Subversion

**hgtesta** · 07-06-2007, 12:38 PM

Hi,

I installed subversion, and all went ok:

wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloa...n-1.3.2.tar.gz tar -xzvf subversion-1.3.2.tar.gz
cd subversion-1.3.2
./configure --prefix=$HOME --without-berkeley-db --with-zlib --with-ssl
make
make install

(version 1.4 didn't work)

But when i try to connect, he ask for password and say that dir doesn't exists. Anyone else running svn on hostmonster?

thanks!

Henrique

Did you ever get subversion working? I, too, would like to install and use it.

Just follow these steps.

# wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloa...-1.4.6.tar.bz2
# tar xjvf subversion-1.4.6.tar.bz2
# cd subversion-1.4.6
# wget http://apache.karegen.com/apr/apr-1.2.12.tar.bz2
# tar xjvf apr-1.2.12.tar.bz2
# mv apr-1.2.12 apr
# cd apr
# ./buildconf
# ./configure --prefix=$HOME/bin
# make
# make install
# cd ..
# wget http://apache.karegen.com/apr/apr-util-1.2.12.tar.bz2
# tar xjvf apr-util-1.2.12.tar.bz2
# mv apr-util-1.2.12 apr-util
# cd apr-util
# ./buildconf
# ./configure --with-apr=$HOME/bin/bin/apr-1-config --prefix=$HOME/bin
# make
# make install
# cd ..
# ./configure --disable-shared --prefix=$HOME/bin
# make
# make install

..and woila!

Then add those lines in your .bashrc :

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin/bin
export PATH

# cd
# svnadmin create svn

should work.

I created a svn repository and with Tortoise SVN, with svn+ssh method I can checkout, checkin, etc., etc.,.

Hope this helps everyone and I didn't forget any steps.

Thanks heaps. It worked for me. Ill just chuck it in a code block here in case anyone wants to copy it (although check for correct versions and subsititute, since the urls are no longer valid when versions will get updated)

Code:

wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-1.4.6.tar.bz2
tar xjvf subversion-1.4.6.tar.bz2
cd subversion-1.4.6
wget http://apache.karegen.com/apr/apr-1.2.12.tar.bz2
tar xjvf apr-1.2.12.tar.bz2
mv apr-1.2.12 apr
cd apr
./buildconf
./configure --prefix=$HOME/bin
make
make install
cd ..
wget http://apache.karegen.com/apr/apr-util-1.2.12.tar.bz2
tar xjvf apr-util-1.2.12.tar.bz2
mv apr-util-1.2.12 apr-util
cd apr-util
./buildconf
./configure --with-apr=$HOME/bin/bin/apr-1-config --prefix=$HOME/bin
make
make install
cd ..
./configure --disable-shared --prefix=$HOME/bin
make
make install

also, you will probably need to add ~/bin/bin to $PATH since this is where svn gets installed
A quick and dirty way to permanently do this (should clean up .bash_profile later) is:

Code:

echo "PATH=\$PATH:\$HOME/bin/bin/" >> ~/.bash_profile
echo "export PATH" >> ~/.bash_profile
source ~/.bash_profile

after this, you should be able to run svn:

Code:

svn

since the svn port is not open, I was hoping ssh tunneling would work,
but svn+ssh doesn't work, I am getting this error:

bash: svnserve: command not found
svn: Connection closed unexpectedly

because my bin folder is not in the default path?

Also, has anyone been able to get svn working with apache?

You need to make sure that the PATH to svn binaries is in your
.bashrc file and not your .bash_profile.

For ancient reasons they compartmentalized them, but most people these days just put everything in to .bashrc and then add this line to .bash_profile

source .bashrc

.bash_profile is only loaded if you actually have a "login" session.
.bashrc is always loaded for your user

Also, you need to build svn with the serf library so http protocols work, for checking out etc. I don't know if you would need it for pushing up to the server as I use bzr instead of svn for source control.

Summary:

First:

add bin path to .bashrc

If that doesn't work:

Build svn with:
apr
apr-util
serf (neon doesn't seem to work)

Thanks Moniker. It's exactly as you described.

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin was set from .bash_profile. When I moved it to .bashrc, svn+ssh worked.

OK .. I followed the direction, and I *think* I installed subversion correctly. But I want to confirm couple things.
First, Which directory do I need to install subversion? I installed it in the root directory. Did I do it correctly? Or it doesn't even matter.

Second, I am also trying to install WebSVN but I keep having this error

Error running this command: svn --config-dir /tmp --version
sh: svn: command not found

Does anyone know what this error mean and how I can fix this?

