This is a good question for those who are experts at installing Apache 2.4.12 from source.

First, no errors are being generated. My "configure, make, make install" sequence successfully creates a /usr/local/apache2/ directory.

Second, I have read the manual, poured over ./configure -h, searched the web, and no where does there seem to be anyone experiencing the same problem as me.

No matter what  "configure --foo-bar" sequence/combination I use, the shared modules are never built, or I cannot find them. I expect them to be under /usr/local/modules/, but all I get are *.a and *.la files. Alright, gurus, what am I missing?

Again, no matter what configure sequence/combination I try, *.so (DSO) files are never built, or I cannot find them.

apachectl -l does list mod_so as being compiled in statically. 

(P.S. Also posted on: ServerFault at http://serverfault.com/questions/701992/apache-2-4-12-centos-7-dso-shared-modules-not-being-built-during-compile )

Can someone explain why no DSO's are being built, or how to build at least one? Very strange.

Maybe you didn't "make distclean" between attempts at different configure invocations in the same dirty source tree?

Here's one simple recipe to try:

(change /tmp/test-config if you don't have sufficient space there)

unpack source again
cd httpd-2.4.12
./configure --enable-mods-shared=few --prefix=/tmp/test-config > cfgout 2>&1 && make >makeout 2>&1 && make install > installout 2>&1 && ./httpd -l && ./httpd -M

Does it finish?  What is the output?
