make error, Link error in subversion-1.3.2 test tree

[Naipaul Ojar <OJ...@uk.ibm.com>]

OS:- Cygwin, v1.5.21-1
Downloaded and compiled the pre-req sources for:-
  apache, BerkeleyDB.4.4, apr -1.2.7, apr-util -1.2.7

Configured Using:-
./configure --enable-dav --enable-so --with-ssl --with-berkeley-db=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.4  --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs \
--with-apr=/usr/local/apr-httpd --with-apr-util=/usr/local/apr-util-httpd

I am having a link error in the test tree of subversion-1.3.2, which could be due to the LD_FLAG setting:-
   -no-undefined

The more general 'make' failed and I have been investigating the test sub-tree where the error is located.

$ make test

Creating library file: .libs/libsvn_test-1.dll.a
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [subversion/tests/libsvn_test-1.la] Error 1

There are a number of sub-directories in the test tree and only the 'libsvn_subr' seems to be build prior to the linking
of the test tree to create the library module:- .libs/libsvn_test-1.dll.a

The offending area of code is:-
/* Determine the array size of test_funcs[], the inelegant way.  :)  */
static int
get_array_size (void)
{
  int i;

  for (i = 1; test_funcs[i].func; i++)
    {
    }

  return (i - 1);
}
But the definition of the externally defined array of functions is implemented in a module that has not been build yet:-
       subversion/tests/libsvn_repos/repos-test$(EXEEXT)

I tried to build that module, but I realised that many other modules had to be built proir to the linking of the library.

Further Investigation:-

The build-outputs.mk define the TEST_PROGRAMS and their TEST_DEPS modules
but all the dependancies have not been build prior to the linking of the library.
