Missing dependency on Win32 (library libapr.dll)

[jt@…]

I just tried to install trac 0.9.5 on windows in standalone mode but subversion bindings (1.3.0 or 1.3.1 for py2.3, the only directly available versions from tigris.org) fails to load because it lacks some dll (at least libapr.dll and maybe other ones). This is related to subversion but I think this should be addressed in TracOnWindowsStandalone ​http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/wiki/TracOnWindowsStandalone. In fact, the install process on windows is really tedious: I have to find the appropriate libs (libapr.dll and what else) of the approriate version of Apache (2.0.54) for the appropriate version of subversion (1.3.x) for my version of trac… ouch.

The libapr.dll library is brought with the Subversion binaries. There's no need for Apache if you choose to run the standalone daemon (tracd).

The wiki is freely editable, feel free to improve the quality of the doc and add the missing bits and pieces.

This libapr.dll doesn't appear in the python bindings for svn 1.3.2 either… so initenv threw up an error while Creating and Initializing the Project: python.exe - Unable to Locate Component "This application has failed to start because libapr.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem. I'm not doing the stand-alone I'm working with Apache.

Me again (anonymous). For some reason I was looking at the original extracted directory I used and the libapr.dll (among others) was in there. Yet it was not in the location in which my deployed subversion binary directory existed… I copied them over again and it worked. Maybe something along the line moved them out of there. If so it should maybe copy them out of there… thx.

The actual content of the svn-win32-1.3.2.zip archive file looks like:

$ unzip -l svn-win32-1.3.2.zip
