gen-make.py

[Kevin Aubuchon <ke...@charter.net>]

I'm trying to create the cmd line client for Win32. I execute the following:

python gen-make.py -t 
 --with-httpd=..\httpd-2.0.54    --with-berkeley-db=db4-win32 --with-openssl=..\openssl-0.9.7f 
     --with-zlib=..\zlib --enable-nls --enable-bdb-in-apr-util

1. Do I need the --enable-bdb-in-apr-util switch for the cmd line client?

2. This message is part of console output: DB not found; assuming db-4.2.x 
in db4-win32 by default.
I installed the berkeley DB binaries, and they are in the PATH. The version 
is 4.4. Is there a setting I'm missing?

The problem with the Windows build is that it doesn't let you drop tings 
that aren't strictly necessary. In theory, you should be able to build 
the client without BDB (and you can do so on Unix). In practice, the 
Windows build isn't flexible enough.

That said, you should only use --enable-bdb-in-apr-util *once*. That 
switch tells gen-make.py to modify the apr-util headers and project 
files to link with BDB.

You'll also need the headers and libraries, not just the binaries.

We don't search the path. You should point to the BDB install dir with 
the --with-berkeley-db switch. gen-make.py expects a certain layout 
there (you can find an example in 
http://subversion.tigris.org/files/documents/15/24470/db-4.3.28-win32.zip). 
I quite frankly don't know if the BDB installer creates the same layout.

You need a parameter for -t; I suspect you actually did have one, or the 
reported error would've been different.
