I try to compile libtcnative on a debian/bullseye machine. It fails and I don't know why. I am not very experienced in compiling C Code and linking.
I followed these instructions from ~/tomcat-native-2.0.3-src/native/BUILDING
Linux / Unix / OSX (static linking)
Build static version of OpenSSL 3.0.0 or later
./Configure --prefix=~/natives/openssl enable-fips make make install
Build static version of APR 1.7.0 or later
./configure --prefix=~/natives/apr make make install
Note: APR builds both static and dynamic libraries by default.
Ensure the static APR library is used
Edit the ~/natives/apr/lib/libapr-1.la file and comment or delete the following sections: dlname='...' and library_names='...'
This is needed so that libtool picks the static version of the library.Build tc-native
./configure --with-apr=~/natives/apr --with-ssl=~/natives/openssl --prefix=~/natives/tomcat make make install
this is my compile script which works fine until the last step:
sudo su
apt-get install build-essential ant
cd
wget -v4 https://dlcdn.apache.org/apr/apr-1.7.2.tar.gz
tar -xzf apr-1.7.2.tar.gz
cd apr-1.7.2

touch libtoolT
./configure --prefix=/opt/lib/apr
make
make install
# see
# tomcat-native-2.0.3-src/native/BUILDING
sed 's/^dlname=/#&/' -i /opt/lib/apr/lib/libapr-1.la
sed 's/^library_names=/#&/' -i /opt/lib/apr/lib/libapr-1.la
cd
wget -v4 https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-3.0.8.tar.gz
tar -xzf openssl-3.0.8.tar.gz
cd openssl-3.0.8
./Configure --prefix=/opt/lib/openssl enable-fips
make
make install
cd
wget -v4 https://dlcdn.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-connectors/native/2.0.3/source/tomcat-native-2.0.3-src.tar.gz
tar -xzf tomcat-native-2.0.3-src.tar.gz
cd tomcat-native-2.0.3-src
ant
cd native
./configure --with-apr=/opt/lib/apr --with-ssl=/opt/lib/openssl --with-java-home=/usr/lib/jvm/java-17-openjdk-amd64/ --prefix=/opt/lib/tomcat
make
The last part of the output is

I have no clue what is failing here.
