[jira] [Closed] (SVN-4693) building subversion --with-zlib=.... seems to have no effect

Johan Corveleyn closed SVN-4693.
--------------------------------
    Resolution: Invalid

Hi Hiran,

We prefer that problems like this (whether they are usage questions or issues during building of Subversion) are discussed first on our users@subversion.apache.org mailinglist. We like to reserve our issue tracker for confirmed bugs and feature requests that had some discussion first. So I'm closing this issue as invalid (if it turns out to be a bug after all, we can reopen it of course).

I see you already posted this problem to users@ in https://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2017-08/0026.shtml. It would be best to continue the discussion there (maybe bump the thread and add extra information if you don't get a response).

>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: compile
>    Affects Versions: 1.9.5
>         Environment: SLES11 or RHEL6 with latest available development tools installed

> I am building subversion from source but always see the output files depend on the system-supplied zlib which is way older than the one I want to use.
> What I did was this:
> {code:none}
> ./configure --with-apr=/somedir/apr --with-apr-util=/somedir/apr-util --with-sqlite=/somedir/sqlite
> {code}
> which gives me the error message that subversion requires zlib. So far so good. Then I do
> {code:none}
> ./configure --with-apr=/somedir/apr --with-apr-util=/somedir/apr-util --with-sqlite=/somedir/sqlite --with-zlib=/somedir/zlib
> {code}
> which terminates with exit code 0. The messages on stdout look ok, but when I do make and make install, the created libraries will depend on the system-supplied zlib instead of the one I specified to use. Further, in config.log I can see these lines:
> {code:none}
> ...
>   $ ./configure --with-apr=/somedir/apr --with-apr-util=/somedir/apr-util --with-sqlite=/somedir/sqlite --with-zlib=/somedir/zlib
> ...

> So this is confusing for me. While the parameter I passed was recognized and the different checks on zlib were successful, the overall result is --with-system-zlib?
> After make and make install, when I check the compiled libraries I get this output:
> {code:none}
> ldd libsvn_client-1.so
> ...
>         libz.so.1 => /lib64/libz.so.1 (0x00007fc978e9f000)
> ...
> {code}
> This shows me that the system zlib library is indeed referenced. How would I compile subversion with zlib in a nonstandard location? Unfortunately the impact is that Apache, when used with SVN, has two different dependencies upon zlib which results in conflicts during runtime.
