+I build subversion using the dependencies package (subversion-deps-1.4.4.tar.gz) provided on the subversion website.
+
+On linking, gcc spits out errors like this one:
+
+{{{
+undefined reference to `svn_ra_local__init'
+}}}
+
+The libraries containing the referred functions have been built, but it seems the makefile somehow forgets to link them in. This is linked to the following warning:
+
+{{{
+libtool: link: warning: undefined symbols not allowed in i586-pc-beos shared libraries
+}}}
+
+The configure script can easily be modified to set {{{-no-undefined}}} for BeOS platforms, like it does for cygwin. At line 19979 in configure, add the part that's preceded with the '+' signs:
+
+{{{
+  echo "$as_me:$LINENO: checking whether libtool needs -no-undefined" >&5
+  echo $ECHO_N "checking whether libtool needs -no-undefined... $ECHO_C" >&6
+  case $host in
+    *-*-cygwin*)
+      echo "$as_me:$LINENO: result: yes" >&5
+  echo "${ECHO_T}yes" >&6
+      LT_NO_UNDEFINED="-no-undefined"
+      ;;
++   *-*-beos*)
++     echo "$as_me:$LINENO: result: yes" >&5
++ echo "${ECHO_T}yes" >&6
++     LT_NO_UNDEFINED="-no-undefined"
++     ;;
++   *)
+      echo "$as_me:$LINENO: result: no" >&5
+  echo "${ECHO_T}no" >&6
+      LT_NO_UNDEFINED=""
+      ;;
+  esac
+}}}
+
+Normally, configure.in should be modified, not configure. I will create a patch for configure.in once I get autoconf ported.
+
+You should not use the option {{{--enable-dso}}}, as it's broken on BeOS.
+
+It's possible to build with SSL support using {{{--with-ssl}}}. Be sure to specify {{{CPPFLAGS}}} and {{{LDFLAGS}}} so that the OpenSSL headers and libs can be found. I successfully built subversion with [http://www.bebits.com/app/4317 OpenSSL 0.9.7j].
+
+{{{make check}}} fails on:
+
+ * file locking
+{{{
+svn_tests: Can't get exclusive lock on file 'test-repo-commit-authz/db/transactions/0-1.txn/rev-lock': Invalid argument
+}}}
+ * most of the python test programs
+{{{
+EXCEPTION: SVNRepositoryCopyFailure
+}}}
+
+  These are also because of the broken locking.
+
+there is no {{{flock()}}} in BeOS. Instead, flock_server (http://www.bebits.com/app/4030) can be used. [wiki:dev-libs/apr] needs to be adjusted to use it (ticket #37).
