Installing apache 2.4 on OS X Mavericks 10.9

Question

I wanted to install apache 2.4 on my OS X Mavericks and having problem with `./configure` and `make`.

Accepted Answer

First thing you need homebrew on your mac. You can get with:

```
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)"
```

command from official homebrew website.

Then you need to install pcre and libtool via:

```
brew install pcre
brew install libtool
```

After that, download latest stable apache 2.4 from Apache

After extraction go inside directory and run the following:

```
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache-<VERSION> LTFLAGS=--tag=CC
```

ex:

```
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache-2.4.7 LTFLAGS=--tag=CC
```

which I found here.

After these steps, you just need to run

```
make
make install
```

and the httpd configs and bash alters from here. Except make sure to use substitute in the correct paths.

In the end run

```
httpd -k start working
httpd -v
```

you will get (except with your version number):

Server version: Apache/2.4.7 (Unix)

Server built: Feb 8 2014 14:34:44

Hope this saves your time.
