mod_wsgi 4.8.0 on ubuntu 20.04 installation

[Tao-hsiang Chang]

I'm using multipass on Mac OS and set up a new VM through the command:

multipass launch -d 10G -m 2G -n server-dev

which builds a clean Ubuntu 20.04 LTS with 10G space and 2G ram for me.

then I proceed to the next steps:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3-dev apache2 apache2-dev
wget (URI for mod_wsgi 4.8.0)
tar xvfz 4.8.0.tar.gz

cd mod_wsgi-4.8.0

./configure
export CPATH=/usr/include/python3.8:$CPATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
make

the two lines to export path helped me to overcome Python.h missing problem

however, I encounter a new one which I have not yet find a solution:

/usr/share/apr-1.0/build/libtool  --mode=link --tag=disable-static x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,now    -o src/server/mod_wsgi.la  -rpath /usr/lib/apache2/modules -module -avoid-version    src/server/wsgi_validate.lo src/server/wsgi_thread.lo src/server/wsgi_stream.lo src/server/wsgi_server.lo src/server/wsgi_restrict.lo src/server/wsgi_metrics.lo src/server/wsgi_memory.lo src/server/wsgi_logger.lo src/server/wsgi_interp.lo src/server/wsgi_daemon.lo src/server/wsgi_convert.lo src/server/wsgi_buckets.lo src/server/wsgi_apache.lo src/server/mod_wsgi.lo -L -L -lpython
libtool:   error: require no space between '-L' and '-L'
apxs:Error: Command failed with rc=65536
.
make: *** [Makefile:31: src/server/mod_wsgi.la] Error 1

It seems like a problem with libtool so I updated libtool with:

sudo apt install libtool-bin

but with no success. Any thought?

You shouldn't need to set either CPATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables.

For system Python everything should work out of the box.

There would appear to be something quite wrong with that system if it doesn't.

Try using the 'pip install' method for installing mod_wsgi instead.
