+ APACHE INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
+
+ Quick Start - Unix
+ ------------------
+
+ For complete installation documentation, see [ht]docs/manual/install.html or
+ http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/install.html
+
+ $ ./configure --prefix=PREFIX
+ $ make
+ $ make install
+ $ PREFIX/bin/apachectl start
+
+ NOTES: * Replace PREFIX with the filesystem path under which
+ Apache should be installed. A typical installation
+ might use "/usr/local/apache2" for PREFIX (without the
+ quotes).
+
+ * Consider if you want to use a previously installed APR and
+ APR-Util (such as those provided with many OSes) or if you
+ need to use the APR and APR-Util from the apr.apache.org
+ project. If the latter, download the latest versions and
+ unpack them to ./srclib/apr and ./srclib/apr-util (no
+ version numbers in the directory names) and use
+ ./configure's --with-included-apr option. This is required
+ if you don't have the compiler which the system APR was
+ built with. It can also be advantageous if you are a
+ developer who will be linking your code with Apache or using
+ a debugger to step through server code, as it removes the
+ possibility of version or compile-option mismatches with APR
+ and APR-Util code. As a convenience, prepackaged source-code
+ bundles of APR and APR-Util are occasionally also provided
+ as a httpd-2.X.X-deps.tar.gz download.
+
+ * If you are a developer building Apache directly from
+ Subversion, you will need to run ./buildconf before running
+ configure. This script bootstraps the build environment and
+ requires Python as well as GNU autoconf and libtool. If you
+ build Apache from a release tarball, you don't have to run
+ buildconf.
+
+ * If you want to build a threaded MPM (for instance worker)
+ on FreeBSD, be aware that threads do not work well with
+ Apache on FreeBSD versions before 5.4-RELEASE. If you wish
+ to try a threaded Apache on an earlier version of FreeBSD,
+ use the --enable-threads parameter to ./configure in
+ addition to the --with-mpm parameter.
+
+ * If you are building directly from Subversion on Mac OS X
+ (Darwin), make sure to use GNU Libtool 1.4.2 or newer. All
+ recent versions of the developer tools on this platform
+ include a sufficiently recent version of GNU Libtool (named
+ glibtool, but buildconf knows where to find it).
+
+ For a short impression of what possibilities you have, here is a
+ typical example which configures Apache for the installation tree
+ /sw/pkg/apache with a particular compiler and flags plus the two
+ additional modules mod_rewrite and mod_speling for later loading
+ through the DSO mechanism:
+
+ $ CC="pgcc" CFLAGS="-O2" \
+ ./configure --prefix=/sw/pkg/apache \
+ --enable-rewrite=shared \
+ --enable-speling=shared
+
+ The easiest way to find all of the configuration flags for Apache 2.4
+ is to run ./configure --help.
