Build and installation

Warning: Adjust the paths to suit your own configuration.

Apache™

 cd /yourhome/apps/httpd-2.2.8

 ./configure --enable-so --prefix=/yourhome/inst/httpd

 make

 make install

PHP

 cd /yourhome/apps/php-5.2.5

 ./configure --with-interbase=/opt/firebird/ 
 --with-apxs2=/yourhome/inst/httpd/bin/apxs --disable-libxml 
 --disable-dom --disable-simplexml --disable-xml 
 --disable-xmlreader --disable-xmlwriter --without-pear 
 --prefix=/yourhome/inst/php

 make

 make install

Note: These switches:

 --disable-libxml \ 
 --disable-dom --disable-simplexml --disable-xml \ 
 --disable-xmlreader --disable-xmlwriter --without-pear

are specific to our system, as pear uses XML and we don't have libxml installed in our system. If you have libxml in your system, of course these switches are unnecessary.
