*** Error code 1

Stop in /var/upload/serf-0.2.0.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
How can I make and make install it without such stop?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
serf-0.2.0
apr-1.3.2
apr-util-1.3.2

Please provide any additional information below.
FreeBSD system.

I tried serf-0.1.2, and it did not work too.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Any particular reason you are using ports ?

cd /usr/ports/www/serf
sudo make all install clean

done.

Also, if you are going to do it by hand, pass the full path to apr-1-config and
apu-1-config not the installdir.

I'm trying to compile Subversion 1.5.1 from source, and it fails for me with 
the same issue as well. Same exact 
failure. Downloading the code from googlecode does the same thing.

On FreeBSD 4.11, both gcc 2.95 and 4.04 fail (crt1.o dated Jan21 2005)

On MacOSX 10.4.11,  it succeeds (crt1.o is dated Sept 11 2006).

I'd try updating the crt.o file if I knew what library package to download.

Have you tried using GNU make and not BSD make?

Original comment by justin.e...@gmail.com on 18 Aug 2008 at 1:33

[GoogleCodeExporter]

You can do

./configure --without-serf

to get the subversion and deps packages to build on FreeBSD.  I am not using 
web 
access so I think not having serf doesnt affect me.

I was getting the same error (undefined reference to `main') when trying to 
compile
on AIX (5.3 and 6.1).  Once I used GNU make instead of the default AIX make,
everything compiled and installed correctly.

Thanks to comment #6, I was able to compile on AIX platform. Same problem here: 
it was 
impossible until I used the GNU tools under /opt/freeware/bin (notably make).

Cheers

We will probably eliminate the autotools support and toolchain, in favor of the 
serfmake script or possibly Scons. 
But until we do that, I'll take a look at why BSD make is messing things up.
