might use "/usr/local/apache2" for PREFIX (without the
quotes).
- * 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.
+ * 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
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

Quick Start - Windows
---------------------
- For complete documentation, see [ht]docs/manual/platform/windows.html or
- http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.3/platform/windows.html.
-
- 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.
-
- 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.)
-
- 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
-
- bin\httpd.exe -k install
- bin\httpd.exe -k start
-
- 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.
