I am having trouble compiling subversion 1.8.0 using "--with-serf=/home/myUserName/local".
Serf is installed in /home/myUserName/local. The serf files with serf in their name are: /home/myUserName/local/include/serf-1 /home/myUserName/local/include/serf-1/serf.h /home/myUserName/local/include/serf-1/serf_bucket_types.h /home/myUserName/local/include/serf-1/serf_bucket_util.h /home/myUserName/local/lib/libserf-1.so /home/myUserName/local/lib/libserf-1.so.0 /home/myUserName/local/lib/pkgconfig/serf-1.pc /home/myUserName/local/lib/libserf-1.la /home/myUserName/local/lib/libserf-1.a /home/myUserName/local/lib/libserf-1.so.0.0.0 The subversion configure finds the serf.h file so I have the path correct. It is complaining about "serf_context_create in -lserf-1" and dies. ./configure --prefix=/home/myUserName/local --with-serf=/home/myUserName/local/ (bunch of output deleted) checking for inttypes.h... yes checking for stdint.h... yes checking for unistd.h... yes configure: serf library configuration via prefix checking serf.h usability... yes checking serf.h presence... yes checking for serf.h... yes checking for serf_context_create in -lserf-1... no configure: serf library configuration via pkg-config checking for serf-2 library... no checking for serf-1 library... no checking was serf enabled... no An appropriate version of serf could not be found, so libsvn_ra_serf will not be built. If you want to build libsvn_ra_serf, please install serf 1.2.1 or newer. configure: error: Serf was explicitly enabled but an appropriate version was not found. I compiled and installed serf with: wget https://serf.googlecode.com/files/serf-1.2.1.tar.bz2 tar -xvf serf-1.2.1.tar.bz2 cd serf-1.2.1 ./configure --prefix=/home/myUserName/local make install It looks to me like things are set up properly. What is the "serf_context_create in -lserf-1" check all about and what must I do to satisfy this check? Thanks, Michael
