How to add and enable rewrite module in manually installed apache httpd web server?

Writer Sophia Terry

I installed apache httpd server by compiling source on Kubuntu 14.10.
I ran

wget
tar -xzf httpd-2.2.29.tar.gz
cd httpd-2.2.29
./configure --enable-shared=max
make
sudo make install 

I followed these steps

I am able to run and stop the server
sudo /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl -k start to start server
sudo /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl -k stop to stop server

I am able to see loaded modules also

/usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd -M

In the list of loaded modules there is no mod_rewrite so I want to add and enable it. How can I enable that module in a manually installed httpd server?
