[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=17103460#comment-17103460 ] 

James McCoy commented on SVN-4841:
----------------------------------

{quote}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.{quote}

 They can also backport the relevant patches, like I did for Debian's subversion package.

As for 1.14, it's slated for release in a couple weeks, barring any unforeseen delays.

> 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
