HOWTO compile apache and php on osx

From Chaos

This article is part of the HOWTO series.

Summary

I've included steps below on how to compile Apache 1.3.33 + mod_php-4.3.9 on OS X 10.3.5. Please note this does not include Apache SSL support. Please also take note that this will install config files to '/etc/apache', and the new binary to '/usr/sbin/apache'.

Details

1. Get the latest distributions of Apache and PHP.
2. Uncompress the Apache source and run the following configure command (copy + paste into your terminal should be safe):

./configure --exec-prefix=/usr \
--localstatedir=/var \
--mandir=/usr/share/man \
--libexecdir=/System/Library/Apache/Modules \
--iconsdir=/System/Library/Apache/Icons \
--includedir=/System/Library/Frameworks/Apache.framework/Versions/1.3/Headers \
--enable-shared=max \
--enable-module=most \
--target=apache

3. Run 'make && make install'.
4. Next, uncompress the PHP 4 source and run configure like so (should be safe to copy + paste to your terminal):

./configure --prefix=/usr \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--localstatedir=/var \
--mandir=/usr/share/man \
--with-xml \
--with-ctype \
--with-curl \
--with-ftp \
--with-gd \
--with-mysql \
--with-openssl \
--with-overload \
--with-pcre \
--with-posix \
--with-pgsql \
--with-session \
--with-tokenizer \
--with-ldap \
--with-zlib \
--with-apxs

5. Run 'make && make install'.
6. That should be it!
