Apple no longer supplies the apr-1-config and apu-1-config scripts, as well as
other things I can remember right now, which are required by the Apache apxs
tool used to build Apache modules. The CMMI method relies on the apxs tool
working.
It isn't known whether Apache will fix it in a newer Xcode tools update by
adding back the tools, or whether they will leave it broken until 10.13 release
of OS. In the past few versions of the OS they have always broken the ability
to do builds in one way or another and never fix it, so always have to keep
using workarounds. This time it is too much trouble to try and workaround the
problems they have caused for CMMI method by leaving those tools out. The CMMI
method was already partly a problem anyway because of SIP and you couldn't
install the Apache module in the default modules directory where apxs tries to
put it.
So for MacOS X you now need to use the pip install method. That is as simple as:
pip install mod_wsgi
mod_wsgi-express module-config
Take output of second command and add it to the Apache configuration file to
load the Apache module.
