I used this guide How do you upgrade MAMP's PHP to PHP 5.3 ? to update my PHP-Version on MAMP but it does not work.
I'm not sure if I did everything right. I downloaded php 5.4.8 und put the folder into MAMP -> conf and renamed it to php5.4.8 to make it even with the other PHP Folders in there. Than I followed the guide, but got the following error:

Sorry, I cannot run apxs. Possible reasons follow: 1. Perl is not installed 2. apxs was not found. Try to pass the path using --with-apxs2=/path/to/apxs 3. Apache was not built using --enable-so (the apxs usage page is displayed) The output of /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/apxs follows: cannot open /Applications/MAMP/Library/build/config_vars.mk: No such file or directory at /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/apxs line 217. configure: error: Aborting Binarys-MacBook-Air:php5.4.8 BinaryCoder$ What was my misstake? Thank you!
