Compile Subversion 1.4.6 on HP-UX Itanium 11.31

[tomby]

Hi,
I am trying to compile an older version of Subversion 1.4.6 on HP-UX Itanium 11.31 and I am running into problems with it not finding zlib files. I do have the zlib depot install on the system. Does anyone know how to fix this?

This is the error mesage I get:
checking for symlink... yes
checking for readlink... yes
checking zlib.h usability... yes
checking zlib.h presence... yes
checking for zlib.h... yes
checking for inflate in -lz... no
configure: error: subversion requires zlib

Thanks

Shalom,

http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Misc/zlib-1.2.3/

Install that and any indicated dependencies.

Be careful because even missing dependencies of dependencies can cause this not to work

I have zlib downloaded and installed from the link provided already. Along with dependencies.

Seems to be some disagreement about this.

As usual, it might help to see the actual
commands you used to do these things.

Looking at the "configure" script and/or its
log files might reveal exactly what it's
looking for, what it did, and what failed
when it did it. Apparently, it's looking
for something zlib-related, but it's not
finding it, or else it's not happy with what
it found.

Where did your zlib stuff get installed?

You may want to include the installed zlib path in $PATH. Also you need to include CPPFLAGS="-I" and --with-zlib= for zlib with configure.

I tried building Subversion 1.6.6 (apparently
the current version), after building zlib
1.2.3 from the sources (and installing in the
default "/usr/local/..." place(s)). That
"configure" script seemed to have no trouble
finding that zlib:

[...]
checking for readlink... yes
checking zlib.h usability... yes
checking zlib.h presence... yes
checking for zlib.h... yes
checking for inflate in -lz... yes
[...]

To me, that looks unwise.

_That_ might be useful, if zlib wasn't
installed in some expected place(s).
