Installing Subversion 1.4.3 on Mac OS X LeopardEdit

Created , updated

wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-1.4.3.tar.bz2 wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-deps-1.4.3.tar.bz2 tar xjvf subversion-1.4.3.tar.bz2 tar xjvf subversion-deps-1.4.3.tar.bz2 wget http://apache.rediris.es/apr/apr-1.2.8.tar.bz2 wget http://apache.rediris.es/apr/apr-util-1.2.8.tar.bz2 tar xjvf apr-1.2.8.tar.bz2 tar xjvf apr-util-1.2.8.tar.bz2 rm -r subversion-1.4.3/apr rm -r subversion-1.4.3/apr-util mv apr-1.2.8 subversion-1.4.3/apr mv apr-util-1.2.8 subversion-1.4.3/apr-util cd subversion-1.4.3/apr ./buildconf ./configure make

This yields the following error:

network_io/unix/sendrecv.c:965:2: error: [/tags/error #error] APR has detected sendfile on your system, but nobody has written a
network_io/unix/sendrecv.c:966:2: error: [/tags/error #error] version of it for APR yet. To get past this, either write
network_io/unix/sendrecv.c:967:2: error: [/tags/error #error] apr_socket_sendfile or change APR_HAS_SENDFILE in apr.h to 0.
make[1]: *** [network_io/unix/sendrecv.lo] Error 1
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

After changing APR_HAS_SENDFILE in include/apr.h to 0:

make
make check
sudo make install
cd ../apr-util
./buildconf
./configure --with-apr=/usr/local/apr/bin/apr-1-config
make
sudo make install
make check
cd ..
./configure --with-apr=/usr/local/apr/bin/apr-1-config --with-apr-util=/usr/local/apr/bin/apu-1-config --disable-mod-activation --with-ssl
make
make check
sudo make install

# bindings (for SVK)
make swig-pl
make check-swig-pl
sudo make install-swig-pl
make clean

I later rebuilt Perl (see "Building Perl 5.8.8 on Mac OS X Leopard") and then decided to re-build the bindings, just in case they were in some way tied to the pre-existing Perl install that came with the system. As I had previously executed make clean this required me to build Subversion once more. The basic plan is to do something like this:

./configure --with-apr=/usr/local/apr/bin/apr-1-config --with-apr-util=/usr/local/apr/bin/apu-1-config --disable-mod-activation --with-ssl
make
make swig-pl
make check-swig-pl
sudo make install-swig-pl
make clean

However, all tests failed at the make check-swig-pl stage with error messages like this:

#   Failed test 'use SVN::Repos;'
#   at ../../../../../subversion/bindings/swig/perl/native/t/0use.t line 6.
#     Tried to use 'SVN::Repos'.
#     Error:  Can't locate loadable object for module SVN::_Repos in @INC (@INC contains: /Users/wincent/trabajo/unversioned/subversion/subversion-1.4.3/subversion/bindings/swig/perl/native/blib/lib /Users/wincent/trabajo/unversioned/subversion/subversion-1.4.3/subversion/bindings/swig/perl/native/blib/arch /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/darwin-2level /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/darwin-2level /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at /Users/wincent/trabajo/unversioned/subversion/subversion-1.4.3/subversion/bindings/swig/perl/native/blib/lib/SVN/Base.pm line 59

I tried:

sudo make install
make swig-pl
make check-swig-pl

But got the same errors. find / -name "*_Repos*" yielded some entries of interest:

/Library/Perl/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/SVN/_Repos
/System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/SVN/_Repos

Using find . -path "*swig*" | grep Repos showed the corresponding path, not yet installed:

./subversion/bindings/swig/perl/native/Repos.pm

So I decided to force the install anyway:

sudo make install-swig-pl

This installs, for example:

/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/darwin-2level/SVN/Repos.pm

But nothing matching _Repos.
