Building Subversion with Sun Workshop

Filed under: Tech — Sander @ 5:38 pm

Rather than wade through the morass of dependencies on Sunfreeware.com, I thought I’d build my own Subversion. It turns out that I had to specify a couple of extra hints in order to use the Sun compiler. Here is my configure line:

./configure ‘–prefix=/usr/local/svn-install/current’ ‘–with-ssl’ ‘–with-openssl=/usr/sfw’ ‘CC=/usr/bin/cc’ ‘CXX=/usr/bin/CC’ ‘LDFLAGS=-R/usr/ucblib -R/usr/sfw/lib’

The Neon library needs ssl; the Serf library needs to know about openssl. And without the Reverse Path entries, libraries in neither of those directories are picked up by the installed binaries.

Online TV

Filed under: Stuff — Sander @ 8:16 pm

The Economist has an incisive article on Online TV. Interestingly, I remember having a conversation three years ago about the imminence of Ethernet-connected TVs with social networking built in. What happened? Is it finally coming to us?
