CentOS 7: can't build PSOL from source

[dvershinin]

After all the stuff:

$ mkdir -p ~/bin
$ cd ~/bin
$ git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/tools/depot_tools.git
$ export PATH=$PATH:~/bin/depot_tools
$ mkdir ~/mod_pagespeed
$ cd ~/mod_pagespeed
$ git clone https://github.com/pagespeed/mod_pagespeed.git src
$ gclient config https://github.com/pagespeed/mod_pagespeed.git --unmanaged --name=src
$ cd src/
$ git checkout ${BRANCH}
$ cd ..
$ gclient sync --force --jobs=1 # add --revision=xxxx for a specific git revision
$ make AR.host="$PWD/build/wrappers/ar.sh" \
       AR.target="$PWD/build/wrappers/ar.sh" \
       BUILDTYPE=Release \
       mod_pagespeed_test pagespeed_automatic_test

Getting:

make: *** No rule to make target `mod_pagespeed_test'. Stop.

No Makefile is created by previous commands. Tried to use an older gclient (if that's what is supposed to generate it anyway) without success.

Hi @dvershinin
Think these are outdated steps to do.
see at https://www.modpagespeed.com/doc/build_mod_pagespeed_from_source.

For Centos 7 take account that you need to install libstdc++-static rpm as far that pagespeed link statics libraries. For latest versions of pagespeed don´t need the AR arguments

[dvershinin]

@Lofesa thank you, that's better.

The build runs without errors, but the output doesn't contain the likes of pagespeed_automatic.a static library (what I think I'm trying to build after all :) ).

I have libstdc++-static 4.8.5.

[dvershinin]

So I also did install/build_psol.sh and it worked.

Hi @dvershinin
You can do a cd pagespeed/automatic and then make BUILDTYPE=Release all this creates the pagespeed_automatica.a in this dir

So I also did install/build_psol.sh and it worked.

I am having the same problem with

make: *** No rule to make target `mod_pagespeed_test'. Stop

Can you please clarify what you mean. I am not a C programmer so this is a little challenging to understand.

[Lofesa]

@Firegarden Maybe is better to open a new issue other than write in a closed one.
But anyway.... have you done the step from this https://www.modpagespeed.com/doc/build_mod_pagespeed_from_source?

[Firegarden]

Thank you @Lofesa I am still learning how to to use github. I am actually using this https://github.com/apache/incubator-pagespeed-ngx/wiki/building-psol-from-source and as you can see it has the same instructions as above and I get the same error.

Just to give some context I am trying to build on Ubuntu 20.04 - Arm (AWS M6g Graviton2 processor) and there are no PSOL libraries available so I have to build them.

Also just a note I am trying to build for x86 as well because there are no files available on dl.google.com/dl/page-speed/psol for latest build of pagespeed 1.14.36.1

[Firegarden]

make: *** No rule to make target 'mod_pagespeed_test'

Just an update to this thread before I create a new issue. I have tested with instructions from https://www.modpagespeed.com/doc/build_mod_pagespeed_from_source and same error as above. I can not get passed the step make step

[Lofesa]

Here the files to download https://github.com/apache/incubator-pagespeed-ngx/releases/tag/v1.14.33.1-RC1 for the nginx.
And follow these steps https://www.modpagespeed.com/doc/build_ngx_pagespeed_from_source
But in this step: psol_url=https://dl.google.com/dl/page-speed/psol/${NPS_RELEASE_NUMBER}.tar.gz
change it with https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/incubator/pagespeed/1.14.36.1/x64/psol-1.14.36.1-apache-incubating-$BIT_SIZE_NAME.tar.gz

[Firegarden]

Thank you @Lofesa

I tested with my build script and was able to build Nginx with your instructions on X86

echo -ne " Downloading ngx_pagespeed [..]\\r"
wget https://github.com/apache/incubator-pagespeed-ngx/archive/v1.14.33.1-RC1.zip >> /tmp/nginx-autoinstall.log 2>&1
unzip v1.14.33.1-RC1.zip >> /tmp/nginx-autoinstall.log 2>&1
cd incubator-pagespeed-ngx-1.14.33.1-RC1/ || exit 1
wget https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/incubator/pagespeed/1.14.36.1/x64/psol-1.14.36.1-apache-incubating-x64.tar.gz
tar -xzvf psol-1.14.36.1-apache-incubating-x64.tar.gz >> /tmp/nginx-autoinstall.log 2>&1

Thank you for taking the time to answer this and I can confirm this works. The only concern I have left is to get the PSOL to compile on AWS M6g Graviton2 Arm processor. If anyone knows how to make this work it would be helpful to know.
