<h2>Downloading Apache</h2>
Information on the latest version of Apache can be found on the Apache
-web server at http://www.apache.org/. This will list the current release,
+web server at
+<a href="http://www.apache.org/">http://www.apache.org/</a>.
+This will list the current release,
any more recent beta-test release, together with details of mirror
web and anonymous ftp sites.
order for those modules to be effective; this requires generation of a
short bit of code (`<code>modules.c</code>') which simply has a list of them.
<p>
-If you are satisfied with our standard module set, and expect to
-continue to be satisfied with it, then you can just edit the stock
-<code>Makefile</code> and compile as you have been doing previously. If you
-would
-like to select optional modules, however, you need to run the
-configuration script.
-<p>
+It is also necessary to choose the correct options for your platform.
+
To do this:
<ol>
-<li>Edit the file `<code>Configuration</code>'. This contains the per-machine
-config settings of the Makefile, and also an additional section at
-the bottom which lists the modules which have been compiled in, and
-also names the files containing them. You will need to:
-<ol>
-<li> Select a compiler and compilation options as appropriate to
-your machine.
-<li> Uncomment lines corresponding to those optional modules you wish
-to include (among the Module lines at the bottom of the file)
-or add new lines corresponding to custom modules you have written.
-<p>
-Note that DBM auth has to be explicitly configured in, if you want
-it; just uncomment the corresponding line.
-</ol>
-<li> Run the `Configure' script:
-<blockquote><code>
-% Configure<br>
-Using 'Configuration' as config file<br>
-%</code></blockquote>
+<li>
+Copy the file "<code>Configuration.tmpl</code>" to
+"<code>Configuration</code>" and then edit
+"<code>Configuration</code>". This contains the list and settings of various
+"Rules" and an additional section at the bottom which
+lists the modules which have been compiled in, and also names the
+files containing them. You will need to:
+<ul>
+<p><LI> Adjust the Rules and <code>EXTRA_CFLAGS|LIBS|LFLAGS|INCLUDES</code> if
+ you feel so inclined.
+
+<p><li> Uncomment lines corresponding to those optional modules you wish
+ to include (among the Module lines at the bottom of the file),
+ or add new lines corresponding to custom modules you have written.
+ (See <a href="misc/API.html">API.html</a> for preliminary docs on how to do that).
+</ul><p>
+ Note that DBM auth has to be explicitly configured in, if you want
+ it --- just uncomment the corresponding line.
-This generates new versions of the Makefile and of modules.c. If
-you want to maintain multiple configurations, you can say, e.g.,
-<blockquote><code>
-% Configure -file Configuration.ai<br>
-Using alternate config file Configuration.ai<br>
-%</code></blockquote>
-<li>Type `make'.
+<p><li> Run the "<code>Configure</code>" script:
+<blockquote><pre>
+ % Configure
+ Using 'Configuration' as config file
+ + configured for <whatever> platform
+ + setting C compiler to <whatever> *
+ + setting C compiler optimization-level to <whatever> *
+ %
+</pre></blockquote>
+ This generates new versions of the Makefile and of modules.c. (If
+ you want to maintain multiple configurations, you can say, e.g.,
+<blockquote><pre>
+ % Configure -file Configuration.ai
+ Using alternate config file Configuration.ai
+ + configured for <whatever> platform
+ + setting C compiler to <whatever> *
+ + setting C compiler optimization-level to <whatever> *
+ %
+</pre></blockquote><p>
+*: Depending on Configuration and your system, Configure
+ make not print these lines. That's OK
+
+<p><li> Type "<code>make</code>".
