Apache for OS/2

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------

How to Build

NOTE: With the release of Apache v1.3.9, loadable modules are now supported
in OS/2 which means that the need to compile it yourself is no longer
required if you just want to adjust the active modules. You just have to
edit your httpd.conf file to load the modules you want at run time.

If you wish to build your own customized version of Apache httpd you will
need to have the following tools installed.

   * EMX GCC v0.9c or higher. C++ components not required.
     http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/dev/emx/v0.9d/
   * PD-ksh v5.2.13 or higher. ftp://ftp.cs.mun.ca:/pub/pdksh/ Currently no
     OS/2 binaries of this version are available so you will either have to
     build your own or download the version I've built. The available
     binary, v5.2.7, will NOT work.
   * If you want to use mod_auth you'll need a crypt library. Get
     gnuufc.zip.
   * If you want to use a module that needs a DBM library (mod_auth_dbm or
     mod_rewrite) you can use GDBM v1.7.3. This ZIP contains a ported,
     prebuild library for OS/2. Not thoroughly tested but seems to work ok.
   * Install the EXEs and DLLs from the following packages somewhere on your
     PATH and LIBPATH respectively. They are all available on Hobbes.
        o gnufutil.zip
        o gnututil.zip
        o gnusutil.zip
        o gnused.zip
        o gnugrep.zip
        o gnuawk.zip (rename gawk32.exe to awk.exe)
   * Install GNU Make. The gnumake.zip on hobbes (v3.76.1) has an odd
     behaviour that messes up the build process. If you have v3.75 installed
     then use that. Otherwise use gnumake_fixed.zip that I've compiled. If
     you use the broken make you will get an error "true: Command not found"
     when building Apache.

Once you've installed all the above, edit src\Configuration to match your
requirements, then run "sh -c Configure" from the src directory. If there
are no errors, run "make" to build your custom httpd.exe.
