Subversion 1.4 compilation issues

Hello, 


I've tried to compile Subversion 1.4.0 from the source files (including deps) and came across a couple of annoying issues that I thought I'd share just in case anyone cares :-).



=== 1. basename/SED issue

The "libtool" script that is generated by ./configure command requires

>export SED=sed

Otherwise the libtool script fails at various points with an error

libtool: -e: command not found

(Apparrently as the result of $SED -e whatever command.)



=== 2. apr/apr-util --prefix=XXX issue

Neither apr nor apr-util ./configure command carries over --prefix=XXX option. The "Makefile" file created by ./configure --prefix=XXX command still contains the default prefix 

prefix=/usr/local/apr

not 

prefix=XXX

or (that would be even better)

prefix=XXX/apr 



=== 3. my computer configuration:

Subversion version: 1.4
OS version: Linux 2.6.16
Distribution: Unknown



Thanks,


Michael.
