Well, I need apache2-devel. That has a dependency on apache2, but I'm not really sure how much of that I need to *build* subversion. The test suite for subversion does actually start apache2 in order to test the subversion module, but if the distro doesn't provide apache2, I suppose I can try to avoid building the module and running those tests. That might remove the dependency on apache2, too. I'll investigate. -- David Rothenberger ---- daver...@acm.org Mark's Dental-Chair Discovery: Dentists are incapable of asking questions that require a simple yes or no answer. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
