I wasn't able to take a fresh checkout of trunk last night and
build on my RHEL5 test box. My 1.7.x snapshot builds fine
with neon on this same box, but getting the developer build to
notice serf seems almost impossible in this (older) environment
with few packages installed.
svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk svn_dev
cd svn_dev
./get_deps.sh
sh ./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr/lfs/v0/apps/subversion/dev \
--without-berkeley-db \
--with-apxs=/usr/lfs/v0/apps/httpd/2.2.22/bin/apxs \
--without-swig
make
This builds, but does not include serf. Adding --with-serf
does not help.
get_deps downloaded serf 1.0.1, it appears to have built, just not used.
Didn't find anything interesting in the build logs yet.
Also, specifying --without-apxs does not correctly disable building
mod_dav_svn and mod_dontdothat. The build fails with a missing httpd.h,
error, so I pointed it to my local build of httpd as a workaround.
Have I missed some important step? I'm sure this is just
my ignorance of setting up the dev environment...
Another very *minor* thing I noticed is that the sqlite3 error
during the build still references the old sqlite3 naming
format and references a http:// URL that is no longer valid.
