#23445: subversion seems to assume apache is already installed - build error for missing programs ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: clemc@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.8.2 Resolution: invalid | Keywords: Port: subversion | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Comment(by clemc@…): JMR: I appreciate your time for answering and thank you for the info on switches and full path. While I'm new to the MacPorts way, I'm hardly a newbie to either UNIX or MacOS X [35 year UNIX guy] etc.... I have been using fink for years and was recently urged by my OS friends at Apple to look at MacPorts. So for this new machine, I'm trying to set up my environment using ports not fink. Please note: the error reported by porticus tells the user use the full path for the debug log - so I admit I'm a tad confused. Also when which "variants" should be checked in Porticus (and ports in general) is easy. I'll not be adding the +darwinXX stuff again if indeed it is not needed. jmr>>Yes, the mac_os_x_server_mod_dav_svn variant does assume that apache2 is already present. .... Sorry for my miss-speak, the issue is that if its required, it's not finding it. This seems to be a path expectation issue. As I said, in my comments I added that that issue seems to be that the one of the tools is assuming /opt/apache2, while port is installing apache2 in /opt/local/apache2 So there seems to be a consistency issue... for a new MacPort users, starting fresh, I suspect others will trip over this also.... and I wonder if I just trip over something that might cause a less experienced person to get stuck. As I said, I solved it with a symlink work around, and then filed the bug report Thanks again, Clem -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/23445#comment:5> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
