RE: Compiling subversion with javahl support?

You can also copy the libsvnjavahl.so file to
eclipse/plugins/org.tigris.subversion.subclipse.core_0.9.30 this worked
for me and IMHO is more convenient than setting
-Djava.library.path=/usr/local/lib or setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH (which may
affect other things).

For anyone struggling with building javahl on Linux as I just did here
are the steps to make it work:
(I'm on Redhat-9, using a kernel 2.6.10, and many updated libraries :)

1. get tarball from
http://subversion.tigris.org/tarballs/subversion-1.1.4.tar.bz2
2. > tar xvjf subversion-1.1.4.tar.bz2
3. > cd subversion-1.1.4
4. > ./configure --enable-javahl --with-jdk=$JAVA_HOME
5. > make javahl
6. > sudo make install-javahl
7. > cp /usr/local/lib/libsvnjavahl-1.so
..../eclipse/plugins//org.tigris.subversion.subclipse.core_0.9.30//libsvnjavahl.so
(where .... is wherever your eclipse is installed)
8. Restart eclipse
9. Make sure javahl (jni) is selected as the method to use

Hope that helps.. step 7 is the trick that took me a while to figure out!
