[Mod_gzip] trouble compling as a static module

[Mark Maunder]

Hi,

I am trying to build mod_gzip into apache 1.3.28 as a static module. I'm
doing this on a plain vanilla RedHat 8.0 installation. I follow the
installation instructions to the letter. Create gzip/ under src/modules
and copy the *.h *.c and *.tmpl files into it. I then run configure like
so:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache
--activate-module=src/modules/gzip/mod_gzip.a

I then run make and I consistently get the same error:

make[4]: *** No rule to make target `mod_gzip.a', needed by
`libgzip.a'.  Stop.

Has anyone else had this problem? And before you suggest it, I can't
build it as a DSO. 

Any help is appreciated!

Mark.
