a clearer instruction for installing apache and tomcat in solaris

[spyghost]

hi,

i've been struggling on installing apache in solaris 9 (both in x86 and sparc). the website offers only the source downloads for unix in

http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi,

resulting to the usual configure, make and make install sequences.

i did these in linux's and all went well... except for solaris.

is there a more detailed procedure i.e. "software requirements (gcc, make, etc)" out there?

i always get this error message after ./configure:
Command failed for target 'all-recursive'

i get these 3x...

as for tomcat, i can't issue the autoconf in the jsvc-src... has anyone ever made this with solaris?

thanks...

Do you have autoconf installed? I'm assuming you're going to need gcc, too.

 

[spyghost]

yes i do have both. actually i already installed all of the contents of the companion cd that comes with solaris (it has the gcc and the autoconf).

 

[ericbrunson]

see if there is a config.log with more debugging information.

You can get the solaris binaries here :

guys, thanks for all you help... i finally made a successful recompilation...

well, the wrong thing i did before that caused the errors is that i didn't place the directory of 'make' in the PATH variable (/usr/ccs/bin). when i placed that directory in the PATH variable, the compilation went smoothly...

thanks for all the help...
