2.3.1 Running make install

  • This part of the installation needs to be done as root.
    $ su
    # make install
    

    • For DSO, this will simply copy the library into your Apache libexec directory, where all the other modules are.

    • For static, it will copy some files into your Apache source tree.

    • Lastly, it will install the Python libraries in site-packages and compile them.

     NB: If you wish to selectively install just the Python libraries, the static library or the DSO (which may not always require superuser privileges), you can use the following make targets: install_py_lib, install_static and install_dso

What is this????
