8ddfe3a457c91c8e7d48134398fb178b091366d7rbb ------------
b332eb67479447407d0786543ac378def07b416brbb Apache 2.0 uses autoconf for configuration and installation. To create
8ddfe3a457c91c8e7d48134398fb178b091366d7rbb Apache's autoconf script, you will need libtool 1.3.3 or higher, and
b332eb67479447407d0786543ac378def07b416brbb autoconf 2.13 or newer. Those tools will not be required if you are just
b332eb67479447407d0786543ac378def07b416brbb using a package downloaded from apache.org, they are only required for
b332eb67479447407d0786543ac378def07b416brbb developers.
8ddfe3a457c91c8e7d48134398fb178b091366d7rbb To configure Apache 2.0 run the following commands.
b332eb67479447407d0786543ac378def07b416brbb ./buildconf (not required unless you are a developer)
8ddfe3a457c91c8e7d48134398fb178b091366d7rbb ./configure [autoconf arguments] [apache arguments]
8ddfe3a457c91c8e7d48134398fb178b091366d7rbb make install
8ddfe3a457c91c8e7d48134398fb178b091366d7rbb The buildconf script is very important. Just running autoconf will not
8ddfe3a457c91c8e7d48134398fb178b091366d7rbb leave the directory tree in a usable state.

8ddfe3a457c91c8e7d48134398fb178b091366d7rbb Apache 2.0 relies heavily on the use of autoconf and libtool to provide
8ddfe3a457c91c8e7d48134398fb178b091366d7rbb a build environment.
