1e11a94ec50fc9b57eb2c859771c6a326ccaf86fAki Tuomi Darwin (OS X):

1b58508a918279d773ef32518f5d5d933023c252Stephan Bosch Apache 2.0 relies heavily on the use of autoconf and libtool to

80a225c0b1f4bf322a562cc7c21d5891fb6895eeStephan Bosch provide a build environment. Darwin provides these tools as part

80a225c0b1f4bf322a562cc7c21d5891fb6895eeStephan Bosch of the Developers Tools package. Under Darwin, however, GNUlibtool

1e11a94ec50fc9b57eb2c859771c6a326ccaf86fAki Tuomi is installed as 'glibtool' to avoid conflicting with the Darwin

5e327e031d1591f8bff17b67eba7139afbd36cddTimo Sirainen 'libtool' program. Apache 2.0 know about this so that's not

5e327e031d1591f8bff17b67eba7139afbd36cddTimo Sirainen a problem.

1e11a94ec50fc9b57eb2c859771c6a326ccaf86fAki Tuomi As of OS X 10.2 (Jaguar), the bundled versions work perfectly. Partly

1e11a94ec50fc9b57eb2c859771c6a326ccaf86fAki Tuomi this is due to the fact that /bin/sh is now 'bash' and not 'zsh' as

1e11a94ec50fc9b57eb2c859771c6a326ccaf86fAki Tuomi well as the fact that the bundled versions are up-to-date:

80a225c0b1f4bf322a562cc7c21d5891fb6895eeStephan Bosch autoconf 2.5.2 and (g)libtool 1.4.2.

80a225c0b1f4bf322a562cc7c21d5891fb6895eeStephan Bosch Earlier versions of OS X are not so fortunate, and the bundled tools

1e11a94ec50fc9b57eb2c859771c6a326ccaf86fAki Tuomi are not only older versions, but also, for the most part, do not work

well. If you are interested in developing under Darwin, we

recommend that you obtain and install replacement versions of what

are normally installed on Darwin (and OS X, as of v10.1.5). If

you build your own versions of autoconf 2.52 and libtool 1.4.2, be

aware that there are some Darwin specific patches to the official

code that still must be applied for them to fully work. A useful

page to check out is:

http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/porting/libtool.php

Pier Fumagalli also provides pre-built Darwin packages of the

patched autoconf and libtool suites, available at:

http://www.apache.org/~pier/macosx/

You will note that GNU libtool should actually be installed as

glibtool, to avoid conflict with a Darwin program of the same

name. Pier's packages have this change already. All files are

installed under /usr/local/ so to use these versions, and be sure

that /usr/local/bin is earlier in your PATH.

There have been some reports that autoconf 2.52 prevents Apache's

build system from correctly handling passing multi-value envvars

to the build system (eg: CFLAGS="-g -O3" ./configure), causing

errors. Use of bash does not seem to help in this situation. If

this affects you, downgrading to autoconf 2.13 (which is installed

on Darwin) will help.

==========

FreeBSD:

autoconf 2.52 creates scripts that are incompatible with the Posix

shell implementation (/bin/sh) on FreeBSD. Be sure to use v2.13

of autoconf.
