Greetings to the Programming board,
I originally posted a message to the "All Things Gentoo" board about a problem I was having with installing a statically compiled apache binary with mod_perl support.
That post is here:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=1115
Basically, I am trying to find the best way to build and install a statically compiled Gentoo version of apache through the emerge system, and don't want to start re-inventing the wheel in the process. So if anyone has any sugesstions I would love to hear about them.
There was one more thing I was hoping to find more information about. The rc script for apache located at /etc/init.d/apache, contains the following function:
| Code: |
depend()
need net
use mysql
}
|
What I was curious about was the "use mysql". What, if anything, is the purpose of this? Since mysql is not listed as a dependancy in the apache ebuild script I do not have it installed. Would this create problems?
Thanks,
