Building and installing Apache 2 on a Mac
Ok Below is a rough guide to get anyone up and going when it comes to building and installing Apache 2 from source. We're gonna do this all from the Terminal found in /Applications/Utilities/Termain.app.
Please note that '$' means new line, don't type this character If you want to know about any of the commands we make from the terminal you can always type "man + command" e.g.
1$ man curl
If you run the above code it should tell you that
curl is a tool to transfer data from or to a server, using one of the supported protocols (HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, FTPS, GOPHER, DICT, TELNET, LDAP or FILE). The command is designed to work without user interaction.
This will also detail the options I use.

I found the following very helpful when I was building Apache from source on the Mac.

Hi Andy,
how did you connect Coldfusion MX 7.02 to your new Apache 2.2 - that failed for me so I switched back to included Apache 1.3...
If you get it to work, maybe you post a step by step tutorial, that would be great.
Thanks.
Ulf

Hey Andy,
I am running into a roadblock:
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
following step 2 after configure
I have been trying to find a gcc but all I cant find a binary (don't have a compiler (-:).
Any thoughts??

@doug silly question, you on a mac? if so which version? You might want to try the following command in the Terminal: "echo $PATH" (without the quotes)
if so what does that return?

Andy, not silly at all -- I am on a mac, converted one week ago (not completely weaned off of my Win box yet). I have a 13" MacBook running 10.4.10. Trying to install Apache from source.
Here is the return from echo $PATH:
/usr/local/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
Here is the entire transcript from Terminal:

Looks like this is related to my not having everything installed that I need from my install disc. I received this machine from work and found out this morning that the developer tools from the install disk had not been installed. This machine actually was the owners who was running Win from bootcamp and never used the Mac side at all. Anyway, I will look into that today- I bet that will solve the issue because GCC is part of the install.
