How do I install Perl's SVN::Client?
I want to use the SVN::Client cpan module to check out code from a repository.
But how to install and use this module? The documentation is kind of no existing.
I have tried install the Alien::SVN module both through cpan and build it myself. And it seems to install okay. No error messages, and when i go into cpan again and do the following it states that the Alien::SVN module is installed.
cpan> install Alien::SVN
Alien::SVN is up to date.
Here is my class that uses the SVN::Client:
use strict;
use warnings;
use Alien::SVN;
use SVN::Client;
sub new {
my $self = {
localpath => ''
};
bless($self);
return $self;
}
sub update_repository{
my ($self) = @_;
my $svn = SVN::Client->new();
return $svn->update($self->_getPath(), 'HEAD', 1);
}
sub _getPath{
my ($self) = @_;
return $self->{localpath};
}
So when i use a script to call the update repository method of this class i get the following error:
Can't locate SVN/Client.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /opt/STS /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /

I have also tried changing use SVN::Client with use Alien::SVN but with no luck.
Does anyone have a working example of code, or a helpful tip to make the Alien::SVN / SVN::Client work?
Install the package subversion-perl
.
Follow following steps to install Alien-SVN module on you system:
1) Download the latest Alien-SVN module from CPAN http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/M/MS/MSCHWERN/Alien-SVN-v1.6.12.1.tar.gz
2) Untar the file using taz-zxf <Package_name>
3) cd Alien-SVN-v1.6.12.1
4) The Apache Portable Runtime is required by the Alien-SVN. To download APR and APR-Util run time run the following commands while inside Alien-SVN-v1.6.12.1 directory
svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/apr/apr/branches/1.2.x \apr
svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/apr/apr-util/branches/1.2.x \apr-util
5) Now run perl Build.PL
which is inside Alien-SVN-v1.6.12.1 directory
6) It will ask for some options
7) It will ask whether you would like to pass some arguments to configure. Give arguments as follows
--with-apr=<path_where_you_chechek_out_apr>
--with-apr-util=<path_where_you_chechek_out_apr-util>
8) After successfully running Build.PL, run ./Build
Alien-SVN-v1.6.12.1 directory.
9) After running ./Build
, successfully, open native
directory which is located as
Alien-SVN-v1.6.12.1/src/subversion/subversion/bindings/swig/perl/native
10) Run following commands:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make install
11) This will install Alien-SVN on your system :)
As best I can tell, Alien::SVN and its constituent modules are no longer maintained. The subversion binary it compiles is extremely old (1.4, circa 2006). You may be better off piping to a pre-installed (and up-to-date) binary.
cpan> install SVN::Client
