+ Platform specific notes:
+ ------------------------
+
+ Darwin (OS X):
+ Apache 2.0 relies heavily on the use of autoconf and libtool to provide
+ a build environment. Darwin provides these tools, but they are
+ an earlier release, and for the most part, do not work well.
+ If you are interested in developing under Darwin, we recommend
+ that you obtain and install replacement versions of what are
+ normally installed on Darwin (and OS X, as of v10.1.4). If you
+ build your own versions of autoconf 2.52 and libtool 1.4.2, be
+ aware that there are some Darwin specific patchs to the official
+ code that still must be applied for them to fully work. A useful
+ page to check out is:
+
+ http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/porting/libtool.php
+
+ Pier Fumagalli also provides pre-built Darwin packages of the
+ patched autoconf and libtool suites, available at:
+
+ http://www.apache.org/~pier/macosx/
+
+ You will note that GNU libtool should actually be installed as
+ glibtool, to avoid conflict with a Darwin program of the same
+ name. Pier's packages have this change already. All files are
+ installed under /usr/local/ so to use these versions, be sure that
+ /usr/local/bin is earlier in your PATH.
+
+ There have been some reports that autoconf 2.52 prevents Apache's
+ build system from correctly handling passing multi-value envvars
+ to the build system (eg: CFLAGS="-g -O3" ./configure), causing
+ errors. Use of bash does not seem to help in this situation. If
+ this affects you, downgrading to autoconf 2.13 (which is installed
+ on Darwin) will help.
