Subversion

Apache projects now use Subversion for version control.
It looks there is no CVS interface, at least from the
web pages like http://jakarta.apache.org/site/cvsindex.html.

To build Tomcat from source, we need many related projects in
binary and source. To obtain a minor Apache/Jakarta project,
it looks we need to create a Subversion.

At least, the developer of Subversion considers it is a successor
of CVS. It is a native program, thus we need to obtain source
and compile it. Subversion itself depends on some apache
projects, like APR...

http://apr.apache.org/
http://apache.acnova.com/apr/apr-1.2.2.tar.gz

APR compilation, installation was not so difficult.

download

http://subversion.tigris.org/

If APR is available, configure and make looks to work, but it
shows message saying it's better to configure APR with Berkley DB.

OK. Downloaded latest release db-4.4.20.

$ cd build_unix
$ ../dist/configure
$ make
# make install

Tried to rebuild apr-1.2.2.

$ ./configure
$ make
# make install

Then, try to make subversion again.
However, I got the same error.

You don't seem to have Berkeley DB version 4.0.14 or newer
installed and linked to APR-UTIL.  We have created Makefiles which
will build without the Berkeley DB back-end; your repositories will
use FSFS as the default back-end.  You can find the latest version of
Berkeley DB here:

Oh, it's talking about apr-util!!

configure: error: APR could not be located. Please use the --with-apr option.

OK. Need to use --with-apr option

$ ./configure --with-apr
:
checking for APR... configure: error: --with-apr requires a directory or file to be provided

The option needs a parameter.

$ ./configure --with-apr=/usr/local/apr

:
$ make
:
chmod 644 /usr/local/apr/lib/libaprutil-1.a

Libraries have been installed in:
   /usr/local/apr/lib

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
   - add LIBDIR to the `SHLIB_PATH' environment variable
     during execution
   - use the `-Wl,+b -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag

See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.

        /opt/imake/bin/install -c -m 644 aprutil.exp /usr/local/apr/lib
        /opt/imake/bin/install -c -m 755 apu-config.out /usr/local/apr/bin/apu-1-config

Oh, I missed a configure option...

   --with-berkeley-db=PATH
     Find the Berkeley DB header and library in \`PATH/include' and
     \`PATH/lib'.  If PATH is of the form \`HEADER:LIB', then search
     for header files in HEADER, and the library in LIB.  If you omit
     the \`=PATH' part completely, the configure script will search
     for Berkeley DB in a number of standard places.

Trying configure again.

$ ./configure --with-apr=/usr/local/apr --with-berkeley-db=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.4

$ make

Finally...

# make install
...
chmod 555 /usr/local/apr/lib/libaprutil-1.sl.2.2
/opt/imake/bin/install -c -m 755 .libs/libaprutil-1.lai /usr/local/apr/lib/libaprutil-1.la
/opt/imake/bin/install -c -m 755 .libs/libaprutil-1.a /usr/local/apr/lib/libaprutil-1.a
ranlib /usr/local/apr/lib/libaprutil-1.a
