PREREQUISITES:

Please see the PREREQUISITES file.  If you are building httpd-apreq-2 
directly from svn, you can generate the list of prerequisites:

            % perl build/version_check.pl


INSTRUCTIONS:

FreeBSD users must substitute "gmake" for "make" below.

Unix build, where libtool/automake/autoconf works:

            % ./configure --with-apache2-apxs=/path/to/apache2/bin/apxs
            % make
  (optional)% make test
            % make install


Or using the CPAN/perlish way (which includes the Apache2::Request and
Apache2::Cookie modules):

            % perl Makefile.PL --with-apache2-apxs=/path/to/apache2/bin/apxs
            % make
  (optional)% make test
            % make install

Developers and other folks using httpd-apreq-2 directly from svn need to
execute "./buildconf" prior to running "./configure".


Win32 build:
  C:\httpd-apreq-2> perl Makefile.PL
  C:\httpd-apreq-2> nmake
  C:\httpd-apreq-2> nmake test
  C:\httpd-apreq-2> nmake docs
  C:\httpd-apreq-2> nmake install

SVN (Subversion) ACCESS

Development of httpd-apreq-2 can be followed through the svn repository:

  $ svn checkout http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/apreq/trunk/ httpd-apreq-2

Developers with commit access must use the https protocol instead;
note that, if you are compiling svn from sources, you must
supply the configure script with the appropriate switch to
enable ssl.

Subversion sources, and binaries for some platforms, may be obtained
through the home page:

     http://subversion.tigris.org/

Documentation on using svn is available at

In particular,

     http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.0/apa.html

contains a guide for users familiar with cvs.
