Failing to install on FreeBsd 12 with python 3.7

[Teva]

Hello,

I have been following the instruction given here.

An error occurred when I ran pip install "mod_wsgi-standalone". I will try today with an earlier version of the os (FreeBsd 11).

I do have the same issue with FreeBsd 11 (64 bit) :

I presume (hope) you mean Fedora 32, and not Fedora 12.

Do you have libiconv package installed?

For FreeBSD, would need to see actual underlying errors when you use -v option to pip install.

[Teva]

Hello,

I meant FreeBsd 12 sorry for the confusion, the post is updated.

libiconv is already installed, I am under the impression that the installation process doesn't know where is stored libiconv under FreeBsd.

Here is the Gist with the underlying errors : https://gist.githubusercontent.com/Teva/8b2b245dbc31aa9d44d27981b3db385f/raw/621c5182815e500a6e2d09d352fa00d0a44155b8/log

[GrahamDumpleton]

What do you get when you run:

ldconfig -r | grep iconv

[Teva]

Here is the result on FreeBsd 12 :

:~ # ldconfig -r | grep iconv 47:-lkiconv.4 => /lib/libkiconv.so.4 167:-liconv.2 => /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so.2

[GrahamDumpleton]

You might try to install it using:

LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" LDLIBS="-liconv" pip install mod_wsgi-standalone

The configure script for Apache is supposed to honour those environment variables for supplying extra linker flags.

[Teva]

I am getting the following output

:~ # LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" LDLIBS="-liconv" pip install mod_wsgi-standalone LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib: Command not found.

And when placing it at the end I have :

pip install mod_wsgi-standalone LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" LDLIBS="-liconv" ERROR: Invalid requirement: 'LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib' Hint: It looks like a path. File 'LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib' does not exist.

[GrahamDumpleton]

Then you aren't using a Bourne style shell (sh, bash etc).

Use possibly instead:

setenv LDFLAGS "-L/usr/local/lib"
setenv LDLIBS "-liconv"
pip install mod_wsgi-standalone

In other words, set and export those two environment variables and then run the command.

[Teva]

The setenv worked.

However I am still running on the same issue.

It may be the case that pip is stripping those environment variables before invoking build of Apache, so not getting through.

Is there a reason you aren't just using the Apache httpd package for FreeBSD and installing it on the system, but not enabling the service so it doesn't run? It is preferable to rely on the system one rather than use mod_wsgi-standalone.

[Teva]

"Is there a reason you aren't " I am charge of creating a script to build a web app on different servers (dev,test,prod) and thought it would be easier to just try wsgi_standalone to handle the hassle of setting up Apache with Wsgi.

I was not aware that I could install Apache from pkg, then not use it and let wsgi-standalone handle the startup process.

I will give it a try. Thank you

[GrahamDumpleton]

The steps are actually install system Apache, including any Apache dev package if they are split, so you have apxs or apxs2 command available. Then run pip install mod_wsgi. You can then run mod_wsgi-express. See:

• https://pypi.org/project/mod-wsgi/

That is the normal way of doing it.

The mod_wsgi-standalone package would be used only if you had no other choice because you didn't have admin access to the box to install the operating system package for Apache, and you didn't want to muck around with trying to install Apache from source code yourself.

Note that with this method and when using mod_wsgi-express, it doesn't interfere with the system package. It generates separate Apache configuration and leaves original alone.

[Teva]

Ok, I will do that, thank you very much.

[W11T]

The same on RHEL 7.9. Would be helpful to get the orirginal error message to get a clue what's missing.
