RE: [subversion] Re: Anyone managed to build subversion on SCO Openserver 5?

Joe,

Results of investigating removal of -lprot below. How exactly do I make the
--without-iconv work? The top level configure does not mention --without-iconv
but apr's configure does. Do configure arguments get correctly passed down to
apr's configure (they seem to) and if not what do I do to get apr's configure to
see --without-iconv?

I've done the changes below configuring from the top --without-iconv and still
get loads of

iconv_open cannot open conversion file /usr/lib/nls/conv/UTF-8_ISO8859-1

and obviously /usr/lib/nls/conv does not exist.

The only way I've managed to get rid of the iconv_open errors is to edit
apr-util/include/private/apu_config.h and apr-util/include/apu.h and manually
comment out all:

HAVE_ICONV
APU_HAVE_APR_ICONV
APU_HAVE_ICONV

I admit I have an /usr/include/iconv.h if that helps find the problem.

Anyway, thanks for your help, I now have svn working without iconv errors.

As you asked I investigated the -lprot:

Removal of -lprot:
editing apr/configure and commented out code around line 3022:
# if test "x$LIBS" = "x"; then
# echo " setting LIBS to \"-lprot\""
# LIBS="-lprot"
# else
# apr_addto_bugger="-lprot"
# for i in $apr_addto_bugger; do
# apr_addto_duplicate="0"
# for j in $LIBS; do
# if test "x$i" = "x$j"; then
# apr_addto_duplicate="1"
# break
# fi
# done
# if test $apr_addto_duplicate = "0"; then
# echo " adding \"$i\" to LIBS"
# LIBS="$LIBS $i"
# fi
# done
# fi

configure now works fine WITHOUT having to specify LDFLAGS="-lcurses -lm"

Running configure --without-iconv in top dir then make after the above change
needs the following changes to build the svn client:

1. apr/network_io/unix/sockaddr.c
   needs an extern int h_errno; adding to it for SCO OpenServer 5

2. top level makefile --without-iconv leads to -Lno/lib
   removed -Lno/lib

   BTW it also add -Ino/include

3. apr/misc/unix/errorcodes.c
   you get a

errorcodes.c:297: warning: passing arg 3 of `stuffbuffer' makes pointer from
integer without a cast

  because netdb.h does not define hstrerror().

BTW, I've moved on to try and get subversion working on sinix and having a
similar number of problems - can't even get configure working because of all
that configure caching that gets copied down to the subdirs that need
configuring.
