title: Build all static svn client on Mac OSX, error on mod_dav_svn.so
body: <p>I'm trying to build svn client on Mac OS 10.7.5. My aim is to build svn client completely static so it would not depend on any dylib to be installed. The idea is that the svn client could be copied to a disk on key, or downloaded and will work without need to install or configure anything.</p>
  
  <p>I downloaded the svn source code (subversion-1.7.8) and all the required dependencies (apr, par-util, neon, sqlite-amalgamation) and stated the configure - make - make install cycle.</p>
  
  <p>Svn's configure option has <strong>--enable-all-static</strong> flag that creates the svn client that does not depend on external dylibs. However the build always fails with the following message:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Warning!  dlname not found in /Volumes/mydisk/build/svn/libexec/mod_dav_svn.la.
  Assuming installing a .so rather than a libtool archive.
  chmod 755 /Volumes/mydisk/build/svn/libexec/mod_dav_svn.so
  chmod: /Volumes/mydisk/wsvn/build/svn/libexec/mod_dav_svn.so: No such file or directory
  apxs:Error: Command failed with rc=65536
  .
  make: *** [install-mods-shared] Error 1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It seems that the build is looking for mod_dav_svn.so even when it is not needed and everything compiles static.</p>
  
  <p>Funny thing is that the svn client that was build actually runs! I would like however, to complete the build &amp; install properly.</p>
  
  <p>My questions are:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Is this build error a real one or just something I can ignore?</li>
  <li>How can I avoid this build error, in order to complete the build?</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
