Diary: db-4.2.52, httpd-2.0.48, subversion-0.37.0

Summary: A complete build of Subversion 0.37 on Solaris 9 using
Forte 7.

Not satisfied with my success with BerkeleyDB 4.1, I decided to
rebuild Subversion using 4.2 on Solaris 9 because you guys kept
insisting it was possible on Linux :-). Also, I had noticed gcc
(3.3.2 from sunfreeware.com) having trouble providing Solaris' ld
with adequate shared library paths on previous builds. I had tried
-R, -Xlinker -R, LD_RUN_PATH, etc. So, I switched to Forte since
its dependencies are standard Solaris fare, it links everything
properly with no fuss, and I'd gain a little optimization along the
way.

I started by rebuilding OpenSSL 0.9.7c. I originally forgot that
the Configure script has to be modified by adding a
`-R/usr/local/ssl/lib' right before the `-lsocket' on whichever
line corresponds to your target system. Then I ran:

   ./Configure solaris-sparcv9-cc shared

The db-4.2.52 build was straightforward:

   $ more CONFIGURE_db-4.2.52
   #!/bin/sh

   CC=cc; export CC
   CFLAGS="-xtarget=ultra2"; export CFLAGS

   ../dist/configure \
     --prefix=/opt/pkgs/db-4.2.52

After make install, I symlinked /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.2 to its
new home (/opt is linked to /usr/local, BTW):

   $ cd /usr/local; sudo ln -s pkgs/db-4.2.52 BerkeleyDB.4.2

This works well because I can easily move between minor revisions
of db-4.2 in the future without affecting binaries depending on the
location of the shared libdb-4.2.so.

Apache2 took a few tries, but this seems to work well:

   $ more CONFIGURE_httpd-2.0.48
   #!/bin/sh

   CC=cc; export CC
   CFLAGS="-xtarget=ultra2"; export CFLAGS
   SSL=/usr/local/ssl
   BDB=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.2
   CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include \
             -I${SSL}/include \
             -I${BDB}/include"; export CPPFLAGS
   LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib -R/usr/local/lib \
            -L${SSL}/lib -R${SSL}/lib \
            -L${BDB}/lib -R${BDB}/lib"; export LDFLAGS

   # This seems to work better than -R for nested 3rd-party
   # stuff(apr, apr-util)
   LD_RUN_PATH="/usr/local/lib:${SSL}/lib:${BDB}/lib"; export LD_RUN_PATH

   # --with-berk.. and --with-dbm are unequivocally needed.
   # apr-util will not configure without them (if you only have
   # db-4.2 installed, that is).
   ./configure \
     --prefix=/opt/pkgs/httpd-2.0.48 \
     --sysconfdir=/etc/apache2 \
     --datadir=/global/www \
     --enable-so \
     --enable-rewrite \
     --enable-ssl \
     --enable-http \
     --enable-dav \
     --enable-cgi \
     --enable-cgid \
     --with-ssl=$SSL \
     --with-berkeley-db=$BDB \
     --with-dbm=db4 \
     --with-mpm=worker

Subversion:

   $ more CONFIGURE_subversion-0.37.0
   #!/bin/sh

   SSL=/usr/local/ssl
   BDB=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.2
   APACHE2=/opt/pkgs/httpd-2.0.48

   JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java; export JAVA_HOME
   CC=cc; export CC
   CFLAGS="-xtarget=ultra2"; export CFLAGS
   CPPFLAGS="-I${SSL}/include \
             -I${BDB}/include \
             -I${APACHE2}/include"; export CPPFLAGS
   LDFLAGS="-L${SSL}/lib -R${SSL}/lib \
            -L${BDB}/lib -R${BDB}/lib \
            -L${APACHE2}/lib -R${APACHE2}/lib"; export LDFLAGS
   LD_RUN_PATH="${SSL}/lib:${BDB}/lib:${APACHE2}/lib"; export LD_RUN_PATH

   ./configure \
     --prefix=/opt/pkgs/subversion-0.37.0 \
     --sysconfdir=/etc/subversion \
     --with-apxs=${APACHE2}/bin/apxs \
     --with-apr=${APACHE2}/bin/apr-config \
     --with-apr-util=${APACHE2} \
     --with-ssl

I'm not sure I've ever built anything on Solaris before with that
many dependencies. Subversion is worth the trouble.

Thank-you to the developers for writing compiler-independent code!
