quotes).
- * If you are building on FreeBSD, be aware that threads will
- be disabled and the prefork MPM will be used by default,
- as threads do not work well with Apache on FreeBSD. If
- you wish to try a threaded Apache on FreeBSD anyway, use
- "./configure --enable-threads".
-
- * If you are building on Mac OS X (Darwin), make sure to
- use libtool 1.4.2 or newer.
-
- * If you are a developer building Apache directly from CVS,
- you will need to run ./buildconf before running configure.
+ * 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 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 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
--enable-rewrite=shared \
--enable-speling=shared
