    I was not able to compile authorization module. Can you please let me know how can I get it working on windows as authorization is of big importance to me.

    Thanks for nice product, its pretty good.

    Your help is appreciated.

    Regards
    Vishwajeet

      Hi,
      I think it's my fault I have not written that authorization option on Windows is still not tested situation and also not supported in documentation.

      I'm not saying that it could not work, but authorization is depends on nativ SVN (and many other as you see) library and the application SVNSearcher only using prepared module (compiled in C) so we don't have any influence how it works.
      We did not try to compile it on Windows, there was no need (until today =] ) and we take on granted, that over 90% using SVNSearcher is on Linux.
      When new method of authorization in SVN will be available then there won't so many problems and needs to compile anything.

      Apart from that, I'll try to help you to run auth. on Windows.
      If you can't compile it on Win. try to use module compiled on Linux,
      http://iem.pw.edu.pl/~gasparsb/libAuthorization.so
      I've never tried it, but we just see if it has any sense.

      In next couple days I'll try to compile this module on Windows and I'll give a note about results.

      Regards
      Bartek

      Today I tried to run authorization option on Windows,
      and this libAuthorization.so compiled on linux is even not seen as library on Windows.
      It has to be dll file, and looks like it has to be compile on Win = [

      Tomorrow I try to find all libraries and modules (which I used on linux) on Windows version.

      I'll give you note If I knew something.

      Regards
      Bartek

      Yes you are right that authorization library is architecture dependent on underlying operating system. as it's C library it needs to be compiled on same OS on which it is being used.
      Thanks

      Yes, exactly.
      Now I am trying to compile Apache.APR and Apache.APR-UTIL libraires on Windows ...
      and I have some problem to configure C++ environment for it,
      after that I have to find libsvn_repos-1.so  and libsvn_subr-1.so on Windows verison...

      I have only hope, that one compiled Authorization.dll on my Windows will works on yours and all other Win XP = ]If not it will be really poor =[ If every SVNSearcher user will have to make all these things to compile the Authorization.dll library then nobody will wants to use it on Windows.
      I hope that next method on SVN authorization will be easier in use than this.

      Regards
      Bartek

      You are right If users will have to take so much of pain than they will not use it on windows.
      Once you are through with compilation let me know.

      I am close to say, that compile it on Windows is impossible.
      I have many troubles to prepare all needed libraries and environment ...

      Vishwajeet, is there possibility, in your situation, to run SVNSearcher on linux?
      Maybe virtual machine will suitable to run it on Windows, and on it SVNsearcher with authorization?

      Why Windows?  = ]

      If this solution is admitted I can help you to run SVNSearcher (with auth.) on linux,
      it works on linux with any problems.

      Maybe you have SVN serve run on Windows and this is why you want Searcher run on Windows?
      If yes, one needed thing is copy authorization file from WIn. to linux, or have other remote access to them from linux and it will works on linux.

      Hi Bartek,

      My complete setup is on windows server my subversion repositories, svnwebclient bugbase and other things
      so it's near to impossible for me to shift to Linux now otherwise I don't have any issues with Linux.
      People here are not much comfortable with Linux if I start it today they will have tough time maintaining it. Hope you understand that.
      Will try to find some work around.

      Thanks for your support and I wish to support you in development of SVNSearcher though I am not that good in JAVA as you are but still if you need some help please let me know

      Regards
      Vishwajeet Singh

      Ok, I understand Yours situation.

      In free time I will think about run authorization on Windows,
      but I will rather try to find new method of authorization, if it's, of course, only possible.

      If you will have any other problems, or you will want to tell about +/- using SVNSearcher, some suggestions, please write on the forum.

      Regards
      Bartek
