Graham,

symlink or changing the path in apxs is not the issue. Issue is something to lib tool and error spit out is libtool: compile: unable to infer tagged configuration libtool: compile: specify a tag with `--tag' apxs:Error: Command failed with rc=65536

so, question becomes what is lib tool reading? or Is there a configure and make that will work on Mac OS X 10.9.1 or any older version of Mac OS X that was tested completely.

I fixed the path issue in apxs. lib tool is giving this error not sure how to apxs can be fix this. Is the lib tool reading tagged configuration? If so, from where so that I can go after that.

Normally one would fix the apxs config issue by creating a symlink in the filesystem rather than modifying apxs config.

I am considering a better fix for mod_wsgi configure/build script but haven't got to it yet.

I can't check the other issue right now as my laptop which has latest MacOS has stopped charging and taking it to Mac Store on weekend to see if can get fixed.

Try the symlink fix and see if that resolves it. Quite possible something else is dependent on the symlink existing.

my CFG_CC getvars in apxs is getting wrong path for cc. I had manually hard code to the right path.

I'm installing using OS provided Webserver (apache) and /usr/bin/python. How do I cross the hurdle?

As such I'm using mod_python on Ubuntu and trying to get mod_wsgi work on a Mac.

This is still not the mailing list which I said should be used. Am still waiting on laptop to be repaired so still cannot investigate.

What do you get if you run:

which lib tool

and:

libtool -V

Is it definitely from:

/usr/bin/libtool

and if so what version?

Also provide the output of running:

ls -las /usr/share/apr-1/build-1/libtool 

and:

/usr/share/apr-1/build-1/libtool --version

And finally from running:

las -las /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/usr/share/apr-1/build-1/libtool

and:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/usr/share/apr-1/build-1/libtool --version

Next up, provide the output from running:

apxs -q CC

inside:~ madhu$ libtool -V Apple Inc. version cctools-846.2.4

inside:~ madhu$ apxs -q CC /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/OSX10.9.xctoolchain/usr/bin/cc

I haven't yet tried on MacOS X 10.9, but do have my laptop back now.

From my investigation on MacOS X 10.8, the reason you are getting the error about tagged configuration is because you changed the apxs configuration to use:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/cc

You cannot do this, as it will only be able to find a tag configuration for:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/OSX10.9.xctoolchain/usr/bin/cc

and will error with anything else, unless other parts of the configuration are overridden to insert a '--tag CC' argument to the invocation of libtool.

You have to therefore put back any apxs configuration files to:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/OSX10.9.xctoolchain/usr/bin/cc

you must then create the symlink as explained previously but adjust it to use different name for tool chain on MacOS X 10.9. Thus:

cd /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/ sudo ln -s XcodeDefault.xctoolchain OSX10.9.xctoolchain

So long as apxs configuration is left as the defaults and not touched, that should be all that is required.

BTW, you previously quoted:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/usr/share/apr-1/build-1/libtool --silent --mode=compile /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin -DDARWIN ….

Was that a bad cut and paste as it is broken in a couple of ways? Specifically lib tool path is bogus and 'cc' is missing on end of compiler path.

Thanks. That seem to work but apache header files is not in /usr/include like unix distribution.

So,

     ^

1 error generated. apxs:Error: Command failed with rc=65536 . make: * [mod_wsgi.la] Error 1

I'm trying to get src of apache downloaded and compile that in mac. Is there another way? I have run root level find for apache include files couldn't find it. I shall download apache and see whether it compiles.

BTW, Mac OS X server distributes mod-wsgi with very little documentation on how to get started. Is there any docs other than the PEP 333.

Regards, Madhu

The Apache header files are located under /usr/include/apache2 and the APR headers files under /usr/include/apr-1. The compiler line has -I directories for them. If you do not have those directories, then your operating system installation has somehow been mucked up. Ensure you have the latest Xcode version and that those directories exist.

I have no issues under 10.9.1 with only that symlink. I even have a solution now that doesn't even require the symlink be added, but that still will not help if for some reason the Apache headers have been removed from where they are supposed to be.

Thanks. I still don't have .so file but I have provided the listing.

Which looks correct. The results are in the .libs subdirectory. If you were to use 'sudo make install' it will install the .so file in the Apache modules directory.

Thanks! It was very helpful

Wish we can wrap this but mske install errors out.

Is there any documentation other than Pep 333 which provides a sample .py?

There is still something broken in your operating system configuration files for apxs etc from whatever changes you made and then tried to revert.

What are the DESTDIR and LIBEXECDIR settings from the Makefile?

What do yo get from running:

apxs -q LIBEXECDIR

What do you get from running :

env | grep DESTDIR

The settings in the Makefile on MacOS X 10.9 should be:

DESTDIR = LIBEXECDIR = /usr/libexec/apache2

For some reason, due to the changes you have been making they don't appear to be set to this.

After you made your changes, did you go back and do a:

make distclean

in the source code and rerun 'configure'.

If you didn't you likely didn't replace the Makefile with one which used the correct configuration.

As far as WSGI samples, don't use raw WSGI. Go use a simple framework such as Flask to get started.

Closing this as don't deem there is anything to do. Version 4.X of mod_wsgi greatly improves the build experience for MacOS X and accommodates for fact that Apple breaks their apxs configuration.
