-------- Manually -------- Essex uses the newer and more advanced Module::Build rather than the old ExtUtils::MakeMaker. Also, both building and running Essex depend on the YAML library. To install these dependencies run: $ sudo cpan YAML Module::Build The optional CPAN requirements can be installed with: $ sudo cpan Template The more involved optional requirements, such as mod_perl can be installed with: $ wget http://perl.apache.org/dist/mod_perl-2.0-current.tar.gz $ tar zxvf ../archives/mod_perl-2.0-current.tar.gz $ mod_perl-2.0.0 $ perl Makefile.PL MP_APXS=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs $ make $ sudo make install And: $ wget http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/J/JO/JOESUF/libapreq2-2.05-dev.tar.gz $ tar zxvf ../archives/libapreq2-2.05-dev.tar.gz $ cd libapreq2-2.05-dev $ perl Makefile.PL --with-apache2-apxs=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs $ make $ sudo make install Build Unto::Essex: $ perl Build.PL $ ./Build $ ./Build test $ sudo ./Build install -------- Mac OS X -------- First, make sure that the Developer Tools are installed. This can be found on the Mac OS X DVD under "XCode Tools". You must do this before running CPAN for the first time so that all of the compiler paths are found. If not, run "cpan" and "o conf init" again. -- Copyright (C) 2005 DeWitt Clinton, All Rights Reserved
