RE: Building Subversion 1.2 on OS X 10.4 fails

This will most likely get you what you need:

    ./autogen.sh
    ./configure --enable-maintainer-mode --disable-shared GXX=yes
    make
    make check
    make install

In past incarnations, you had to have GXX=yes to make everything work. In this current release (1.2 RC 3), it looks like all you really need is to disable the shared library support. This is because currently, the auto* tools call libtool to generate the shared libraries; unfortunately, Apple decided to create their own tool called libtool, and rename the GNU libtool to glibtool. This breaks the various auto* tools, as you can see from the tail end of your transcript.

I turn on the maintainer mode in the hopes that I'll see useful messages should svn crash or something. You don't need to if you don't want to. I also run all the tests to help ensure that nothing nasty has happened since the last release.

If you are REALLY stuck, I found that (at least on my system) if I compiled svn 1.1.4 on a 10.3.9 machine with --disable-shared, then it would run under 10.4. I didn't do any serious testing though, so you may want to run make check on it before trusting your system to it.

Good luck,
Cem Karan

Subject: Building Subversion 1.2 on OS X 10.4 fails

I'm trying to build on OS X 10.4

I don't need BDB support and i don't have BDB installed (that I know
of).

It fails to build. Note that I was able to build a few weeks ago,
prior to updating to OS X 10.4

Here's a transcript (excuse the huge dump from ./configure, but I
didn't know what bits were relevant, the whole ./configure thing is a
complete mystery to me):
