This post is about how to compile the latest SVN source (1.8.3) on OSX Mavericks (OSX 10.9).
References
Sam's Updating to SVN 1.8 for Mac OSX 10.8. This is about building in OSX 10.8.
Requirement
- Xcode command line tool: can be download at Apple's dev center or install command line tool without Xcode.
- Setup the Tool chain:
sudo ln -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/ /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/OSX10.9.xctoolchain
The key is to link the toolchain to reflect new version # of Maverick, which is 10.9.
- The SVN source: can be download form Apache SVN project.
Here's straight way in command:
cd ~/Downloads/
curl -o subversion-1.8.3.tar.gz http://archive.apache.org/dist/subversion/subversion-1.8.3.tar.gz
tar -xvf subversion-1.8.3.tar.gz
Build and Install SVN
Build serf
First we will need to build serf, included in the subversion package.
cd ~/Downloads/subversion-1.8.3
sh get-deps.sh serf
cd serf/
./configure
make
sudo make install
Build SVN
Go back up to the SVN source root, and build it using serf. Depend on your hardware, it might takes awhile. If you need a coffee, this is good time to do so once you start the make.
cd ..
./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-serf=/usr/local/serf
make
sudo make install
Wrap it up
Now you've the new SVN 1.8.3 installed at /usr/local/bin. Make sure your path includes it. From there you should able to:
svn --version
And here you go:
svn, version 1.8.3 (r1516576)
