SVN on AIX
Hi,
I've been trying for quite a while to get a Subversion server running on AIX.
I have successfully built Apache and thanks to a few out-of-band pointers
from Travis P, managed to build a Subversion client that doesn't barf. This
all took a depressingly long time, mostly due to my inexperience with AIX...
;) (Why I'm trying to build it on AIX: we're short on hardware and an old
RS/6000 is the only machine we've got for the pilot.)
Anyway, httpd cannot load the Subversion modules, and gives absolutely no
helpful info on why that is:
[root@wit bin]$ ./apachectl start
Syntax error on line 231 of /usr/pkg/httpd-2.0.48/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /usr/pkg/httpd-2.0.48/modules/mod_dav_svn.so into server:
[root@wit bin]$ ls -l /usr/pkg/httpd-2.0.48/modules/mod_dav_svn.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root system 546526 Feb 04 15:15
/usr/pkg/httpd-2.0.48/modules/mod_dav_svn.so
[root@wit bin]$
Nice eh? I've searched the net on the basic error message but most people
seem to get some specifics after the second line, like missing symbols and
whatnot.
httpd runs fine without those two modules. I had a web page up with dancing
hamsters and everything.
In case it provides any clues, here's my configure for Apache:
export PREFIX=/usr/pkg/httpd-2.0.48
LIBPATH=/usr/pkg/db-4.2.52/lib CC=xlc_r ./configure \
--prefix=$PREFIX \
--with-berkeley-db=/usr/pkg/db-4.2.52 \
--with-dbm=db4 \
--enable-layout-Apache \
--enable-so \
--enable-dav \
--enable-static-support \
--enable-maintainer-mode
...and my configure for Subversion:
export LIBPATH=/usr/pkg/db-4.2.52/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/pkg/db-4.2.52/lib
export PREFIX=/usr/pkg/subversion-0.37.0
CFLAGS="-qmaxmem=-1 -O -qlanglvl=extended" CC=xlc_r ./configure \
--prefix=$PREFIX \
--with-apxs=/usr/pkg/httpd-2.0.48/bin/apxs \
--with-berkeley-db=/usr/pkg/db-4.2.52 \
--enable-maintainer-mode
I don't see any make errors or significant configure problems.
If anybody has any ideas, I'd love to hear them. The documentation coyly
alludes to the possibility of building static Subversion modules, but it's
just a tease: if somebody knows what this horrible process is, please tell
me!
The frustrating thing is how easy this was to install from source on my home
Linux box.
Thanks,
Drew.

no problems :-) I do have the same problem. I am just skimming this
list through from time to time.

As soon as I come back to the "Subversion" request I will test it and I
will report my experience.
So far thank you for your help,
Norbert

Eeek, hi, sorry it took me so long to reply. This list has so much
traffic I had to stop watching it, especially since I had to put any
Subversion plans on hold (now I'm going up against it again so I found
your note).
I doubt this will be of any use to you at this point but perhaps it
will be of some use to somebody.
Here's how I built the Apache server:
PREFIX=/usr/pkg/httpd-2.0.48
LIBPATH=/usr/pkg/db-4.2.52/lib CC=xlc_r ./configure \
--prefix=$PREFIX \
--with-berkeley-db=/usr/pkg/db-4.2.52 \
--with-dbm=db4 \
--enable-layout=Apache \
--enable-so \
--enable-dav \
--enable-static-support \
--enable-maintainer-mode \
--with-mpm=worker \
--enable-mods-shared=most \
--with-expat=`pwd`/srclib/apr-util/xml/expat
And here's how I built Subversion (note the version...):
export PREFIX=/usr/pkg/subversion-0.37.0
export LIBPATH=/usr/pkg/db-4.2.52/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/pkg/db-4.2.52/lib
export CC=xlc_r
CFLAGS="-qmaxmem=-1 -O -qlanglvl=extended" CC=xlc_r ./configure \
--prefix=$PREFIX \
--with-apxs=/usr/pkg/httpd-2.0.48/bin/apxs \
--with-berkeley-db=/usr/pkg/db-4.2.52 \
--enable-maintainer-mode
Both of these assume BDB is in this same source tree.
Let me know (perhaps cc: me directly) if this is unsuccessful... It
might jog my memory.

I am getting the same error as you have described on Feb 5th 2004. I
am using Apache 2.0.49, Subversion 1.0.5, and AIX 4.3
Did you get a Subversion server on Apache running finally? Was it
enough just to repair the Makefile as you described on Feb 6th? I
would appreciate any information I can get :-))
Thank you in advance,
Norbert

Re: SVN on AIX
Posted by Drew Leske <dl...@uvic.ca>.
Hi all,
I managed to get a build of Subversion that at least lets Apache load the
mod_dav_svn and mod_authz_svn modules. I haven't had time to actually test
it out yet due to other duties but it's at least one more step to building a
proper Subversion server on Apache.
What happened was that I decided to try and build PHP as a shared object and
see if Apache could load that. Well, it could, no problems. One thing I
noticed in the PHP Makefile was a reference to the
${APACHE}/modules/httpd.exp file, which I had wondered about cos Subversion
doesn't seem to make use of it but it obviously pertains to modules. Anyway,
it's a linker flag, which I haven't tracked down yet. In PHP's Makefile:
EXTRA_LDFLAGS = -Wl,-brtl
-Wl,-bI:$(INSTALL_ROOT)/usr/pkg/httpd-2.0.48/modules/httpd.exp -avoid-version
-module
So in Subversion's edited Makefile:
LDFLAGS = -Wl,-brtl
-Wl,-bI:$(INSTALL_ROOT)/usr/pkg/httpd-2.0.48/modules/httpd.exp -avoid-version
-module -L/usr/pkg/db-4.2.52/lib
-L/usr/pkg/src/subversion-0.37.0/apr-util/xml/expat/lib $(EXTRA_LDFLAGS)
The "avoid-version" and "module" flags I added for good measure. I'm ashamed
to say I don't know what they mean but will be tracking them down when I get
a chance.
At any rate, I hope if somebody tries to build SVN on AIX, this helps them out
a bit! Thanks to Travis P for doing previous work in getting the client to
work. :)
Drew.
