This is an E-mail I sent to gstein about the build system. If anyone can
also shed more light onto the subject, I would be grateful.

Subject: Subversion's Build System Issues
Hi Greg!
There are several patches that require interaction with the build system,
whose issues with it need to be resolved. I was told you have
originated it, and so I'm asking you what is the best way to resolve them.
The first is the issue of the "install = buildonly" target, in which we
have to put programs that should be compiled by make, but not installed by
"make install". This is intended for svn-push and for the minimal client
and stuff like that.
At the moment, the best resolution I could find from my understanding of
the build system was to add buildonly in the appropriate place to
configure.in:
<<<
Index: configure.in
===================================================================
--- configure.in (revision 7099)
+++ configure.in (working copy)
@@ -256,9 +256,9 @@
# Only add *_APACHE_RULE if we also have db, since mod_dav_svn depends on
it.

INSTALL_RULES="install-base-lib install-lib install-include
install-static"
-BUILD_RULES="base-lib lib bin test"
+BUILD_RULES="base-lib lib bin buildonly test"
if test "$svn_lib_berkeley_db" = "yes"; then
- BUILD_RULES="base-lib fs-lib lib bin fs-bin $BUILD_APACHE_RULE test
fs-test"
+ BUILD_RULES="base-lib fs-lib lib bin buildonly fs-bin
$BUILD_APACHE_RULE test fs-test"
INSTALL_STATIC_RULES="install-bin install-fs-bin install-docs"
INSTALL_RULES="install-base-lib install-fs-lib install-lib
install-include install-static $INSTALL_APACHE_RULE"
FS_TEST_DEPS="\$(FS_TEST_DEPS)"
>>>
Is there a better way?
The second issue is that of installing the Subversion pkgconfig.file.
subversion.pc.in (or svn.pc.in - whatever) exists, and is compiled into
subversion.pc by configure. It needs to be installed in the Subversion
installation path, under /lib/pkgconfig/. How can this be achieved?
Other than that, it seems Chia-Ling Kao has some problems in integrating
the build of the Perl bindings into build.conf, and would need some help.
I don't know too much more about it so please ask him.
Thanks in advance,
Shlomi Fish
