subversion installation on Parisc64

Hi,

I'm trying to install subversion on HP-UX for some time now.
I had success with 1.4.3 with all the apr libraries including apr-iconv 
installed before calling the
configure of subversion. Not using apr-iconv on Parisc will trigger 
unresolved symbols for libiconv_open.

However, this breaks for subversion 1.4.4 for various reasons:
- the Parisc linker can't deal with dependent shared libraries in a sane 
manner.
- the subversion-deps package doesn't include apr-iconv -> libiconv_open 
issues which can't be easily solved on HPs.

Also the svn configure script detects the presence of the neon libraries 
and still fails to build
the corresponding access modules for http.

My suggestion is:

Please print a summary after the subversion configure is finished. This 
summary should contain the
modules that'll be built or nor built. If a module is not built, at 
least some information should be provided to
point the user to potential problems.



Best regards,

Burkhard Neinhüs

If you think there are problems in the HP-UX linker running on PA-RISC systems, 
the hpux-devtools@cxx.cup.hp.com mailing list might be a good place to discuss 
it. (If you aren't already excercising your support contracts and in contact 
with the Response Center.)

When/if you do send a message to hpux-devtools please be painfully specific 
about OS rev, linker rev, patches installed etc etc. and why you believe the 
linker's current behaviour to be not sane.

sincerely,

rick jones

He (and Kamesh?) were working on something, yeah.  IIRC, it wasn't
comprehensive (e.g. didnt' include all bindings info, etc.).  That
said, I'd still like to see it committed -- it'll at least give us a
spot to add the missing info.

I think Erik posted such a patch sometime last year.

While configure doesn't currently output a summary, it does output  
warnings while it runs for modules which won't be built.

I'd be interested in a patch which output a summary.
