1. Download lastest version from apache.org and unpack.
2. Entering the extracted folder and change the file configure.aspx:

//original
if test "$APXS" = ""; then
  APXS=`which apxs 2>/dev/null`
fi;

//changed
if test "$APXS" = ""; then
  APXS=`which /opt/lampp/bin/apxs 2>/dev/null`
fi;

3. Open Terminal, stop Xampp server, navigate to the extracted folder and run the commands:

./configure.apxs
sudo make
sudo make install

4. Open file lampp/etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf and submit FCGID setting:

    <IfModule fcgid_module>
    FcgidInitialEnv PHPRC "/opt/lampp/etc/"
    FcgidInitialEnv SystemRoot "/"
    # FcgidInitialEnv SystemDrive "C:"
    FcgidInitialEnv TEMP "/opt/lampp/temp"
    FcgidInitialEnv TMP "/opt/lampp/temp"
    # FcgidInitialEnv windir "C:/WINDOWS"
    FcgidIOTimeout 64
    FcgidConnectTimeout 16
    FcgidMaxRequestsPerProcess 1000
    FcgidMaxProcesses 3
    FcgidMaxRequestLen 8131072
    # Location php.ini:
    # FcgidInitialEnv PHPRC "/opt/lampp/htdocs"
    FcgidInitialEnv PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS 1000

    <Files ~ "\.php$">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
    AddHandler fcgid-script .php
    FcgidWrapper "/opt/lampp/bin/php-cgi-5.5.30" .php
    </Files>
    </IfModule>

5. Start Xampp server. Create a phpinfo.php file with the contents:

<?php phpinfo();?>

then retrieve the browser and search for the line "Find Server API". If you did everything right, the line looks approximately like this:

Server API     CGI/FastCGI
