error with sudo make install LIBEXECDIR=/usr/local/etc/httpd/modules

[interzone2]

I'm getting error:

make: *** No rule to make target install'. Stop.`

when using following command on BigSur:

sudo make install LIBEXECDIR=/usr/local/etc/httpd/modules

I've changed to /local/etc/ as that's where httpd is on my Mac.

Any ideas?

Did you run configure first?

You should be using:

./configure
make install

Only the make command would need sudo if indeed root access was need to copy Apache module into place, which if using brew for installing Apache shouldn't be required anyway.

Note that this assumes that apxs can be found in your PATH. If it isn't, you would need to tell configure where it is:

./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/bin/apxs

Also, just to be clear, you cannot use macOS Apache. Thus need to use brew installed Apache since that is likely only way to even get Apache on macOS now as building Apache from source code yourself on macOS will not work as official packages haven't been updated to work on recent macOS versions where as brew version they make changes so it can be installed.

If config/make/make install method is working, then can also try pip install method. See:

• https://pypi.org/project/mod-wsgi/

You need brew installed Apache either way.
