Hi Peter,
I've fixed my problem. Your advice was really helpful, the only thing I had to change was to replace server/exports.o with server/protocol.o modules.o buildmark.o server/provider.o server/util_xml.o server/error_bucket.o and everything works fine.
Thanks again for your help
Steven

Hi Peter,
I've followed your instruction. The shared object which is created has a size of 5 kB. Is this right? It seems to be very small. There are still undefined symbols of functions like ap_filter_flush, ap_is_url or ap_count_dirs. I will edit server/exports.c file because many of the undefined symbols are defined in this file (and as the first lines say, exports.c is an ugly hack which exports every function => undefined symbols)
Do you know an options or other files which would improve the shared object?
Thanks for your advices
Steven

The build infrastructure doesn't seem to know this anymore -
but does it work if you do the following?
make clean
CFLAGS='-D SHARED_CORE -fPIC' ./configure
make
and then take the line which links together the httpd binary (the
one with
libtool ... -mode=link gcc ... -o httpd ...
which is probably the last line)
and rerun it manually with a slight change:
libtool ... -mode=link gcc ... -shared -o libhttpd.so ... server/exports.o
This should build the shared object anyway.
But it is possible that it doesn't provide what you need. YMMV.
