4819ff0358b6317c195fd4b1768e03d09c871070Lennart Poettering Darwin (OS X):

4819ff0358b6317c195fd4b1768e03d09c871070Lennart Poettering Apache 2.0 relies heavily on the use of autoconf and libtool to

4819ff0358b6317c195fd4b1768e03d09c871070Lennart Poettering provide a build environment. Darwin provides these tools, but

4819ff0358b6317c195fd4b1768e03d09c871070Lennart Poettering they are an earlier release, and for the most part, do not work

4819ff0358b6317c195fd4b1768e03d09c871070Lennart Poettering well. If you are interested in developing under Darwin, we

4819ff0358b6317c195fd4b1768e03d09c871070Lennart Poettering recommend that you obtain and install replacement versions of what

4819ff0358b6317c195fd4b1768e03d09c871070Lennart Poettering are normally installed on Darwin (and OS X, as of v10.1.4). If

4819ff0358b6317c195fd4b1768e03d09c871070Lennart Poettering you build your own versions of autoconf 2.52 and libtool 1.4.2, be

4819ff0358b6317c195fd4b1768e03d09c871070Lennart Poettering aware that there are some Darwin specific patches to the official

4819ff0358b6317c195fd4b1768e03d09c871070Lennart Poettering code that still must be applied for them to fully work. A useful

71d35b6b5563817dfbe757ab9e3b9f018b2db491Thomas Hindoe Paaboel Andersen You will note that GNU libtool should actually be installed as

4819ff0358b6317c195fd4b1768e03d09c871070Lennart Poettering glibtool, to avoid conflict with a Darwin program of the same

718db96199eb307751264e4163555662c9a389faLennart Poettering name. Pier's packages have this change already. All files are

4819ff0358b6317c195fd4b1768e03d09c871070Lennart Poettering installed under /usr/local/ so to use these versions, and be sure

718db96199eb307751264e4163555662c9a389faLennart Poettering 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.
