unable to build svn server: aprutils/bdb issues
Hi,
I'm trying to compile SVN from the 1.0.0rc1 source tarball.
The OS is Mandrake 9.2 on x86.
Just running ./configure for subversion results in a "client only" svn
build. However I am currently unable to build the "server" part. Note: I
don't need the apache modules at the moment; local filesystem and/or
svnserve will do fine.
I have downloaded, compiled and installed BerkeleyDB4.2 into
/usr/local/BerkeleyDB4.2.
Attempting to compile subversion with:
./configure --with-berkeley-db=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB4.2
fails with:
configure: error: Berkeley DB not found.
configure failed for apr-util
I therefore downloaded apache httpd-2.0.48, and tried to compile the apr
and apr-util modules separately. NB: I deleted the apr and apr-util dirs
in the subversion tree to avoid confusion, then compile the apr and
apr-util dirs under the unpacked httpd tree.
The apr module compiled and installed into /usr/local/apr.
The apr-util module can be compiled and installed (into /usr/local/apr
also), *provided* I don't pass any parameters to configure. However
during configuration it outputs text indicating it can't find any
BerkeleyDB libraries. Attempting to configure *subversion* with these
libs using:
--with-apr=/usr/local/apr
--with-apr-util=/usr/local/apr
--with-berkeley-db=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB4.2
displays the message:
configure: error: APR-UTIL was installed independently, it won't be
possible to use the specified Berkeley DB: /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.2
This kind of makes sense: subversion requires a version of apr-utils
which is compiled with bdb4. However I am unable to compile apr-utils
with bdb4.2...
Trying to compile apr-util with:
./configure --with-berkeley-db=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB4.2
displays issues finding Berkeleydb, reporting that it cannot find any of
versions 4.1, 4.0, 3, 2, 1.0, 1 then outputting:
configure: error: Berkeley DB not found.
Does anyone have any ideas what I am doing wrong? It sure looks to me
like apr-util doesn't yet support berkeley db newer than 4.1, but your
install docs recommend 4.2.51, so it must be possible...
Thanks,
Simon

Hmm .. that's what I *thought* I tried before.
However I gave it another go, and now it all works. Spooky.
Anyway, I can confirm that this process *does* build svn server stuff
with BerkeleyDB.4.2 on Mandrake9.2 (and probably all other linux)..
* download berkeleydb 4.2 source, compile, install
* update /etc/ld.so.conf to include "/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.2/lib"
and run ldconfig
* download httpd-2.0.48 source
* compile & install httpd-2.0.48/srclib/apr using
./configure
* compile & install httpd-2.0.48/srclib/apr-util using
./configure --with-apr=/usr/local/apr \
--with-berkeley-db=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.2
ignore the messages about finding "berkeleydb 4.1"; it does
actually build against the specified 4.2 version.
* download subversion 1.0.0rc1, delete apr and apr-util subdirs
* compile & install subversion with
./configure --with-apr=/usr/local/apr \
-- with-apr-util=/usr/local/apr
Thanks for the help - now looking forward to trying to compile all this
on AIX :-)

Are you building httpd-2.0.48? That's what I do. You don't need the
latest snapshot of apr-util. The one bundled in httpd-2.0.48 works just
fine. Just configure apache
--with-berkeley-db=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.2 and it's apr-util will link
to it just fine, assuming that /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.2 is in your
/etc/ld.so.conf and/or LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Did you run buildconf? It might help to look at the documentation for
building Apache 2. :-)

Unless you're running on Mac OS X, I'd suggest staying away from 4.1. I've
been seeing a number of random corruptions associated with 4.1. I'd highly
recommend either using 4.0, or trying again with 4.2.

Hi Ben,
Thanks for the info.

I tried downloading the latest apr-util snapshot. Of course it comes
without a configure file, unlike the apr-util subdir in httpd-2.0.48
:-(.
I tried running autoconf but when the generated configure script is run,
it reports a syntax error. I've downloaded and compiled the latest
autoconf, and get the same result. &$&^%$@#!
Well, maybe I'll try again when a newer apache release is out with the
latest aprutil inside (including prebuilt configure file).
In the meantime I've downloaded BerkeleyDB 4.1, and built against that.
And it Just Works. yay. I can live without auto-log-cleaning for a
while.
Oddly enough, ldd against the libaprutil-0.so file doesn't report any
BerkeleyDB libs dependencies, but subversion compiles the server stuff
ok.
Regards,
Simon

Yes, it's possible, but the latest released apr-util can't detect 4.2
yet. Only the CVS HEAD of apr-util has that code at the moment.
The formula is:
* install DB4.2 somewhere on your system, like in
/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.2
* put /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.2/lib into /etc/ld.so.conf and run
'ldconfig'
* tell apr-util (either directly, or through apache's configure) to use
--with-berkeley-db=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.2.
* verify that apr-util really is linked to db4.2 with 'ldd'. :-)
* configure your subversion tree with *no* mention of berkeley db. It
will ask your installed apu-config for info about BDB, so that it links
to the same thing.
