might use "/usr/local/apache2" for PREFIX (without the
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".
+ * Read the section "APR - Unix" below.
- * If you are a developer building Apache directly from CVS,
- you will need to run ./buildconf before running configure.
+ * 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
--enable-rewrite=shared \
--enable-speling=shared

is to run ./configure --help.

+ APR - Unix
+ ----------
+
+ httpd trunk (httpd development version 2.5) can use APR trunk (future
+ APR version 2.0) or the combination of the current APR 1.x branch and
+ the current APR-util 1.x branch. (APR trunk bundles the features in
+ APR-util 1.x.)
+
+ The httpd buildconf step, required when building httpd from Subversion,
+ must have access to the APR source. The httpd configure step, always
+ required, can configure the APR source in srclib or use a previously-
+ built APR.
+
+ APR (and APR-util if using APR 1.x) can be built with httpd from httpd's
+ srclib directory or can be built separately, prior to building httpd.
+
+ Building APR with httpd from httpd's srclib directory is required if
+ you don't have the compiler which the system APR was built with, and it
+ can also be advantageous if you are a developer who will be linking your
+ code with httpd 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.
+
+ To use APR trunk in srclib:
+
+ Check out APR trunk in srclib/apr with the following command:
+
+ svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/apr/apr/trunk srclib/apr
+
+ buildconf will find it automatically. Use the --with-included-apr
+ argument to httpd configure.
+
+ To use APR 1.x and APR-util 1.x in srclib:
+
+ Check out the current branches as srclib/apr and srclib/apr-util with
+ the following commands:
+
+ svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/apr/apr/branches/1.5.x srclib/apr
+ svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/apr/apr-util/branches/1.5.x srclib/apr-util
+
+ buildconf will find them automatically. Use the --with-included-apr
+ argument to httpd configure.
+
+ To use existing checkouts of APR (and APR-util if using APR 1.x):
+
+ httpd buildconf must have access to the source trees. Use these arguments
+ to httpd buildconf:
+
+ --with-apr=[path to apr source] --with-apr-util=[path to apr-util source]
+
+ (Omit --with-apr-util if using APR trunk.)
+
+ httpd configure must have access to a previously build apr. Use these
+ arguments to httpd configure:
+
+ --with-apr=[path to apr install] --with-apr-util=[path to apr-util install]
+
+ (Omit --with-apr-util if using APR trunk.)
