Subject: building SVN trunk on Windows fails on python gen-make.py
Hi,
I just tried to build
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/branches/svn-mergeinfo-
normalizer
on Windows following the INSTALL file documentation up to the point
where the make file is being generated.
Using this call: python gen-make.py -t vcproj --with-zlib=..\zlib
--with-apr=..\apr --with-apr-util=..\apr-util --vsnet-version=2010
I'm now getting the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "gen-make.py", line 325, in <module> main(conf, gentype,
skip_depends=skip, other_options=rest.list)
File "gen-make.py", line 62, in main generator =
gen_module.Generator(fname, verfname, other_options)
File "build\generator\gen_vcnet_vcproj.py", line 36, in __init__
'vcnet-vcproj')
File "build\generator\gen_win.py", line 83, in __init__
self.find_libraries(True)
File "build\generator\gen_win_dependencies.py", line 286, in
find_libraries self._find_apr()
File "build\generator\gen_win_dependencies.py", line 395, in
_find_apr bin_files = os.listdir(dll_dir)
FileNotFoundError: [WinError 3] The system cannot find the path
specified: '..\\apr\\bin'
Looking at the apr-directory I downloaded/extracted, there's no
apr/bin-directory.
I downloaded the following APR-source package (1.5.1):
http://mirror.serversupportforum.de/apache//apr/apr-1.5.1-win32-src.zip
Did I get the wrong one? Or did I miss some step?
Subversion expects that you already build apr before using it as a source of
binaries to link against. It is not going to build apr for you.
Building APR would have created this bin directory. (A patch to produce a nicer
error message would be welcome :))
There are other scripts that may help you building Subversion and all
dependencies. I maintain one such script as part of SharpSvn (Repository:
https://ctf.open.collab.net/svn/repos/sharpsvn/trunk/imports ; username guest;
no password). This script uses NAnt, and is used to produce the publicly
available binaries for SharpSvn and SlikSvn.
Somewhere in the Subversion repository there is a perl script that should also
be able to help with building on Windows, but I don't have experience with that
script.

As the saying goes "better later than never", as per ur suggestion,
here's a patch which adds some better handling to detect user-errors
when putting just the downloaded source of apr (and/or apr-util) into
the specified folder. Suggested patch for trunk and nomination for 1.9 I
guess.
[[[
Produce human readable error when APR/APR-util wasn't
installed/configured correctly.
* build/generator/gen_win_dependencies.py
(_find_apr,
_find_apr_util): Add detection for missing lib/dll directories,
pointing to
an unconfigured/uninstalled source directory.

Stefan
