After two days I'm almost ready to give up on subversion. Problem is install. I
have to make it work with Apache (not svnserve) and have choice of Solaris 2.9
and Windows 2000 Server. I hit roadblock on both.
First Solaris. Both Apache and Subversion (1.0.2 and 1.0.3) fail to configure
for Berkeley DB 4.2. Berkeley DB built and installed without any error
message. For example here is relevant configure output for subversion 1.0.3:
checking for Berkeley DB 4.2 in /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.2...
checking db42/db.h usability... no
checking db42/db.h presence... no
checking for db42/db.h... no
checking db4/db.h usability... no
checking db4/db.h presence... no
checking for db4/db.h... no
checking db.h usability... yes
checking db.h presence... yes
checking for db.h... yes
checking for -ldb-4.2... no
checking db42/db.h usability... no
checking db42/db.h presence... no
checking for db42/db.h... no
checking db4/db.h usability... no
checking db4/db.h presence... no
checking for db4/db.h... no
checking db.h usability... yes
checking db.h presence... yes
checking for db.h... yes
checking for -ldb4... no
checking db42/db.h usability... no
checking db42/db.h presence... no
checking for db42/db.h... no
checking db4/db.h usability... no
checking db4/db.h presence... no
checking for db4/db.h... no
checking db.h usability... yes
checking db.h presence... yes
checking for db.h... yes
checking for -ldb... no
So, it can find db.h (only - is that normal?). And what are -ldb-4.2, -ldb4,
and -ldb? I would expect it to look for libraries, but ...
So, on Solaris I'm stuck there. Any idea?
Windows is even worse. I was trying to fllow section "Building the Latest
Source under Windows" but no luck. First, Berkeley binaries mentioned to be on
the http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList are not there. So
I built it from the source and placed in db4-win32 subdirectory.
After running "python gen-make.py -t dsp --with-httpd=..\httpd-2.0.49" I'm
supposed to:
"Open the subversion_msvc.dsw file gen-make creates in the top-level directory.
Compile the __ALL__ target to compile everything, __ALL_TESTS__ to also build
the test programs."
But, unfortunatelly, Visual Studio complains that apr.dsp makefile is not
generated by Visual Studio, and then it asks me if I want to wrap it. If I say
no 4 or 5 projects are not converted, if I say yes then it eventualy asks me
for 1 or 2 more projects and then it comes to "browse for the file" dialog for
apriconv_ccs_modules.dsp which doesn't exist anywhere. So I'm damn if I do, and
damn if I don't.
As a last resort, I installed Apache from the msi installer provided by them
and then tried to add mod_dav_svn.so provided in
http://subversion.tigris.org/files/documents/15/12863/svn-win32-1.0.2.zip.
You'd think that would work, but you'd be wrong.
C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\bin>Apache.exe
Syntax error on line 173 of C:/Program Files/Apache
Group/Apache2/conf/httpd.conf:

There's got to be someone who runs subversion server on Windows (or Solaris 2.9
for that matter). How did you do it?
