Description SpanKY gentoo-dev

2015-05-23 16:11:10 UTC

when building mod_perl w/gcc-5, trying to load it fails:
apache2: Syntax error on line 148 of /etc/apache2/httpd.conf: Syntax error on line 2 of /etc/apache2/modules.d/75_mod_perl.conf: Cannot load modules/mod_perl.so into server: /usr/lib64/apache2/modules/mod_perl.so: undefined symbol: modperl_handler_name

this is because mod_perl has labeled that symbol inline even though it makes no sense at all -- it's defined in a .c file and other .c files are expected to call it.  it has no definition in the header file.

Fedora fixed it by disabling all of mod_perl's use of inline:

that patch fixes things for me
