Sorry for the confusion, the mailing list didn't like attachments over 300k and did not distribute my email below.

Here is a link to the binary:

If you want to see how I got things to work, read on...

---------

Okay, I figured it out. Turns out that I needed to update my Xcode command line tools.

These are the steps that you need to perform:

- Install Xcode (6.1)

- If you already had Xcode 6.1 installed, run this to reinstall the command line tools:

/usr/bin/xcode-select --install

- Add link to Xcode toolchain:

cd /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains

sudo ln -s XcodeDefault.xctoolchain OSX10.10.xctoolchain

- Download Wonder adaptors

cd /tmp

svn co https://github.com/wocommunity/wonder.git/Utilities/Adaptors

- Edit makefile

vi /tmp/Adaptors/Apache2.4/Makefile

and remove the argument "-macosx_version_min 10.5"

- Build adaptor

cd /tmp/Adaptors

gnumake (some bits fail, but carry on)

gnumake Apache2.4

This creates mod_WebObjects.so

in /tmp/Adaptors/Apache2.4

Other things that I had to do after I built the adaptor:

- I then created the directory /System/Library/WebObjects/Adaptors/Apache2.4/ and moved the adaptor there

- Copied the apache.conf file from
/System/Library/WebObjects/Adaptors/Apache2.2

/System/Library/WebObjects/Adaptors/Apache2.4

- Change the path in the 2nd line of apache.conf to:
LoadModule WebObjects_module /System/Library/WebObjects/Adaptors/Apache2.4/mod_WebObjects.so

- Make sure all the file permissions in the Apache2.4 directory were identical to the ones in the Apache2.2 directory

=== Steps below detail how I edited the stock Yosemite httpd.conf in /etc/apache2 ===

- Add line in httpd.conf:
Include /System/Library/WebObjects/Adaptors/Apache2.4/apache.conf

- Uncomment line:

Include /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-ssl.conf

- Change the "Directory /" section to allow access:

<Directory />
AllowOverride none
Require all granted <--- THIS IS A NEW APACHE 2.4 DIRECTIVE TO "ALLOW FROM ALL"
</Directory>

- I did find it a little weird that this was already in my httpd.conf (maybe it wasn't stock after all?), but if you don't have it, you need to add it:

<IfModule alias_module>
ScriptAliasMatch ^/cgi-bin/((?!(?i:webobjects)).*$) "/Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/$1" <--- ADD THIS LINE
</IfModule>
