Sam's Updating to SVN 1.8 for Mac OSX 10.8. This is about building in OSX 10.8.

Requirement

1. Xcode command line tool: can be download at Apple's dev center or install command line tool without Xcode.
2. 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.
3. 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)
