The key is to build static otherwise svn and svnsync command coredump ...
The problem now is that the subversion server is very very slow, it is not a cpu problem, more a networking I think (the cpu is idle).
I'm using svnserve (svnserve -d), it is my usual setup on other platform and I never experienced any slowness (but it wasn't svn 1.5).
I wounder if dev/random should be symbolic linked to urandom, so all dependent programs get a boost. Well until dev/random is fixed. I don't see the less random dev/urandom as a large security problems.
Is their some ReadyNAS dev around that can add your bins as some sorta plug-in for us all to use? don't get me wrong, cross compiling is fun... but it takes CPU cycles away from the video games and video watching.
Did you use the following configure statement? ./configure --build=sparc-linux --enable-all-static --with-ssl --without-serf --with-zlib=/usr/local --with-devrandom=/dev/urandom
The slowness is due to /dev/random that is VERY slow on this machine.
"When the entropy pool is empty, reads from /dev/random will block until additional environmental noise is gathered. (Source: Linux Programmer's Manual, section 4)"
So apparently the environmental noise density contributing to the entropy pool is very slight on these boxes. Using /dev/urandom seems like a perfectly acceptable alternative here.
/* sidebar: I believe it was Robert Coveyou who said "The generation of random numbers is far too important to be left to chance." But my favorite geekjoke about random numbers is in the form of a cartoon depicting a random-number generator function like this:
int getRandomNumber() { return 4; // chosen by fair dice roll // guaranteed to be random }
Disclaimer: I'm new to ReadyNAS and linux. I'm trying this with the latest subversion 1.5.1 files. This is what I've done so far:
1. started with a fresh factory default ReadyNAS (RAIDiator 4.1.3-T136 [1.00a146] in X-RAID) 2. downloaded EnableRootSSH and APT from here 3. installed those .bin files via FrontView, System>Update>Local 4. logged into my ReadyNAS via SSH (putty) 5. apt-get update 6. apt-get install nano (I'm not a vi wizard) 7. apt-get install gcc 8. wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-1.5.1.tar.gz 9. wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-deps-1.5.1.tar.gz 10. tar xvzf subversion-1.5.1.tar.gz 11. tar xvzf subversion-deps-1.5.1.tar.gz 12. rm *.gz (why keep the tarballs?) 13. cd subversion-1.5.1/zlib/ 14. ./configure && make test && make install
This is where I get stuck. Here is the error dump:

Any ideas what I'm missing? It looks like I'm missing some important header files (stdio, string, stdlib). How do I get those? And where do I put them?
Also, if I can get the above working and continue on with the subversion installation, what are the steps needed to replace /dev/random with /dev/urandom in apr?
Yeah, I had this problem you have to install dev-libc or somthing , if you go to the how to's on the readynas home page and follow the instructions for setting up a development environment first you will be ok
Also I did not change the dev/urandom and it works fine for me it's not slow at all, I could not get it to work with https though once built i use ssh+svn instead. Let me know if it works with https for you
Okay, I've gotten farther, but still error out. These are the steps I've taken:
1. started with a fresh factory default ReadyNAS 1100 (RAIDiator 4.1.3-T136 [1.00a146] in X-RAID) 2. downloaded EnableRootSSH and APT from here 3. installed those .bin files via FrontView, System>Update>Local 4. logged into my ReadyNAS via SSH (putty) 5. apt-get update (see http://www.readynas.com/?p=145 for details - thanks ianadavies) apt-get install nano apt-get install libc6-dev apt-get install gcc apt-get install gdb apt-get install libtag1-dev (this one gave me errors)
Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies: libtag1-dev: Depends: libtag1 (= 1.4-2bpo2.netgear1) but 1.4-2bpo2.netgear2 is to be installed E: Broken packages
apt-get install uuid-dev 6. wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/ ... 5.1.tar.gz 7. wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/ ... 5.1.tar.gz 8. tar xvzf subversion-1.5.1.tar.gz 9. tar xvzf subversion-deps-1.5.1.tar.gz 10. rm *.gz (why keep the tarballs?) 11. cd subversion-1.5.1/zlib/ 12. ./configure && make test && make install (this is where I got stuck last time but ianadavies pointed me in the right direction) 13. cd .. 14. ./configure --build=sparc-linux --enable-all-static --with-ssl --without-serf --with-zlib=/usr/local
If I understand correctly, at this point my ReadyNAS started chugging along creating the proper configuration for subversion on my machine.
By the way, one of the status lines I got was
checking for entropy source... /dev/urandom
Does this mean that I don't need to worry about the /dev/random vs /dev/urandom issue mentioned in previous posts?
Eventually, however, the configuration erred out with the following (I've cut and pasted the last dozen lines of the 1000+ output lines):
configure: IPv6 support is enabled checking for working AI_ADDRCONFIG... yes checking for socklen_t... yes checking for struct tm.tm_gmtoff... yes checking for struct tm.__tm_gmtoff... no configure: zlib not enabled checking whether to enable ACL support in neon... yes checking for pkg-config... no checking for library containing RSA_new... not found configure: error: could not find library containing RSA_new configure failed for neon
There were a few other questionable configuration outputs but I'm not sure if they were actually errors or just standard occurrences. I can provide the entire output line dump if necessary.
Does anyone have any insights that might help with this?
cd subversion-1.5.4/zlib ./configure && make test && make install cd .. ./configure --build=sparc-linux --enable-all-static --with-ssl --without-serf --with-zlib=/usr/local --with-devrandom=/dev/urandom make make check
56 tests out of 56 must run successfully.
make install
And it is working very well :lol:
For the record I use svnserve (svn protocol), this build don't create the apache module but anyway for a NAS I think it is MUCH better to use a svnserve as it lightweight as faster.
Had the exact same problems. I finally made it make after:
Reinstalling APT addon (the latest seems to be dated 2008-10-31) in order to get the most recent and most correct sources.lists file. Adding all libraries as described in the setting up development environment howto.
Running: apt-get install python (the tests depends on python) apt-get install coreutils (some stuff in configure is dependent on the uniq command) apt-get install libtool (Might have something to do with our problem below)
Make sure that you do ./configure with all options again.

The zlib build worked fine so all libs should be in place...
For the record I use svnserve (svn protocol), this build don't create the apache module but anyway for a NAS I think it is MUCH better to use a svnserve as it lightweight as faster.
But now I have problems with authenticating. I edited the two files as suggested, but perhaps I did not enter the proper information. Here they are:
For svnserve.conf, I simply uncommented all the options. I had no reasoning behind do so, so if you can advise something more intelligent, I'll go with it. Snipped (...) for brevity.
svn@nas-01-B5-6B:~/repository/conf$ cat passwd ### This file is an example password file for svnserve. ### Its format is similar to that of svnserve.conf. As shown in the ### example below it contains one section labelled [users]. ### The name and password for each user follow, one account per line.
This was my first time setting up a SVN repository. If I have some spare time, I'll compile all the details and publish an article "SVN Setup (on ReadyNAS NV+) for Newbies".

My god, you are good! 🙂 I've been banging my head against the wall for weeks over this...
