Re: Subversion on AIX

I was able to build everything until neon. There I get

   $ ./configure --with-expat=/app/fms/build/lib/libexpat.la
--enable-shared=yes --prefix=/app/fms/build
    checking for a BSD-compatible install... ./install-sh -c
    checking for gcc... gcc
    checking for C compiler default output file name...
    configure: error: in `/app/fms/build/subversion-1.6.13/neon':
    configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
    See `config.log' for more details.
    cmuser_at_fmsdwbap01:~/subversion-1.6.13/neon
    $

Can you give me any help? It looks like it's crapping out when it is
trying to determine the default link output. However, apr, apr-util,
and expat all worked.

==============================================
CONFIG.LOG OUTPUT

$ cat config.log
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by neon configure 0.28.6, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.63. Invocation command line was

  $ ./configure --with-expat=/app/fms/build/lib/libexpat.la
--enable-shared=yes --prefix=/app/fms/build
