Subversion 1.14.1 build problem
Gretton, Liam
I'm rebuilding our Subversion server, getting it up to date after a fair period of neglect.
I'm finding that 1.41.1 has a problem somewhere in its SQLite code and fails at the make stage. 1.10.7 succeeds with exactly the same build process and dependencies.
I'm using CentOS 7, but with Apache 2.4.8, APR 1.7.0, APR-util 1.6.1 and SQLite 3.36.0.
cd subversion-1.14.1
unzip ../sqlite-amalgamation-3360000.zip
mv sqlite-amalgamation-3360000.zip sqlite-amalgamation
./configure --prefix=/local/software/subversion-1.14.1 \
--with-lz4=internal \
--with-utf8proc=internal \
--with-apxs=/local/software/httpd/bin/apxs \
--with-apr=/local/software/bin \
--with-apr-util=/local/software/bin
make

Any idea what I can do to get past this?
Thanks,

I reproduce this behaviour.
As far as I can tell this is a bug in SQLite. The offending function
was added 2021-04-02 [1] and it seems to be hidden by #ifdef
SQLITE_OMIT_WAL. There is a reference to the same error in the SQLite
forums [2] with a suggestion to leave out SQLITE_OMIT_WAL on
compilation.
It seems to be possible to restore the old behaviour by reverting our
r1865523 (which is defining SQLITE_OMIT_WAL, triggering the build
failure). I'm adding Evgeny Kotkov, author of r1865523, for a second
pair of eyes, but I don't think that we are doing anything wrong.
I think it should also be possible to use an older version of SQLite
(released before 2021-04-02).
Kind regards,
Daniel

Thanks very much for your reply, I've been able to build 1.14.1 with sqlite-amalgamation 3.35.
I'll keep an eye on SQLite releases to see if this gets fixed, I see 3.37.0 is due out in a couple of weeks.

it in the future:
https://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.14.html#issues-other-sqlite-3-36
It also affects 1.13 but that release is EOL.
