Hey All, I recently tried to configure and build subversion with apr and apr-util not included in my subversion tree.
I have a directory structure like this: projects/svn projects/apr projects/apr-util I buildconf; ./configure --enable-maintainer-mode; make; su -c 'make install' in both projects/apr and projects/apr-util, resulting in installed versions of both in /usr/local. Then I went into projects/svn and did ./autogen.sh; ./configure \ --enable-maintainer-mode --disable-shared. Subversion's configure failed to find apr-util. Here's my diagnoses of why. It looks in a bunch of standard places for apr-util, including /usr/local, but fails to link. Why? A bunch of necessary stuff is missing from the link line. First of all, there is no mention of -lapr. Second, there are none of the LDFLAGSS and LIBS needed by apr-util itself. Fine I thought, I'll change it to find apu-config first and then add them in. That didn't work because 1) apu-config doesn't mention needing apr, and 2) apu-config --libs gives /usr/local/lib/libexpat.la which ld says is an invalid file type. Anyone with more autoconf experience want to step up to this one. (Note that it works find if I pass a --with-apr-util=/usr/local to subversion's configure script). -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kevin Pilch-Bisson http://www.pilch-bisson.net "Historically speaking, the presences of wheels in Unix has never precluded their reinvention." - Larry Wall ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
