Building mod_jk 1.2.48 fails on fedora-server 37

Fedora-server37 new install

  • dnf install httpd (2.4.57)

  • dnf install mod_ssl

  • dnf install

  • httpd-devel (2.4.57)

  • download tomcat-connectors-1.2.48-src.tar.gz to /home/tmp

  • tar -xvf tomcat-connectors-1.2.48-src.tar.gz

  • dnf install redhat-rpm-config

  • ./configure -with-apxs=/usr/bin/apxs

  • make

mod_jk.so is not created. The error I get:

  • /usr/bin/ld: unrecognized option 'specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-ld'
  • error:ld returned 1 exit status

Can you shed some light on why this fails and what do I need to do differently to get mod_jk.so created?

The tomcat-connector installation instructions seem easy... so I'm at a loss. Any help is greatly appreciated TIA Rick

I also tried fedora-server38 - same failure I also tried tomcat-connectors-1.2.37 - same thing

Solution

  • I ran into the same problem. The options that cause the error are located in apache-2.0/Makefile. Around line 25, starting with APXSLDFLAGS= there are two appearances of something with -Wl,-specs=.... Removed both of them and make could run without problems.
