Re: Subversion on SuSe Linux 9.0 (SOLVED)

The key to success when building subversion on SuSE (or anywhere else,
actually) is to make _really_ sure you use the CFLAGS used for building
apache2 itself; otherwise mod_dav_svn might be built without e.g. -fPIC
and will just take down apache as soon as modules start to interact, as
happened tp me. These settings can be queried with apxs2, e.g. on SuSE9
with the prebuilt apache-2.0.48:

# apxs2 -q CFLAGS
-O2 -march=i586 -mcpu=i686 -fmessage-length=0 -fPIC -Wall
-fno-strict-aliasing -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64

So for configuring subversion to /usr/local/ using the supplied & prebuilt
apr/apr-util/db/neon libraries you'd use something like:

#CFLAGS="-pipe $(apxs2 -q CFLAGS)" ./configure --with-zlib
--with-neon=/usr --with-apr=/usr --with-apr-util=/usr
--with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs2

Only problem is that the supplied neon on SuSE9 is a bit too old. A more
recent build will eventually show up here:
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/apache/neon/
but for now can be had from:
http://bubi2.poeml.de/pub/packages/neon/

There are also updated packages for apache2 and a prebuilt subversion, but
although the packages for subversion claim to be 0.37 they're still 0.36;
I guess this will be fixed in time for 1.0.

Thanks a lot to Peter Poeml at SuSE for quick help!
