Apxs not generating .so file?

Question

I am trying to install Apache mod_xsendfile on a CentOS machine.

However, when I run:

apxs -c mod_xsendfile.c

no .so file is output. Instead, it generates mod_xsendfile.la, mod_xsendfile.o, mod_xsendfile.slo and mod_xsendfile.lo.

I cannot understand why the .so file is not being created.

Answer 1

in .libs, check:

ls -l .libs/*.so
