 This covers installing subversion from a source tarball, for client-type uses. This document is based on an install of Subversion-1.4.3.tar.gz, but the install procedure should be similar for other versions as well. This does NOT cover installing Subversion as a server - some other steps are required for that. And it does not cover the procedure for compiling the 'bleeding-edges' version of subversion, which is a little different and more complicated (starting with the fact that you need subversion already installed in order to do it...?)

+==== Installing newer versions of Subversion like Subversion 1.8.18 ====
+You'd need apr and apr-util built and installed, as described further above.
+I'm assuming we unpack the following tar.gz files into a ''sources'' folder and put their built installed versions into a ''packages'' folder.
+. **Scons**\\ Grab the tar.gz file at https://sourceforge.net/projects/scons/files/scons-local/2.3.0/
+and unpack into a ''scons'' folder. (Unpacking the tar.gz file directly will put the script files at the same level as the tar.gz.)
+<code>
+cd sources
+mkdir scons
+mv scons-local-2.3.0.tar.gz scons/.
+cd scons
+tar -xvzf scons-local-2.3.0.tar.gz
+(You can put the tar file back to where it used to be)
+</code>
+. **OpenSSL**\\ Grab openssl from https://www.openssl.org/source/ (https://www.openssl.org/source/old/1.0.2/ - grab 1.0.2l for Litre) and unpack into ''sources'' folder.
+<code>
+cd sources
+tar -xvzf openssl-1.0.2l.tar.gz
+cd openssl-1.0.2l
+export CFLAGS="-fPIC $CFLAGS"
+  # the above may or may not be needed for successfully compiling up Serf in step 3.
+  # However the ''shared'' flag to the ./config command below is definitely
+  # the solution that fixed Serf compile failures
+./config --openssldir=/Scratch/ak19/packages/openssl1.0.2l shared
+[For macs, do instead:
+./Configure darwin64-x86_64-cc --openssldir=/Path/To/packages/openssl1.0.2l shared]
+make
+make install
+</code>
+The ''shared'' flag is necessary to successfully compile up serf against openssl hereafter. See the note in the Serf section.
+//**Notes:**// \\ When building openssl for GS, need to create static libs and disable shared libs:\\ ''./config %%--%%openssldir=/Scratch/ak19/packages/openssl1.0.2l no-shared''
+''%%--%%openssldir'' works like ''%%--%%prefix'', but additionally puts ''bin'', ''include'', ''lib'' dirs with the ''openssl'' dir (which includes manuals) in the directory set with ''%%--%%openssldir''.
+''no-shared'' builds as static, turns off shared. So this represents the usual combination of ''%%--%%enable-static %%--%%disable-shared''. See https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Compilation_and_Installation or run ''./configure %%--%%help''
+. **Serf**\\ Grab and unpack serf from http://serf.apache.org/download \\ Then use the unpacked ''scons'' from step 2 to compile and install Serf.
+<code>
+cd sources
+tar -xvjf serf-1.3.9.tar.bz2
+cd serf-1.3.9
+export CFLAGS="-fPIC $CFLAGS"
+  # flow on effect from OpenSSL, may not be required there nor here.
+../scons/scons.py APR=/Scratch/ak19/packages/apr1.6.2 APU=/Scratch/ak19/packages/apr-util1.6.2 OPENSSL=/Scratch/ak19/packages/openssl1.0.2l PREFIX=/Scratch/ak19/packages/serf1.3.9
+../scons/scons.py install
+</code>
+Between the configure and scons install steps, you may not need to bother doing the scons check step in the Serf README:\\ ''../scons/scons.py check'' \\
+The ''scons.py check'' step results in lots of failures, but it may not be essential, see
+https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34231885/serf-1-3-8-install-using-scons-is-failing
+https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01219.html
+At the end of installing serf, the installed version of serf should contain ''lib'' and ''includes'' folders.
+//**Note:**// When compiling up serf, if it fails with the error message
+<code>
+	/usr/bin/ld: /Scratch/ak19/packages/openssl1.0.2l/lib/libssl.a(s23_clnt.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata.str1.1' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
+	/Scratch/ak19/packages/openssl1.0.2l/lib/libssl.a: error adding symbols: Bad value
+</code>
+then it may have nothing to do with exporting CFLAGS with ''-fPIC'' set, since setting this was at least insufficient to make the error go away.\\ Instead, it means that OpenSSL should have been compiled with ''enable-shared'' turned on, i.e. ''./config shared ...'' or ''./config %%--%%shared ...'' in step 2. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1147890/relocation-r-x86-64-32-against-a-local-symbol-error
+. **Subversion**\\ Can now at last compile up a new version of subversion //with serf//:
+<code>
+cd sources
+tar -xvzf subversion-1.8.18.tar.gz
+cd subversion-1.8.18
+</code>

+  #needs to be renamed

+Now proceed with the usual configure, make and make install. There are two locations in the configure command where Serf should be specified:
+<code>
+export CFLAGS="-fPIC $CFLAGS"
+  # flow on effect from OpenSSL, may not be required there nor here.

+[--disable-neon-version-check and --with-neon are no longer recognised.]
+Try adding: --enable-shared
+make
+make install

+//**Note:**// You //need// to prepend to the ''./configure'' command the ''LDFLAGS'' set to the installed Serf's ''lib'' subfolder, else you'll be stuck always exporting ''LD_LIBRARY_PATH'' when running SVN, or exporting ''LD_LIBRARY_PATH'' from ''~/.bashrc''.

+. Add the installed SVN's bin folder to the PATH, such as by exporting it in ''~/.bashrc'', before running svn commands. In ''~/.bashrc'':
