Upgrading to Subversion 1.2.1 on Mac OS X 10.4.2

Today I upgraded my local Subversion install from version 1.2 to 1.2.1. Here are some notes I made during the process. Curiously, this time I didn't have any problems building with GCC 4.0 like I did last time. Never really got to the bottom of that one...

# grab and unpack the source
wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-1.2.1.tar.gz
tar xzvf subversion-1.2.1.tar.gz 
cd subversion-1.2.1/


# stop the server
sudo /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl stop


# clean up libraries from previous versions
sudo rm -f /usr/local/lib/libsvn*
sudo rm -f /usr/local/lib/libapr*
sudo rm -f /usr/local/lib/libexpat*
sudo rm -f /usr/local/lib/libneon*


# work around APR bug (see Subversion FAQ)
ac_cv_func_poll=no; export ac_cv_func_poll


# do the actual build
sh ./autogen.sh 
./configure && make
sudo make install


# restart the server
sudo /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start

[Update: I later found out that I had to rebuild Apache as well in order to work around the APR bug]
