Thanks for the replies trying to help me get subversion to see
Berkeley DB 4.2. A couple of the things I tried failed, but the last
succeeded. Below is what I did to make it work.
[I don't know if this is related, but after several failures today, I
wound up:
# echo /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.2/lib >> /etc/ld.so.conf
# ldconfig
I'm not sure if this was important at any later point. Certainly my
earlier problems were unrelated, as configure just plain wasn't yet
equipped to detect db42.]
As far as concrete changes to the FAQ go, someone should probably
confirm that the db42 patch does not work against the 2.0.48 httpd and
I guess update the FAQ.
Thanks again.
Terry
--- Attempt 1 ---
The FAQ Eric pointed me to seems to be just what I need. It has a
couple of suggested approaches. Let's take it from the top:
| In the short term, the best thing to do is apply this patch to your
| apr-util's ./configure script -- either to the apr-util in your apache
| tree (if you're building Apache before Subversion), or to the apr-util
| in your Subversion tarball (if you're not building Apache at all.)
| This patch is the new DB 4.2 detection code already in the latest
| apr-util CVS.
|
| If you've building Apache first, apply the patch to httpd-2.0.48's
| apr-util's configure script, and then build with these options:
|
| $ configure \
| --enable-dav \
| --enable-so \
| --with-berkeley-db=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.2
| --with-dbm=db42
|
| You can confirm that Apache is built with the proper BDB libraries
| with the following command:
|
| $ ldd /usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd | fgrep libdb
| libdb-4.2.so => /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.2/lib/libdb-4.2.so
So let's build apache first. I download httpd-2.0.48.tar.gz and unpack
it. Then I try to apply the patch:
$ cd httpd-2.0.48
$ patch < db42-support-patch.txt
patching file configure
Hunk #1 FAILED at 13386.
Hunk #2 FAILED at 27186.
2 out of 2 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file configure.rej
Oops. The patch doesn't work on httpd-2.0.48. I've not dug into this
but I note that the patch file is trying to insert a db42 case into
srclib/apr-util/configure and that grep db42 srclib/apr-util/configure
returns nothing, so the patch is clearly not already in there (as
patch probably would have told me).
--- Attempt 2 ---
David says 1) install Berkeley DB (done), and 2) to install 2.0.48 and
use the following configure line:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/lib/httpd \
--enable-shared \
--enable-mods-shared=all \
--with-berkeley-db=/usr/local/share/BerkeleyDB.4.2
and make && make install.
Note that this is similar to the above, without using the patch. I
follow the above (though with my own --prefix). The configure run
prints out stuff showing me it hasn't found db42, but I let it go and
do the make && make install. Afterwards, ldd httpd shows me
libdb.so.2 => /usr/lib/libdb.so.2 (0x2aae7000)
So that hasn't worked either. Nevertheless I do David's step 3 and the
configure of subversion tells me:
configure: error: APR-UTIL was installed independently, it won't be
possible to use the specified Berkeley DB: /usr/local/share/BerkeleyDB.4.2
No [Mm]akefile has been produced, so I can't do a make.
--- Attempt 3 ---
The FAQ has another approach.
| If you're not building Apache, apply the patch to the apr-util
| ./configure script in your Subversion tree, and use similar build
| options:
|
| $ configure \
| --with-berkeley-db=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.2
| --with-dbm=db42
|
| Again, you can confirm that Subversion was built against the proper
| BDB library with the following:
|
| $ ldd /usr/local/bin/svn | fgrep libdb
| libdb-4.2.so => /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.2/lib/libdb-4.2.so
I unpack the subversion tarball again (btw, I do a fresh unpack of
subversion, httpd etc whenever starting out again). Applying the patch
works fine:
$ patch -p1 < ../db42-support-patch.txt
patching file apr-util/configure
Hunk #1 succeeded at 13688 (offset 302 lines).
Hunk #2 succeeded at 27788 (offset 602 lines).
I do the configure and it finds db42. The make works, ldd shows me
that db42 is found for both svn and svnserve.
So I think I'm done.
