Temporary fix: Uninstall apache before compiling this package.

Updated to include the patch mentioned by @twheel to avoid build failures, hopefully upstream will release a new version soon to remove this requirement.

Hacked a temporary fix by downloading the fixed file from https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/perl/modperl/trunk/src/modules/perl/modperl_perl.c?view=markup&pathrev=1889014 and using it in PKGBUILD

Trying to install this with perl 5.34.0 and getting this error:

modperl_perl.c: In function ‘modperl_hash_seed_set’:
modperl_perl.c:271:16: error: lvalue required as unary ‘&’ operand

I won't have time to look at this again this week I think, but running a local test I'm convinced this will help many people who's tests are failing - so pushing to rel 4.

If it doesn't work, commenting out this line from the PKGBUILD: APACHE_TEST_PRETEND_NO_LWP=1 make test should.

Sorry for taking so long @woodape to look.

The incriminating line seems to be here:

Do you run a service that's already bound to port 8529, this would certainly create a failure scenario. I'm thinking pushing a change that runs the tests on a higher port that's less likely to be used will make it more likely to be successful for folk - perhaps 48251.

Can you try this:

APACHE_TEST_PORT=48251 APACHE_TEST_PRETEND_NO_LWP=1 make test

If it's successful for you, I'll do a new pkg release with that change.

@mattsday, sorry for the delay. Here is a pastebin of a build I just tried. You can see the errors at the bottom. Any ideas?

@woodape yes I am able to successfully build with the tests running.

If your output is the same as @nobicycle then I'd love to see the full build & failure log - as it appears (at a glance) that make test is returning non-zero but stating all's OK. There may be an error further up causing this.

The tests are also very flaky which I consider to be an upstream issue, but that's another matter.

Thanks very much @mattsday for taking over this package.

I'm still having no luck building the latest version 2.0.11-3. If I remove the line you suggest in a previous comment, APACHE_TEST_PRETEND_NO_LWP=1 make test it builds fine. Are you able to build with this line included?

Updated the package to rel-3 which works around some upstream issues with the built-in tests, causing them to fail. These have been reported and hopefully will be fixed in a future mod_perl release.
