To provide maximum flexibility Apache now is able to load
modules under runtime via the DSO mechanism by using the
- pragmatic dlopen()/dlsym() system calls. These system calls
+ pragmatic apr_dso_open()/apr_dso_sym() calls. These calls
are not available under all operating systems therefore you
- cannot use the DSO mechanism on all platforms. And Apache
- currently has only limited built-in knowledge on how to
- compile shared objects because this is heavily
- platform-dependent. The current state is this:
-
- o Out-of-the-box supported platforms are (Not all of these
- will work currently. DSO support is currently available on
- most of these platforms however):
- - Linux - SunOS - UnixWare - Darwin/Mac OS
- - FreeBSD - Solaris - AIX - OpenStep/Mach
- - OpenBSD - IRIX - SCO - DYNIX/ptx
- - NetBSD - HPUX - ReliantUNIX
- - BSDI - Digital Unix - DGUX

- o Entirely unsupported platforms are:
- - Ultrix
+ cannot use the DSO mechanism on all platforms. Apache relies
+ on autoconf to detect the ability to use DSOs, and libtool to
+ determine how to build DSOs. If your platform is supported by
+ libtool, and we can find DSO system calls, then DSOs should
+ work out-of-the-box.
If your system is not on these lists but has the dlopen-style
interface, you either have to provide the appropriate compiler
