The main difference with other tutorials you may find on the web is that this document not only explains how to compile Apache and PHP, but also every library they depend on. This is a 'black-box' approach, where the software comes with everything it needs to run. It is longer and more complex to build such a package but, once it is done, it brings a lot of benefits, such as an independance between your software package and the libraries that may be already installed on the target host. Such a 'self-contained' approach makes it easier to build and deploy functionaly-identical packages on several different platforms/OS. Of course, the software still uses the low-level system libraries, but the dependencies are limited to the bare minimum, minimizing the risk of inconsistent behaviors between different hosts/platforms. To complement this 'black-box' approach, we install the software in a private directory. This makes the package much simpler to manage, deploy , upgrade, or remove (compared to the traditional method of installing everything under /usr/local/[bin|lib|...]). Actually, we don't include everything needed by the package, as we only include everything we can compile . The exceptions are the Oracle client library and the JAVA JRE, which are considered as 'external dependencies' and accessed through symbolic links (so that they can be physically located anywhere on the target host). 1.1 - Intended audience 4 / 58 Building Apache & PHP on HP-UX 11.11 - TekWire.Net Last Updated Thursday, 16 September 2010 22:34 This document can be used in two different ways : - In order to apply the procedure and build the software exactly as it is described here, you don't need to be an expert : it just requires some basic Unix and shell knowledge, such as being able to download the source packages, uncompress/untar them, and create files with a text editor. At this level, the procedure given below can be splitted in two main steps : - you first set a limited number of environment variables (essentially the installation directory) - and the rest is just a suite of copy/paste operations from the document to your shell environment. - Now, if you want to understand everything that is explained below, or if you want to adapt it to your specific needs, it requires of course more knowledge on different domains, mostly : - build mechanisms in general, - compile and link operations (with a strong focus on shared libraries), - makefiles, - the Gnu autoconf -based configure/make process, - and even, when it is really needed, the ability to understand and adapt some C source code. So, to resume, most people will just apply the procedure described below, which is relatively easy and just requires a basic working knowledge of the Unix shell environment. Don't hesitate to post comments on issues you may have with this document. Each time you do it, you help me and the community in general to make the procedure more robust and reliable. I promise to reply to every question asked in comments. Please prefer comments to direct mail as they may benefit others. 1.2 - Getting the source packages Some readers sometimes ask why I don't provide copies of the source packages I list below. Sure, it would be easier for you, but I won't do it as you MUST get your source packages from a repository you can trust ! You don't know me, you CANNOT trust source code downloaded from my site (except for my own projects). So, once again, always get your software from a trusted source and, when a package signature is provided, check it to make sure you get the official code. I insist on this because compiling some modified source code or installing some corrupted 5 / 58 Building Apache & PHP on HP-UX 11.11 - TekWire.Net Last Updated Thursday, 16 September 2010 22:34 precompiled binaries would give hackers everything they need to take control on your site (remember that most software we compile here runs as root).
