make errors on CentOS 5.8

[Destralak]

Hi,

I'm following http://code.google.com/p/mod-spdy/wiki/GettingStarted .
I'm compiling the files instead of using the RPM because I have a
control panel (DirectAdmin) and no system-wide apache/mod_ssl.
I've compiled mod_spdy for CentOS 6.3 successfully using that URL.
However, if I'm compiling for CentOS 5.8 the build crashes. Can anyone
help me with this?

As far as I know, this is limited by the following restriction:

Apache 2.2 (≥2.2.4)

Have you upgraded httpd-devel to something non-standard to satisfy this?

Hi Tarun,

I'm trying to make the mod_spdy.so without using a package manager, because I don't want to install httpd system-wide (not a smart move with DirectAdmin).

If you're referring to building mod_ssl with NPN, that went successful. But trying to make the mod_spdy.so only works on my CentOS 6.3 machine, which makes me think the error is related to library issues on CentOS 5.8?

For now, I've used "rpm2cpio mod-spdy-beta_current_x86_64.rpm | cpio -idmv" to extract the mod_spdy.so from the RPM but that solution is pretty dirty and it looks like that mod_spdy.so is SPDY/2.
On my CentOS 6.3-machine I have compiled the source successfully and that file is using SPDY/3, the latest.

Thanks in advance. If you have any questions, let me know.

What version of gcc are you using on the machine where the build is failing?  You may need to update it to gcc 4.4.

(The compilation error you described occurs in certain Chromium template libraries that mod_spdy indirectly depends on -- they don't seem to build correctly with older versions of gcc.  I don't know why, but I haven't yet found any other way around it, nor can I break mod_spdy's dependency on them.  Upgrading gcc seems to fix it.)

FWIW, the mod_spdy.so from the latest binary packages (v0.9.3.3) should definitely support both SPDY/2 and SPDY/3.

Hi Matthew,

Thank you very much for your response, I got it working! For people on CentOS 5.8 as well, having problems when trying to compile mod_spdy.so from source;

1. yum install gcc44-c++

2. export CC=/usr/bin/gcc44

3. export CXX=/usr/bin/g++44

Continue step 6, section 'Without using a package manager' from the steps at http://code.google.com/p/mod-spdy/wiki/GettingStarted . It will compile successfully now.

Great, glad to hear it's working!  Thanks for the writeup.
