Hello!
I had problems with custom compilling and installing subversion 1.2.1
with apache httpd 2.0.54 on AIX 5.2.0.0 PowerPc server. I have changed
my install process and managed to do it, but I report these problems
up to you in the hope it can be useful to somebody. I search a bit for
these problems but did not managed to find issues about them.
I configured, built and installed Apache using
--prefix=/some-path/install . I tried to do the same with subversion:
configure with --prefix=/some-path/install and make did a good job,
but make install failed because it searched for apache httpd in
/usr/local/apache2/. Maybe there should be a switch for configure to
indicate where apache httpd is installed when in a non standard
location. I am not sure I should have used
--with-apache=/some-path/install switch in this case since it is used
for building apache static modules which was not what I wanted
(I built shared modules and used --with-apxs to do so).
Did I made a mistake or is there a problem in configure script?
I had another problem:
I installed previous software in /some-path/install by using switch
--prefix=/some-path/install. These software where apr, apr-util,
expat, etc. When I configured subversion with switch
--prefix=/some-path/install, it did not manage to find expat.h and its
libraries libexpat.*, which were respectively installed in
/some-path/install/include and /some-path/install/lib. But when I used
the switches --includedir and --libdir with those directories, it
worked. The problem is that according to configure --help and how I
understand it, it should work without specifying these switches.
The argument given to switch --prefix is identified as PREFIX.
So PREFIX=/some-path/install/ in my case.
The argument given to switch --exec-prefix is identified as EPREFIX,
which is the same as PREFIX if this switch is not precised, which was
my case. So EPREFIX=/some-path/install/ in my case.
The argument given to switch --libdir is identified as EPREFIX/lib if
this switch is not precised, which was my case before precising it.
So EPREFIX/lib=/some-path/install/lib in my case.
The argument given to switch --includedir is identified as
PREFIX/include if this switch is not precised, which was my case
before precising it. So PREFIX/include=/some-path/install/include in
my case.
As you can see, not precising switches defaults the same as the switch
I precised. However, it did not work without these switches. I don't
understand why. So another time, did I made a mistake or is there a
problem in configure script?
Appendix: The interesting part of configure --help output:
(...)
Installation directories:
--prefix=PREFIX install architecture-independent files in PREFIX
[/usr/local]
--exec-prefix=EPREFIX install architecture-dependent files in EPREFIX
[PREFIX]
By default, `make install' will install all the files in
`/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/lib' etc. You can specify
an installation prefix other than `/usr/local' using `--prefix',
for instance `--prefix=$HOME'.
For better control, use the options below.
Fine tuning of the installation directories:
--bindir=DIR user executables [EPREFIX/bin]
--sbindir=DIR system admin executables [EPREFIX/sbin]
--libexecdir=DIR program executables [EPREFIX/libexec]
--datadir=DIR read-only architecture-independent data [PREFIX/share]
--sysconfdir=DIR read-only single-machine data [PREFIX/etc]
--sharedstatedir=DIR modifiable architecture-independent data [PREFIX/com]
--localstatedir=DIR modifiable single-machine data [PREFIX/var]
--libdir=DIR object code libraries [EPREFIX/lib]
--includedir=DIR C header files [PREFIX/include]
--oldincludedir=DIR C header files for non-gcc [/usr/include]
--infodir=DIR info documentation [PREFIX/info]
--mandir=DIR man documentation [PREFIX/man]
(...)
Please CC me on this address to let me know about answers.
