Hi Robert, hi SGI-Apache list,
I'm browsing the archives of the SGI Apache mailinglist and found the
question about the patches and FreeBSD.
Yes, these patches can be applied to "Apache for FreeBSD" (I've tried
only 10xpatch-1.3.12-0 a while ago). It's the same Apache as for every
other OS.
If you build Apache from the FreeBSD ports collection cd into the
apropriate(sp?) directory and type "make patch" to apply a few FreeBSD
patches (non FreeBSD users interested in the patches should look into
http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/www/, just click at the
apache port you are interested in and have a look into the patches
subdir). After this cd into the "work" directory and apply the patches
from SGI (as described by SGI), cd back into the main Apache port
directory and continue with the make process.
The qsc_cas function needs only porting if you decide to use qsc
(compile it) AND you are using FreeBSD-alpha, qsc and FreeBSD-x86 works
(read: compiles and didn't seqfault if you are not using the qsc
functionality. I haven't tested qsc, but I would be surprised if it
didn't work).
Bye,
Alexander.
P.S.: mja: I'm the one who send in a patch for "#ifdef LINUX" -> "#ifdef
x86" (paraphrased) in the qsc_cas code (10xpatch-1.3.9?). I thought I've
noted the fact I compiled it with FreeBSD, but I don't remember if I
really sayd it.
