Build Subversion 1.4.3 in Ubuntu Edgy

February 11, 2007 – 19:49 | LAMP, Ubuntu

You'd (I did) think now that we have all figured out how to build 1.4.2 in Edgy, building 1.4.3 should be just some rather boringly repeated procedure. Nope.

For the APR and APR-UTIL packages required by subversion, there are libapr0, libapr1.0, and libapr1 and their corresponding libaprutil* in Synaptic. Despite that the libapr0 description says that it is "currently used by Apache2, Subversion...", or that 1.4.2 was happily built with libapr1.0, you want to get libapr1/libapr1-dev/libaprutil1/libaprutil1-dev, and use this configure line: (I don't care much about accessing through webdav)

CODE:
  1. ./configure --with-ssl --with-apr=/usr/bin/apr-config --with-apr-util=/usr/bin/apu-config

  2. I also needed to point ./configure to my neon config.

    ./configure --with-ssl --with-apr=/usr/bin/apr-config --with-apr-util=/usr/bin/apu-config --with-neon=/usr

  3. I succeeded by roughly following the steps listed at:

    Careful with the line

    ./configure –with-ssl

    The blog engine was too clever; should be

    ./configure --with-ssl
