Empty rpath when attempting make swig-py

[jason mazzotta <ja...@gmail.com>]

Hi,
    I am trying to build the swig python bindings for subversion on Mac OS
X.  I downloaded source for subversion from here:

http://opensource.apple.com/release/os-x-109/

I ran configure as follows:

./configure --prefix=/usr --with-swig --enable-swig-bindings=python


Make works.  But then, when I run:


make swig-py


I get the following error from libtool


cd subversion/bindings/swig/python/libsvn_swig_py && /bin/sh
/Users/fred/sandbox/subversion-52/subversion/libtool --tag=CC --silent
--mode=link gcc  -g -O2     -rpath  -bundle -undefined dynamic_lookup

libtool: link: only absolute run-paths are allowed

make: *** [subversion/bindings/swig/python/libsvn_swig_py/
libsvn_swig_py-1.la] Error 1

I think this is because -rpath doesn't have anything after it.  I looked at
the swig-py target in the Makefile and found the following:

swig-py: autogen-swig-py copy-swig-py


I can't find the target autogen-swig-py in the Makefile.  Can anyone tell
me where I can find this target defined?  Is there somewhere else I should
look to find why -rpath is empty above?


I am not subscribed to the subversion users e-mail list.  I would
appreciate being Cc:ed in any responses.



Thank you,

I don't see Subversion listed on that site.  However my guess would be that's a
really old version since Apple as far as I know is still shipping 1.7.x (or
1.6.x if you're on an older version of OS X).

So I'd suggest you get a copy of the source from the project site here:
http://subversion.apache.org/download/

Alternatively you could just get a binary package.  I know for instance that
the WANdisco binaries include bindings:
http://subversion.apache.org/packages.html

If you still want to build anyway.  Note that in order for SWIG bindings to
build properly on OS X you'll need to regenerate the swig interface source
files.  We include pre-built ones but there's an issue where the pre-built ones
don't work on OS X.  In order to do this you need to have SWIG installed,
autoconf and libtool.  Once you've done that starting with a fresh extracted
tarball run:

./autogen.sh

This error doesn't look familar to me.  But I can say that I don't have an
empty -rpath with our 1.8.4 source.

In the source directory in the file named build-outputs.mk (which is included
part way through the Makefile).  However, I'd suggest you not go down the dark
path of debugging the build without first trying a newer source package.

If nothing else you almost always want the newest version of the bindings since
we fix bugs in them on a regular basis.
