I am facing the following errors when building the SVN project. I was

Error:\tApache has not been designed to serve pages while\n\trunning as
root. There are known race conditions that\n\twill allow any local user to
read any file on the system.\n\tIf you still desire to serve pages as root
then\n\tadd -DBIG_SECURITY_HOLE to the CFLAGS env variable\n\tand then
rebuild the server.\n\tIt is strongly suggested that you instead modify the
User\n\tdirective in your httpd.conf file to list a non-root\n\tuser.\n
