I have a problem during the “make” of subversion source…
….. /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lexpat

I have tested expat from source, apr&apr-util from source… always the same problem

Any idea ?

Thank
Osvaldo
P.S. FreeBsd 6.2 apache 2.2.6 subversion 1.4.5

I too have problems using svnsync with apache https.
It works fine with standard http, but https produce an errorlevel of 1 in the .bat file that I am running.

I have it hooked into the post-commit.bat hook. What am I missing?
Spend hours on this

Below is the .bat code

rem —- Start —–
@echo off

svnsync synchronize https://165.56.1.21:443/sslrepo2 –username test –password pwd >> “errors.txt”

IF %ERRORLEVEL%==0 GOTO end
echo “Error – %ERRORLEVEL%” >> “errors.txt”

:end
rem —— Finish ——-

@Dustin,
Well I guess you might be referring to GUI packages for svn like kdesvn, rapidsvn , I did initially run into trouble as I had installed them when i had svn 1.3.2 from repos. Well after that dint really have a need for them, hence havent tried. I’l let you know if it works with 1.4. Or is it something else you are referring to??

Nice howto. I previously compiled SVN 1.4 for my system, but theres still random packages that I want to install using apt that have svn as a dependency. Of course, I already have SVN, just not the package.. any ideas on how to create a dummy package or something to that effect?

@Jeff

Thanks for bringing that up, Well that was a typo i guess the httpd.conf at the end should look like this

DAV svn
SVNPath /home/username/subversion/repos

AuthType Basic
AuthName “Subversion Repository”
AuthUserFile /home/username/subversion/dav_svn.passwd
Require valid-user

@Joe

Haven’t tried it windows, yet its definitely possible. A how to on setup of svn1.3 should be work for 1.4 also. The main purpose of using 1.4+ is that it allows us to have a mirror repository. May be this should help

I was wondering how do I go about installing SVN 1.4 on Apache 2.2 on Windows? Any site or information you can recommend? Thanks…
