svn platform dependence
Probably a very dumb question - Is subversion, the client version (at least)
platform independent?
The reason I ask is that I have a solaris intel box and could compile and
build the svn client from the source. Then I realized that the destination
where I want to install the client is actually solaris sparc (not intel -
but same version etc). I cannot build on the solaris sparc machine because I
cannot install things like gcc, cc etc., and I do not have root access. Also
I do not have a sparc machine. Virtualization was an option, but after much
mistrials I do not want to try that more - my intel machine cannot do
hardware virtualization etc etc..
So is there someway I can use the intel svn client on sparc - or is there a
converter? Or better still can somebody who has a sparc machine build one
for me - I would be most grateful!
Thanks,

Subversion is supposed to be as platform-independent as the platform-
independence library it uses, the Apache Portable Runtime (APR).
I am not familiar with SPARC specifically, but I would assume you
could cross-compile. For example, on an Intel Mac, you can compile a
PowerPC Mac executable, and vice-versa. However, cross-compilation is
not something I'm an expert at so you'd have to look up that topic
elsewhere. I believe you would be looking at the --host, --build and
--target configure options, at least. On the Intel SPARC box where
you have your compilation tools you would also need a cross-compiling
version of gcc (or whatever compiler) that is capable of producing
SPARC binaries for whatever processor architecture is on the other
machine.

I believe you do need root access to install the packages.
If this is something you have to get it done as part of your work, then ask
the sys admin to install it for you. If not, and if you are just going to
get familiar with it, get the source and install it on the solaris/intel box
that you were referring to and use it from there.

Thanks so much Kevin. I think this is exactly what I was looking for. Let me
use the sparc vesion and will let you know how it went - thanks
nevertheless!

Yes, the Collabnet versions install to the "standard" unix paths, which
require admin privs. I recommended to their support team to allow
a selectable installation directory for the client, but they didn't
see enough interest at the time.
I didn't create these, but have found them useful from time to time:

Thanks - but under "CollabNet Subversion Command Line *Client *for Sun
Solaris 10 (SPARC)" it says:
"*Pre-requisite*: you need *administrative privileges* to install and
uninstall CollabNet Subversion"
Is that correct - do I need admin privileges to install just the client?
Thanks,

Binaries for both svn client and server are available. Hope this helps:

Probably a very dumb question - Is subversion, the client version (at
least) platform independent?
The reason I ask is that I have a solaris intel box and could compile
and build the svn client from the source. Then I realized that the
destination where I want to install the client is actually solaris sparc
(not intel - but same version etc). I cannot build on the solaris sparc
machine because I cannot install things like gcc, cc etc., and I do not
have root access. Also I do not have a sparc machine. Virtualization was
an option, but after much mistrials I do not want to try that more - my
intel machine cannot do hardware virtualization etc etc..
So is there someway I can use the intel svn client on sparc - or is
there a converter? Or better still can somebody who has a sparc machine
build one for me - I would be most grateful!
Thanks,
