optional mod_speedycgi support.

Mod_speedycgi increases performance under Apache by avoiding the fork/exec
overhead associated with each request under normal SpeedyCGI. However, it
requires a working copy of "apxs" in your path, Apache with mod_so

Hope this helps someone:

/src/speedy_backend_main.h:

-#define speedy_new(s,n,t) New(123,s,n,t)
+#define speedy_new(s,n,t) Newx(s,n,t)
