Great. Thanks for helping svn build on MacOS X! (Since I love this
platform ;-) )

Ok, autoconf and libtool (and all the other prerequisites) were not a
problem at all, since there are already working packages in fink:
i autoconf25 2.52-1 System for generating
configure s...
i db4 4.0.14-5 Berkeley DB embedded database
i libtool14 1.4.2-4 Shared library build helper
i neon 0.19.3-1 HTTP/WebDAV client library
So they already worked fine.
I now have a working package description for subverion with fink:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=538412&group_id=17203&atid=414256
It would be great if you could try it out.
The important parts are:
PatchScript: <<
rm -r ./neon/
<<
ConfigureParams: --mandir=%i/share/man --infodir=%i/share/info
--with-neon=%p --with-berkeley-db=%p --with-expat=%p --disable-shared
--enable-maintainer-mode
SetCPPFLAGS: -I%p/include/db4
The client works ok! I have a few problems, though:
1)
For 'expat' subversion still seems to take its own 'expat-lite'
source to build its own libexpat library, even if it should take the
library from the fink package 'expat': I did --with-expat=...
Mhmmm.... Any ideas?
2)
As the new library package policy of fink suggests to only use shared
libraries with fink:
http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/packaging/policy.php#sharedlibs I
will need to try to build subversion with shared libraries. I will
tell you if I succeed. Did you try it?
Cheers,
Chris.
