Mac OS X 10.2 and Later
=======================

On Mac OS X 10.2.x Jaguar and later, the normal Perl build of libapreq should
work. Note that you'll need Apache::TestMM, libwwwperl, and URI installed in
order to run "make test". It's also a good idea to use the "-apxs" argument to
Makefile.PL so that "make test" knows where to find and start your Apache
server. This is especially true if you've compiled and installed your own
Apache.

% perl Makefile.PL -apxs /usr/sbin/apxs
% make
% make test
% sudo make install

Mac OS X 10.1
=============

On Mac OS X 10.1, the libapreq API must be statically compiled into the Apache
binary using the experimental patch in the patches directory. This means that
libapreq cannot be used with Apple's Apache install; a new Apache server must
be built from source, instead.

To apply the patch to the Apache sources (assuming the apache-1.3.x source is
along side of the libapreq-1.x source):

% cd apache-1.3.x
% patch -p0 < ../libapreq-1.x/patches/apache-1.3+apreq.patch
% cp ../libapreq-1.x/c/*.[ch] src/lib/apreq

If you've installed Perl and mod_perl in the default Darwin locations, you'll
next need to set the PER5LIB environment variable to "/Library/Perl" so that
the new mod_perl modules you install are preferred to the ones in
/System/Library/Perl when Apache compiles. Use "setenv" under tsch:

% setenv PERL5LIB /Library/Perl

Or "export" under bash or zsh:

% export PER5LIB=/Library/Perl

Now build and install Apache (+modperl) as normal. Make sure that you use
APACI, as the libapreq patch requires it. For example, if you're letting
mod_perl's Makefile build Apache, configure it like this:

% cd mod_perl-1.xx
% perl Makefile.PL USE_APACI=1 EVERYTHING=1 APACI_ARGS="--without-execstrip"

Be sure to pass the "--without-execstrip" argument to to the
APACI_ARGS; this seems to be required to compile Apache with mod_perl
on Mac OS X. If you compile Apache by hand, you'll need to pass the
"--without-execstrip" option to its ./configure script.

And finally, the normal Perl build of libapreq should work. Note that you'll
need libwwwperl and URI installed in order to run make test.

% perl Makefile.PL
% make
% make test
% sudo make install
