Subversion and OS X 10.4
Hello,
I've been trying to get the Subversion bindings for Python working with
my Framework Python under Mac OS X 10.4. I would also like to have my
own repository, available under http(s)://latte.ca/svn/ using the WebDAV
interface.
I've gone back and forth, trying to get this all working, with no
success. The most recent error (after installing Apache 2, and
disabling the default Apache that came with OS X, and after compiling
and configuring subversion three or four times (some with ./autogen.sh
because a webpage recommended it, some without because some email said
not to, some with an old apxs from DarwinPorts, some without, etc, etc)
was make swig-py complaining about missing symbols. That led me to a
page which said that I needed to compile neon myself, which I tried to,
but apparently got version 26 instead of version 25.5.
So, I'm kind of tired and disillusioned at the whole process, and I'm
asking for help. Is there a set of steps I can follow to get all of the
following:
1) Subversion installed.
2) The Python bindings installed into my Framework Python.
3) A repository which I can access from http://latte.ca/svn/
(And to think I bought a Mac because I was tired of the endless
adminstration I had to do on my FreeBSD box.)
Thank you all for any help you may be able to provide,
Blake.

Neither. ;) I compiled against Universal MacPython 2.4, from
http://pythonmac.org/packages/py24-fat/index.html (At least, I think
that's where I got it. I've installed and uninstalled a few different
Pythons, in an effort to get everything working. I know I had a
MacPorts version of Python installed at one point, but it didn't work
with something else I was trying to do. Either I couldn't import from
AppKit or WebKit, or perhaps it didn't work with py2app, but that
doesn't sound right since there's a py-py2app port... Honestly, I don't
remember what didn't work with it.)
I'm sure that one day I'll revisit my installations, and see how wrong I
went based on my limited knowledge, but until then, it works, and I'm
trying not to spend too much of my time tinkering with things that
already work on this computer (as opposed to my previous server, where I
would re-install and replace anything anytime a newer version came out.)

Perhaps that was it. Or there were other references to destroot and
bundlebuilder...)
Thanks again,
Blake.

Blake,
Did you compile against Mac OS X's Python or MacPorts. BTW, I
believe that MacPorts is a framework build also, since you can run
GUI apps with it.

Blair

Thanks to the generous help of Jeremy Pereira and Blair Zajac, I've
managed to get it all working. The solution, in my case, was to compile
Subversion 1.3.1 instead of 1.3.2. I'm not sure why this is so, and I
don't (yet) have the Mac-fu required to figure it out, but if someone
else does take a look at the diffs and figures it out, I'ld love to hear
what the actual problem was.

I would build the whole thing against DarwinPorts (now MacPorts) and
let it do the work for you. You'll spend a lot less time on it.
While you'll end up building Python for MacPorts to get the bindings,
you'll also have a newer Python on your system 2.4.3 versus Apple's
2.3.5.
> 3) A repository which I can access from http://latte.ca/svn/
This should be pretty straight forward after you've got the above built.

Blair

Is that different from the Python that comes bundled with Mac OS X?
My /usr/bin/python is merely a symlink to /System/Library/Frameworks/
Python.framework/Versions/2.3/bin/python

That looks like you've already got a broken apr install in place.
Others on the list might be able to shed some light on that, but I'd
start by clearing out everything that Subversion installs and running
install again.

OK that works fine for me. Do you want my binaries :)

I've had a go at this myself to see if I have any problems, but it
all seemed to work.
I built Apache 2.0.58, Berkeley DB 4.3.29, swig 1.3.29 and Subversion
1.3.1 from source on an Intel Mac with OS X 10.4.7 and using the gcc
supplied with XCode 2.4 (gcc 4.0.1), there are no fink or Darwinports
distributions hanging around. I built Neon and APR from the versions
included in the Subversion distribution. Everything is installed in /
usr/local.
My Apache config string is:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2 --enable-dav --enable-dav-fs
--enable-ssl --enable-so
My Swig config string is:
./configure --with-python=/usr/bin/python
(Don't know if I strictly need the --with-python switch, since it's
the default location)
My Subversion config string is:
./configure PYTHON=/usr/bin/python \
--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs \
--with-berkeley-db=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.3 \
--with-ssl --with-editor=vi \
--with-swig=/usr/local/bin/swig
Again, don't know if I need the PYTHON=... bit
I got the below warnings in the subversion configuration which I
thought was quite amusing...
configure: WARNING: Detected SWIG version 1.3.29
configure: WARNING: This is not compatible with Subversion
configure: WARNING: Subversion can use SWIG version 1.3.24 or later
During make swig-py I got some further warnings:
libtool: link: warning: `/usr/lib/gcc/i686-apple-
darwin8/4.0.1/../../..//libiconv.la' seems to be moved
libtool: link: warning: `/usr/lib/gcc/i686-apple-
darwin8/4.0.1/../../..//libiconv.la' seems to be moved
libtool: link: warning: `/usr/lib/gcc/i686-apple-
darwin8/4.0.1/../../..//libiconv.la' seems to be moved
but no missing symbols and the dylibs have built OK
I haven't actually tested the swig bindings because I know nothing
about Python programming. If you'd like to give me a small Python
script that exercises the swig libraries, I'll see if they work
properly.
