Setting up Subversion 1.5 on Xcode

Up until the release of the iPhone SDK for iPhone OS 2.2, Xcode 3.0 did not work with installations of Subversion 1.5+, but the latest build solves this. Alas, setting up Subversion to work with Xcode requires some extra work. To save you some precious time googling around, I have prepared a brief tutorial to guide you through the process:

Step 1. Download and install the latest iPhone SDK for iPhone OS 2.2 from the iPhone Dev Center. This includes Xcode 3.1.2.

Step 2. Download and install the latest Subversion binaries for Mac OS X from CollabNET

Step 3. Copy and paste the following code into a text file (e.g. “enable-svn.sh”). You can do so with TextEdit.app, but remember to convert the document to plain text before saving it (Format/Make Plain Text).

ln -s -f /opt/subversion/lib/libapr-1.dylib /usr/lib/libapr-1.dylib
ln -s -f /opt/subversion/lib/libapr-1.dylib /usr/lib/libapr-1.0.dylib

ln -s -f /opt/subversion/lib/libsvn_ra_local-1.dylib /usr/lib/libsvn_ra_local-1.dylib
ln -s -f /opt/subversion/lib/libsvn_ra_local-1.dylib /usr/lib/libsvn_ra_local-1.0.dylib

ln -s -f /opt/subversion/lib/libsvn_repos-1.dylib /usr/lib/libsvn_repos-1.0.dylib
ln -s -f /opt/subversion/lib/libsvn_subr-1.dylib /usr/lib/libsvn_subr-1.dylib
ln -s -f /opt/subversion/lib/libsvn_subr-1.dylib /usr/lib/libsvn_subr-1.0.dylib
ln -s -f /opt/subversion/lib/libsvn_delta-1.dylib /usr/lib/libsvn_delta-1.dylib

ln -s -f /opt/subversion/lib/libsvn_diff-1.dylib /usr/lib/libsvn_diff-1.0.dylib

Step 4. Save the previous file on your Desktop. Open a new instance of Terminal.app and then type the following commands on it:

cd Desktop  *press intro*
sudo sh enable-svn.sh  *press intro*

Congratulations! Xcode’s SCM feature will work now with installations of Subversion 1.5 or greater. To learn the basics about using the Subversion integration with Xcode, I recommend you read the section “Using Subversion from Xcode” on the following article:
