How to compile apache/httpd on Linux?

I am trying to compile https://github.com/apache/httpd on Linux.

  1. It does not have ./configure script in the repo.
  2. It does not have ./autoconf script in the repo.
  3. Nor does it have a Makefile (default) for make.

I couldn’t information in the README or INSTALL file in the repo to compile from source.

How do I compile https://github.com/apache/httpd on Linux?

    I was running into an error, APR not installed when I tried ./buildconf

    The following steps worked.

    1. Download apr source from Apache website
    2. Download apr-util source from Apache website.

    ./buildconf --with-apr=/home/senthil/Downloads/apr-1.7.0/ --with-apr-util=/home/senthil/Downloads/apr-util-1.6.1

    ./configure

    make

    First:

    ./buildconf

    As Senthil Kumaran answered his question, you can add --with-apr=/path/to/apr --with-apr-util=/path/to/apr-util

    Then do the rest.

    See https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/programs/configure.html

    A little tutorial to do the rest:

    Usually needs libssl, libnghttp2, libexpat, libpcre, apr, apr-util

    ./configure --prefix=/path/to/install/apache --enable-mpms-shared=all --enable-mods-shared=reallyall

    Then:

    make && make install

    From next time, to use the same configuration:

    make clean && ./config.nice && make && make install
