Cannot locate special.mk file

Hi there

I'm getting an error when I execute the "make" /modsecurity-apache_2.1.7/apache2:

Makefile:40: /usr/local/apache2/build/special.mk: No such file or directory......... the
special.mk doesnt exist in that directory...

The files that are in /usr/local/apache2/build/are: apr_rules.mk libtool make_exports.awk
make_var_export.awk mkdir.sh

When I do a locate special.mk - it turns up nothing... Cannot proceed!
Help

I'm using httpd 2.2.3 on RHEL5.1 (Tikanga)

Here are some lines from the MakeFile:

top_dir = /usr/local/apache2

top_srcdir = ${top_dir}
top_builddir = ${top_dir}

include ${top_builddir}/build/special.mk

APXS = apxs
APACHECTL = apachectl

INCLUDES = -I /usr/lib/libxml2
#INCLUDES = -I /usr/include/libxml2 -I /path/to/httpd-x.y/srclib/pcre
DEFS = -DWITH_LIBXML2
#DEFS = -DWITH_LIBXML2 -DNO_MODSEC_API
#LIBS = -Lmy/lib/dir -lmylib

CFLAGS = -O2 -g -Wuninitialized -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wshadow -
Wunused-variable -Wunused-value -Wchar-subscripts -Wsign-compare

all: local-shared-build

clean:
-rm -f *.o *.lo *.slo *.la *~ .libs

Thanks in advance

Re: Cannot locate special.mk file

Hi,

It should be in the build dir.  You can locate the build dir via an apxs
query shuch as:

$ apxs -q INSTALLBUILDDIR
/usr/share/apache2/build

Perhaps you do not have the apache2-devel package installed?  You will
also need the -devel packages for APR, APR-Util, PCRE, etc.

Re: Cannot locate special.mk file

Do you have a good reason for using 2.1.7 instead of the latest 2.5.5?
