+ APR - Unix
+ ----------
- Quick Start - Windows
- ---------------------
+ 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:
- For complete documentation, see [ht]docs/manual/platform/windows.html or
- http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.3/platform/windows.html.
+ Check out the current branches as srclib/apr and srclib/apr-util with
+ the following commands:
- The Apache/Win32 binaries are primarily distributed as a Windows Installer
- package (.msi), and may be available as a .zip file as well. These packages
- are named apache-2.3.xx-win32-x86.msi and apache-2.3.xx-win32-x86.zip.
- Please choose the .msi package if at all possible. Note that Apache version
- 2.3 is a development version and binaries may not be available. Use a
- released version from the stable 2.2 branch instead.
+ 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
- If you have unpacked a source distribution (named httpd-2.3-xx.zip, without
- any -win32-x86 notation) you must compile the package yourself, see the links
- mentioned above. Unless you intended to do this, please look again for the
- binary package from http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/win32/ and
- install that .msi (or .zip package, if you must.)
+ buildconf will find them automatically. Use the --with-included-apr
+ argument to httpd configure.
- If you have unpacked this binary distribution from the .zip package, you
- _must_ edit the conf/httpd.conf file (with notepad or another text editor)
- to reflect the correct ServerName, Domain, and directory paths. Search for
- the text "@@" to discover what you must edit. To install and start the
- service after you have corrected the httpd.conf file, use the command
+ To use existing checkouts of APR (and APR-util if using APR 1.x):
- bin\httpd.exe -k install
- bin\httpd.exe -k start
+ 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.)
+
+
+ Quick Start - Windows
+ ---------------------
- The .msi package configures the httpd.conf file, and installs and starts
- the Apache2 service for you. It also installs plenty of useful shortcuts
- and the taskbar ApacheMonitor. We strongly encourage you to use it.
