Build results: [binary] [files list]

Build sequence:

Deployment hack
(touch some files in order to include them to the package)

dev# find /mnt/C/sys/share/ -path "*git*" -type f -exec touch {} \;
dev# find /mnt/C/sys/lib/ -path "*Git*" -type f -exec touch {} \;

box# svnserve -d -r /mnt/C/sys/var/svn/<project>

(or simply: box# git svn init svn://localhost/<project> )
box# git svn fetch

Error 1

perl: Can't resolve symbol 'apr_initialize'

can be replicated as follows:

box# perl -e "use SVN::Core"

Inspect dependencies:

dev# ldd /mnt/C/sys/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/SVN/_Core/_Core.so
...
libapr-1.so.0 => /mnt/C/sys/apache2/lib/libapr-1.so.0 (0x00000000)
...
dev# nm /mnt/C/sys/apache2/lib/libapr-1.so.0 | grep apr_initialize
00013c18 T apr_initialize

Everything seem to be ok, maybe the libraries are loaded in a wrong order...

# export LD_PRELOAD=/mnt/C/sys/apache2/lib/libapr-1.so.0

... error 1 fixed, but there is one more ...
Error 2

perl: Can't resolve symbol 'svn_swig_pl_get_current_pool'

can be replicated as follows:

box# perl -e "use SVN::Wc; SVN::Wc::adm_open3(undef, '.', 0, 0);"

Another pre-load needed:

box# export LD_PRELOAD=$LD_PRELOAD:/mnt/C/sys/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/SVN/_Core/_Core.so

Problem fixed - not saying that the fix is a proper solution, but I use the export only for repo conversion.
