[mod-security-users] using libtool for Apache 2 mod_security installation

[Jeff G. <jg...@ad...>]

Hi, 

   I'm trying to get mod_security compiled into my Apache 2.

   The notes say to cp mod_security.c to the modules/mappers/ directory and
edit the modules.mk file, but the compiler make utility complains saying "no
rule to make target modules/mappers/mod_security_la"

   I did some reading and learned about the libtool utility (to some
extent).

   I was able to figure out how to create the .o and .lo files, but I'm not
sure about the process to create the .la file. Could you please post the
syntax for this. What confuses me the most is what to put for the -rpath
option.

  Thank you.

 

Jeff

   Statically, I assume? Because compiling it as a dynamic module
   is very easy :)

   I don't know how to use libtool either. In fact, I know less about it
   than you do. Because of that I keep mod_security in a single file and
   it is very easy to compile and install.

   No one has really explained how to statically compile a module, what
   I described in the manual is a hack.

Hi Ivan,
  I did happen to figure out that there's no point in doing it statically
and went ahead and used the dso method. Thanks
Jeff
