Re: Building apr on sinix mips

Jean-frederic,

Thanks for that. It helped but the problem seemed to move to the configure for
neon where that hung (and I could not see a similar issue in that configure).
I've now configured apr, apr-util and neon separately in the subversion tree
then configured subversion with:

CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib -ltrio -lsocket -lnsl"
./configure --with-apr=/usr/local/apr/bin/apr-config
--with-apr-util=/usr/local/apr --with-neon=/usr/local

and finally got a working svn.

Thanks again for your help.

Martin
