Httpd with openLDAP

[axelbrunger]

I'm trying to compile httpd with openLDAP support. Is it possible to do this with Brew?

You can use brew extract to create your own version of the httpd formula with openldap support. Alternatively, you can make a pull request to add this to the existing formula.

If you choose to maintain your own httpd, these docs might help:

https://docs.brew.sh/Taps
https://docs.brew.sh/Interesting-Taps-and-Forks
https://docs.brew.sh/How-to-Create-and-Maintain-a-Tap
https://brew.sh/2020/11/18/homebrew-tap-with-bottles-uploaded-to-github-releases/

If you make a pull request against the existing formula, please include an explanation in your pull request why openldap support is useful, and whether/how most users might be interested in making use of it.

Feel free to ask if you have any further questions.

Thank you for the suggestions. It seems that it would be of general interest to have a formula that includes openldap, especially since Mac OS has recently discontinued php support and their Apache implementation is rather unstable. Where shall I make the pull request?

You'll have to create a pull request at Homebrew/homebrew-core. Do take a look at these links for information on how to open a Homebrew PR:
