Re: Trouble compiling modperl with FreeBSD11

John, thanks for your reply. the MP_NO_THREADS=1 made a difference,
although Im still not able to complete the Build, ./configure works fine,
when I run make I get further along, but eventually I get this error :

2 warnings generated.
rm -f ../../../blib/arch/auto/APR/PerlIO/PerlIO.so
cc  -shared  -L/usr/local/lib -fstack-protector-strong PerlIO.o
modperl_apr_perlio.o -pthread -Wl,-E  -fstack-protector-strong
-L/usr/local/lib -o ../../../blib/arch/auto/APR/PerlIO/PerlIO.so
chmod 755 ../../../blib/arch/auto/APR/PerlIO/PerlIO.so
make[3]: don't know how to make static. Stop

=======

I did build my perl with -Duseperlio, I dont know if that could be causing
the problem.

*Inspecting the FreeBSD port file I see that it needs gmake instead of
make, so I tried this :*

perl Makefile.PL MP_APXS=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs MAKE=gmake
MP_NO_THREADS=1
gmake

*That also did not work, but the error was different :*

cp lib/ModPerl/PerlRunPrefork.pm ../blib/lib/ModPerl/PerlRunPrefork.pm
gmake[1]: Leaving directory
'/usr/local/src/mod_perl-2.0.10/ModPerl-Registry'
gmake[1]: Entering directory '/usr/local/src/mod_perl-2.0.10/WrapXS'
make[2]: don't know how to make w. Stop
make[2]: stopped in /usr/local/src/mod_perl-2.0.10/WrapXS/APR
gmake[1]: *** [Makefile:478: subdirs] Error 2
gmake[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/local/src/mod_perl-2.0.10/WrapXS'
gmake: *** [Makefile:627: subdirs] Error 2

=====

I appreciate the help.
