APACHE Compiling Modules (DSO)

Compiling Modules (DSO)

Quick Compile

1. Compile all modules.

   find . -name '*.c' -exec gcc -fpic -DSHARED_MODULE -I/<path to apache include directory>/include -c {} \;

Long Compile

1. Compile each module individually.

   gcc -fpic -DSHARED_MODULE -I/usr/local/apache2/include -c <module>.c

Linking Modules (DSO)

1. Link the object code to a shareable module.

   # ld -Bshareable -o <module>.so <module>.o

2. Copy the module to the live path of Apache.

   # cp mod_foo.so /path/to/apache/modules/<module>.so

3. Change the permissions of the module.

   # chmod 755 /path/to/apache/modules/<module>.so
