Building Subversion for Cool Stack Apache 2.2

1. Install Cool Stack AMP - Apache, MySQL, PHP package (CSKamp): insuring you follow the instructions for Cool Stack 1.2.
2. Install SunStudio Compilers & Tools

This guide makes the following assumptions:

• building Subversion against Cool Stack Apache, using its apr and aprutil.
• uses the SunStudio compiler (cc).
• builds Subversion without Berkeley DB (BDB) - i.e. only FSFS will be available to you.
• builds Subversion's Neon dependency.
• installs libraries into /opt/coolstack/lib and binaries into /opt/coolstack/bin (you should insure your PATH is properly configured).

1. Create a directory to download source code to:

   mkdir -p /opt/src
   cd /opt/src
   

2. Download source:

   wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-1.4.6.tar.gz
   wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-deps-1.4.6.tar.gz
   

3. Unzip the source and switch to the newly-created subversion-1.4.6 directory:

   gtar -xvf subversion-1.4.6.tar.gz
   gtar -xvf subversion-deps-1.4.6.tar.gz
   cd subversion-1.4.6/
   

This version of Subversion requires an older version of neon, neon 0.25. Fortunately it is included in the subversion-deps-1.4.6.tar.gz that you just expanded.

Build neon:

cd /opt/src/subversion-1.4.6/neon/
CC=/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc CFLAGS="-I/opt/coolstack/include" LDFLAGS="-L/opt/coolstack/lib" ./configure --prefix=/opt/coolstack --with-libxml2=/opt/coolstack --with-ssl=openssl
make
make install

Subversion 1.4.6 looks for OpenSSL 0.9.8. You may have another versions installed, but you need 0.9.8.

According to pkgsrc.se, OpenSSL 0.9.8 was released through pkgsrc in late January 2008. In theory, it should be as simple as issuing the following commands:

  <code>
      cd /opt/pkgsrc/security/openssl && bmake install
  </code>

However,

If not, you'll need to build your own OpenSSL:

cd /opt/src
wget http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-0.9.8g.tar.gz
gtar -xvf openssl-0.9.8g.tar.gz
CC=cc CFLAGS="-I/opt/coolstack/include" LD_FLAGS="-L/opt/coolstack/lib" ./config --prefix=/opt/coolstack
make depend
make
make test

cd /opt/src/subversion-1.4.6
CC=cc CFLAGS="-I/opt/coolstack/include" LD_FLAGS="-L/opt/coolstack/lib" ./configure --prefix=/opt/coolstack --with-apxs=/opt/coolstack/apache2/bin/apxs --with-apr=/opt/coolstack/apache2 --with-apr-util=/opt/coolstack/apache2 --with-neon=/opt/coolstack
make
make install

1. fix APXS path to perl:

nano /opt/coolstack/apache2/bin/apxs 
change 
#!/usr/bin/perl /opt/local/bin/perl

1. While building Subversion:

libtool: link: warning: `/usr/local/lib/libexpat.la' seems to be moved

\\Solution: unknown

1. While installing Subversion:

ld.so.1: svnversion: fatal: libssl.so.0.9.8: open failed: No such file or directory
/bin/bash: line 1:  8784 Killed                  subversion/svnversion/svnversion . /repos/svn/trunk >/opt/coolstack/include/subversion-1/svn-revision.txt
gmake: *** [revision-install] Error 137

Solution: build OpenSSL, and if necessary, make sure that your LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set correctly.

SVN binaries (svn, svnadmin, etc.) have been installed to /opt/coolstack/bin. If you wish to use these binaries for managing your Subversion repositories, insure /opt/coolstack/bin is in your Path.

1. Disable Apache if it is already running:

   svcadm disable svc:/network/csk-http
   

2. Check the dav_svn and authz_svn modules have been correctly installed in the filesystem:

   $ cd /opt/coolstack/apache2/modules
   $ ls -l | grep svn
   -rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root         17K Jan 30 18:33 mod_authz_svn.so*
   -rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root        231K Jan 30 18:33 mod_dav_svn.so*
   

3. Open your Apache configuration file (by default, /opt/coolstack/apache2/conf/httpd.conf) and verify that the dav_svn and authz_svn modules have been added (apxs should have done this for you):

   LoadModule dav_svn_module     modules/mod_dav_svn.so
   LoadModule authz_svn_module   modules/mod_authz_svn.so
   

4. In the same file, insure mod_dav is uncommented:

   LoadModule dav_module modules/mod_dav.so
   

5. Test the syntax for your Apache configuration:

   $ /opt/coolstack/apache2/bin/httpd -t
   Syntax OK
   

6. If your configuration looks good, and you're not yet ready to configure a Virtualhost to view your repositories, you can now bring Apache back up:

   svcadm enable svc:/network/csk-http
   

   If you're ready to setup Apache with your repositories, continue to the setting up SVN instructions.
