[jira] [Commented] (SVN-4841) Subversion fails to compile with ruby-2.7

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-4841?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17103442#comment-17103442 ] 

Anatol Pomozov commented on SVN-4841:
-------------------------------------

I do not know the decision making arguments behind the current Subversion's maintenance schedule. But I wonder if there is a chance to make a point release for the latest released version - 1.13. A lot of distros (including Arch Linux that I am focusing at) use 1.13 and it will be helpful for them to get SWIG4, ruby27 and other fixes.

Or maybe 1.14 can be released in the nearest future?

> After some debugging I found that ruby-2.7 introduced a new file under '/usr/include/ruby-2.7.0/ruby/assert.h' and subversion build includes path '/usr/include/ruby-2.7.0/' before standard includes path. Thus ruby's version of "assert.h" gets included and it contains no definition of assert() function.
>  
> Is it something you can fix?

> I feel that /usr/include/ruby-2.7.0/ include path should be enough for subversion. No need to include /usr/include/ruby-2.7.0/ruby and /usr/include/ruby-2.7.0/backward in build/ac-macros/swig.m4
