ErDNA, 

there are many things that need to be considered while compiling
apache from source.

Whether you want your apache in  DSO (dynamically shared objects) mode
or static mode. what modules/functionality you want to add extra. even
with the default apache server you have many modules that get shipped
do you want all of them or just a couble of them. your compiling of
apache depends on these questions.

to start with look at the output of ./configure --help
../configure <option list>
../make
../make install

Fortunately Apache has very good documentation on their site .. which
also is part of the source. please read the documentation for further
clarifications.
