Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I searched the internet. downloaded the subversion-1.6.18.tar.bz2.
But after I run ./configure, the error is
configure: error: failed to recognize APR_INT64_FMT on this platform.
I cannot make the mod_dav_svn.so file.
iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2010), OS X Mavericks (10.9)
I have never built those modules, so it is just 2nd hand knowledge for me.
But typically you can just run apxs tool to configure the source to some Apache module to build and link with your installed build of Apache. These modules are part of Subversion. I assume that the subversion build scripts use apxs to build them. Here is one example of how this is supposed to work. You just need to update that for the version of Subversion that is already on your machine.
Because subversion 1.7.10 has security bug that cannot download, I downloaded and build subversion 1.7.14 and build by command:
sudo ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs
sudo make
Then I copy the mod_dav_svn.so to my current apache modules directory
sudo cp subversion/mod_dav_svn/.libs/mod_dav_svn.so /usr/libexec/apache2/
and run
apachectl -f /etc/apache2/httpd.conf -t
httpd: Syntax error on line 120 of /etc/apache2/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/libexec/apache2/mod_dav_svn.so into server: dlopen(/usr/libexec/apache2/mod_dav_svn.so, 10): Library not loaded: /usr/local/bin/apache2/lib/libaprutil-1.0.dylib\n Referenced from: /usr/local/lib/libsvn_repos-1.0.dylib\n Reason: Incompatible library version: libsvn_repos-1.0.dylib requires version 6.0.0 or later, but libaprutil-1.0.dylib provides version 4.0.0
The line 120 of httpd.conf is
LoadModule dav_svn_module libexec/apache2/mod_dav_svn.so
How to fix it?
After I checked the files in /usr/local/lib, I found all the libsvn* are built at the date when I built subversion 1.8.5.
I should make install the 1.7.14 to override them.
I redo the subversion 1.7.14 and everything is OK now 🙂
sudo tar xvf subversion-1.7.14.tar.bz2
cd subversion-1.7.14
sudo ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-mod-activation --with-openssl --with-zlib --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs
sudo make
sudo make install
apachectl -f /etc/apache2/httpd.conf -t
# the output is Syntax OK
sudo /usr/sbin/apachectl -k restart
Now I can checkout and commit from another computer by http.
Thank all for your help.
I'm still having problems with getting SVN working again over Apache after upgrading to Mavericks from Mountain Lion.
Following the steps that bookstorereader shows above, I get to the "./configure..." step, and only get as far as this message:
checking for Apache module support via DSO through APXS... configure: error: no - APXS refers to an old version of Apache
Unable to locate /usr/include/apache2/mod_dav.h
I've tried a simple "./configure" and "make" with no additional parameters, and other than some innocuous looking warnings, I seem to be able to "make", lots of "making" happens with no error messages, but then when I look for the *.so module files after make is done, I find no .so files, I find no .libs directories.
This is getting very frustrating. Why did Apple decide to take mod_dav_svn and mod_authz_svn away in the first place?
I am the author of the referenced article. An updated edition covering how to get Apache httpd and svn to work together on OS X 10.9 is now available.
The main change is ensuring the appropriate subversion libraries are available for the Apache httpd modules to link with at runtime. This requirement can be easily met with homebrew.
How can I get the mod_dav_svn.so for Mavericks version 10.9
