    <para><application>Subversion</application> is a version control
    system that is designed to be a compelling replacement for
    <application>CVS</application> in the open source community. It
    extends and enhances <application>CVS</application>' feature set,
    while maintaining a similar interface for those already familiar with
    <application>CVS</application>. These instructions install the client
    and server software used to manipulate a

    <para>If you have <xref linkend="doxygen"/> installed and you wish to
    build the API documentation, issue:
    <command>doxygen doc/doxygen.conf</command>.</para>

    <para>If you passed the <option>--enable-javahl</option> parameter to
    <command>configure</command> and wish to build the Java bindings, issue
    the following command:</para>

<screen><userinput>make javahl</userinput></screen>

    <para>If you have the necessary dependencies installed and you wish to
    build the <application>Perl</application>,
    <application>Python</application> and/or
    <application>Ruby</application> bindings, issue any or all of the following

<screen><userinput>make swig-pl &amp;&amp;
make swig-py &amp;&amp;
make swig-rb</userinput></screen>

    <para>To test the results, issue: <command>make check</command>.</para>

    <para>To test the results of the Java bindings build, issue
    <command>make check-javahl</command>. Note you must have the
    <application>JUnit</application> testing framework installed.</para>

    <para>To test the results of any or all of the

    commands:</para>

<screen><userinput>make check-swig-pl &amp;&amp;
make check-swig-py &amp;&amp;
make check-swig-rb</userinput></screen>

    them:</para>

<screen role='root'><userinput>make install-javahl</userinput></screen>
