current and webalizer
by Nobby6 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5APZJ)
Hey
Anyone had success building webalizer on -current?
if so what the heck did you change to get it so?
GD is installed but webalizer cant find it, even when i modify its CFLAGS and tell it where it is, still whines about libgd not being installed. I suspect its because its secretly looking for the old libgd-config or something like that, that is no longer installed, not really sure.
Unrelated, but for those thinking about the same path we did...
Other gotchas of interest, apache, had to use SVN versions of apr/apr-util due to a mariadb 10 requirements, couldnt use pre installed apr because yes you guessed it, it was build against ldap.
I am playing the dependency hell game, because this is on a server that has no use for ldap - thats so 90's - and Pat seems to build everything linked to it, overcome most of it so far, but this is rather painful, usually a full slackware install 14.2 to a functioning server is 3 hours (all good servers are stripped bare to whats needed only) and other stuff that needs be built, but ive had current on dev box for 7 hours , and im only half way there - didnt help it took 50 minutes to build mariadb some other dep hell.
and yes current is needed due to other software we need to run its latest version due to earlier versions with nasty exploits, and new that wont run on the 4yo antique that is 14.2 *sigh*
