svn from source and build problems @debian

[nico becker <ni...@gmx.net>]

hello,

i want to build the latest sources under debian stable.

i ve done it the following way:

 download sources

 ./get_deps-sh

cd apr -> ./buildconf -> ./configure -> make

cd apr_util -> ./buildconf ->  ./configure --with-apr=../apr/-> make



./configure --with-apr=apr/ --with-apr-util=apr-util --with-lz4=internal
--with-utf8proc=internal

  make

 sudo make install



i got the following error:

libtool: warning: relinking 'libsvn_subr-1.la'  
libtool: install: (cd

some notice:

i want only the svn server module, i need no client no apache etc. is there an
shorter, easyer way to geht the svnserve?



Thanks

Here would be a good time to run «make svnserveautocheck» (with or
without THREADS=1).

If apr/apr-util have «make test» targets, then it would be good to run
those, too (unless you install them via their *-dev packages, as Nathan
mentioned).

You didn't mention whether you did a 'make install' of apr and apr-util.
Generally I would `configure' apr, apr-util, and Subversion with a suitable
--prefix; they may have the same prefix or different prefixes, as long as
you provide the correct prefix for each to Subversion's configure
(--with-apr=..., --with-apr-util=...). Then I would configure, make, and
install apr; configure, make, and install apr-util; and finally configure,
make, and install Subversion.

As a side note, you mentioned building on Debian; unless there is a reason
to build apr and apr-util from sources, you could probably install them
from packages (libapr1-dev, libaprutil1-dev) and then Subversion's
`configure' will find them automatically.

You can run «make svnserve» to build just svnserve, but there isn't
a «make» incantation that'll install just that.

The make(1) targets chain is install→local-install→install-static→install-
bin, and that one installs all binaries, not just one of them.  In
theory you could invoke just the right set of make(1) targets, but
determining that set might not be entirely obvious (for instance, it
includes install-fsmod-lib because svnserve depends on libsvn_fs* via
libsvn_ra_local).

Even if you were to install just svnserve, you'd still need to install
APR first, as Nathan explained.