To get Subversion installed on my account, I did the following:

For WebDAV access (access as in read, not in serve) to work, you need both Neon and BerkeleyDB. These are installed by doing the following:

BerkeleyDB:

Code:

cd
wget http://download.oracle.com/berkeley-db/db-4.5.20.tar.gz
tar -zxvf db-4.5.20.tar.gz
cd db-4.5.20/build_unix
../dist/configure --prefix=$HOME/usr
make -j8
make install

Neon (Subversion 1.4.6 needs Neon 0.25.5, so don't be a smartass and download the newest version):

Code:

cd
wget http://www.webdav.org/neon/neon-0.25.5.tar.gz
tar -zxvf neon-0.25.5.tar.gz
cd neon-0.25.5
 ./configure --prefix=$HOME/usr --with-ssl=openssl
make -j8
make install

To make sure that all the binaries and libraries are found, do the following to add the right paths to your .bashrc

Code:

echo "export PATH=\$PATH:\$HOME/usr/bin" >> ~/.bashrc
echo "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=\$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:\$HOME/usr/lib" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

Now install Subversion (you also need APR stuff).

Code:

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

First install APR (inspired by this thread)

Code:

### Included from earlier post in this thread
wget http://apache.karegen.com/apr/apr-1.2.12.tar.bz2
tar -jxvf apr-1.2.12.tar.bz2
mv apr-1.2.12 apr
cd apr
./buildconf
./configure --prefix=$HOME/usr
make -j8
make install
cd ..
wget http://apache.karegen.com/apr/apr-util-1.2.12.tar.bz2
tar -jxvf apr-util-1.2.12.tar.bz2
mv apr-util-1.2.12 apr-util
cd apr-util
./buildconf
./configure --with-apr=$HOME/usr/bin/apr-1-config --prefix=$HOME/usr
make -j8
make install
cd ..

Now, Subversion installation continues

Code:

./configure --disable-shared --prefix=$HOME/usr --with-berkeley-db=$HOME/usr --with-neon=$HOME/usr
make -j8
make install

Now, you can remove all the source directories used:

Code:

cd
rm db-4.5.20.tar.gz
rm -rf db-4.5.20
rm neon-0.25.5.tar.gz
rm -rf neon-0.25.5
rm subversion-1.4.6.tar.gz
rm -rf subversion-1.4.6

And you're done!

The full script if you're lazy:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/bash

cd
wget http://download.oracle.com/berkeley-db/db-4.5.20.tar.gz
tar -zxvf db-4.5.20.tar.gz
cd db-4.5.20/build_unix
../dist/configure --prefix=$HOME/usr
make -j8
make install

cd
wget http://www.webdav.org/neon/neon-0.25.5.tar.gz
tar -zxvf neon-0.25.5.tar.gz
cd neon-0.25.5
 ./configure --prefix=$HOME/usr --with-ssl=openssl
make -j8
make install

echo "export PATH=\$PATH:\$HOME/usr/bin" >> ~/.bashrc
echo "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=\$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:\$HOME/usr/lib" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

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

### Included from earlier post in this thread
wget http://apache.karegen.com/apr/apr-1.2.12.tar.bz2
tar -jxvf apr-1.2.12.tar.bz2
mv apr-1.2.12 apr
cd apr
./buildconf
./configure --prefix=$HOME/usr
make -j8
make install
cd ..
wget http://apache.karegen.com/apr/apr-util-1.2.12.tar.bz2
tar -jxvf apr-util-1.2.12.tar.bz2
mv apr-util-1.2.12 apr-util
cd apr-util
./buildconf
./configure --with-apr=$HOME/usr/bin/apr-1-config --prefix=$HOME/usr
make -j8
make install
cd ..

./configure --disable-shared --prefix=$HOME/usr --with-berkeley-db=$HOME/usr --with-neon=$HOME/usr
make -j8
make install

cd
rm db-4.5.20.tar.gz
rm -rf db-4.5.20
rm neon-0.25.5.tar.gz
rm -rf neon-0.25.5
rm subversion-1.4.6.tar.gz
rm -rf subversion-1.4.6

Copy-paste to ~/install_svn.sh, then do:

Code:

chmod +x ~/install_svn.sh
~/install_svn.sh

And the magic starts!

You're left with a ~70MB ~/usr dir and a fully working copy of Subversion.

I redid this turorial because I needed WebDAV access (svn:externals).

Good luck!
