  Now there are two ways to build mod_gzip: statically compiled
  into Apache and a DSO-File for mod_so. If you want to
  compile it statically into Apache, just copy the source
  to Apache src/modules directory and there into a subdirectory
  named 'gzip'. You can activate it via a parameter of the
  configure script, e.g.

  ./configure --activate-module=src/modules/gzip/mod_gzip.a
  make
  make install

  This will build a new Apache with mod_gzip statically built in.
  The DSO-Version is much easier to build. Just type

  make APXS=/path/to/apxs
  make install APXS=/path/to/apxs
  /path/to/apachectl restart

  The apxs script is normaly located inside the bin directory of
  Apache.

I hope this helps.
