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. + + + Quick Start - Windows + --------------------- + + For complete documentation, see manual/platform/windows.html.en or + <http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/platform/windows.html> + + + Postscript + ---------- + + To obtain help with installation problems, please see the resources at + <http://httpd.apache.org/support.html> + + Thanks for using the Apache HTTP Server, version 2.4. + + The Apache Software Foundation + http://www.apache.org/ |
