  1. First thing you need homebrew on your mac. You can get with:

    ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)"
    

    command from official homebrew website.

  2. Then you need to install pcre and libtool via:

    brew install pcre
    brew install libtool
    
  3. After that, download latest stable apache 2.4 from Apache

  4. After extraction go inside directory and run the following:

    ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache-<VERSION> LTFLAGS=--tag=CC
    

    ex:

    ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache-2.4.7 LTFLAGS=--tag=CC
    

    which I found here.

  5. After these steps, you just need to run

    make
    make install
    

    and the httpd configs and bash alters from here. Except make sure to use substitute in the correct paths.

  6. In the end run

    httpd -k start working
    httpd -v
    

    you will get (except with your version number):

    Server version: Apache/2.4.7 (Unix)

    Server built: Feb 8 2014 14:34:44

Hope this saves your time.
