Compile client only?

[Shayne Hardesty <sh...@sh.birmingham.al.us>]

  I don't follow this list, and this is my first time using subversion, 
so if this is a FAQ please be gentle on me..  Is there a way to compile 
subversion without the server?  Seems like 'configure' should take a 
--with-server option like MySQL does to just give you the client. 
However I checked all of the documentation I could find and searched the 
archives of this list and have not been able to turn up anything..  Any 
help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Shayne

Not true. Current Subversion (i.e. 1.1) does not require any additional 
software a server. Sure, it will be a FSFS only server, but a server 
none-the-less. The actual svnserve server is a tiny piece of code. Most of 
the functionality is in the subversion libraries, which you would still be 
building in a client-only build anyway.

The above, of course, applies only to Subversion 1.0.x.

Because a client-only build takes a hell of a lot less third-party
software, and I don't want to install it all on a bunch of old slow
solaris and AIX boxes that will only ever use ssh+svn?

To the OP: running the configure script with "--without-berkeley-db" may
get you what you want. You *won't* be able to use file:// urls; If by
"client-only" build you meant one that is suitable for local use, that's
probably *not* what you want.

Just do a client/server build. Why do you care about excluding the server?
