Hi Reza
If you really want to do it all from source,
this is from my notes recently on a SuSE linux 9.3 box
1. Build latest Apache2 from source.
use enable-ssl enable-so enable-dav at least.
You should end up with
mod_dav_svn.so
mod_authz_svn.so
in apache modules dir after the make install.
Also the Load Module directives will have been inserted into the
httpd.conf
file for you.
LoadModule dav_svn_module modules/mod_dav_svn.so
LoadModule authz_svn_module modules/mod_authz_svn.so
2. Build latest stable Subversion server version Subversion 1.3.1 at time
of writing.
(a) use with-ssl with-apxs=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs.
(b) Download and buld latest SWIG and build src in /usr/local/src/swig-
1.3.4 or what-ever version you use.
configure
make
make install
should build it.
(c) Install the subversion-python bindings
by doing make install-swig-py from subversion src dir. These are needed
if you want to use ViewVc [ formally ViewCVS ].
(d) add svn-python to the system library PATH by editing /etc/ld.so.conf
with these lines
/usr/local/lib/svn-python
/usr/local/lib/svn-python/libsvn
/usr/local/lib/svn-python/svn
Then run /sbin/ldconfig.
(e) Also add symbolic links into the system Python site-packages dir,
pointing to the new binaries you just installed.
In /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages
create:-
libsvn -> /usr/local/lib/svn-python/libsvn/
libsvn_swig_py-1.so -> /usr/local/lib/libsvn_swig_py-1.so
libsvn_swig_py-1.so.0 -> /usr/local/lib/libsvn_swig_py-1.so.0
svn -> /usr/local/lib/svn-python/svn
This is usually needed to get ViewVC cgi working correctly.
