cross compiling apache-2.0.54 for arm
 

Dear ALL,
I am trying to cross compile apache-2.0.54 for ARM,I cannot configure it .I get error related to srclib/apr(apache portable runtime).so,I am cross compiling apr package.I am not able to configure it.

Can anyone,Please help me to solve the problem.

With Regards,
Keerti

Hello,

I have similar problem. I am trying to cross compile httpd-2.2.11 for ARM. Wish some experts here can help. Thanks!

I successfully compiled apr and apr-util. The following are my configurations for both.

For apr, compile in apr source directory

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apr --host=arm-unknown-linux-gnu ac_cv_file__dev_zero="yes" ac_cv_func_setpgrp_void="yes" apr_cv_process_shared_works="yes" apr_cv_mutex_robust_shared="no" apr_cv_tcp_nodelay_with_cork="yes" ac_cv_sizeof_struct_iovec="8" apr_cv_mutex_recursive="yes" CPPFLAGS=-I/tmp/usr/includ


For apr-util, compile in apr-util directory

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apr-util --host=arm-unknown-linux-gnu --with-apr=/usr/local/apr

After that, I try to compile the httpd-2.2.11. However I got a error related to void * pointer and long. The config for httpd-2.2.11 is

./configure --with-apr=/usr/local/apr --with-apr-util=/usr/local/apr-util/ --enable-ssl --host=arm-unknown-linux-gnu

The output is

I have the same error.
configure: error: Size of "void *" is less than size of "long"

How did you fixed that.

You have to specify the size of void * by hand. I added "ap_cv_void_ptr_lt_long=4" to my config options, e.g., "./config ap_cv_void_ptr_lt_long=4" Note that a long just happened to be 4 bytes for my target (powerpc) and it could be different for yours. Look for the following lines whiz by when running ./configure to find the right size:
