Having some time finally to work on building SVN (thanks all who
helped me get this far), I setup a VM with Ubuntu. (Also setup a

Knowing little about linux, I managed to get this far, the results of
make checks
Last part of the make check:
At least one test FAILED, checking
/home/svn/Documents/subversion-1.14.0/tests.log
FAIL: error-test 3: test svn_error_symbolic_name
FAIL: locks-test 14: lock/unlock when 'write-lock' couldn't be obtained
FAIL: commit_tests.py 48: set revision props during remote property edit
FAIL: prop_tests.py 1: write/read props in wc only (ps, pl, pdel, pe)
FAIL: prop_tests.py 16: property operations on a URL
FAIL: update_tests.py 38: update --accept automatic conflict resolution
Summary of test results:
2508 tests PASSED
162 tests SKIPPED
81 tests XFAILED (17 WORK-IN-PROGRESS)
6 tests FAILED
Python version: 3.8.5.
SUMMARY: Some tests failed
Are these errors something I need to dig into, indicating that my
build is no good? I was reading in the "INSTALL" document, there is
mention that some errors are expected. Is there a way to determine if
these are expected errors?
Expected test failures are tagged as XFAIL, not FAIL. So these are
"real" failures. Also the summary line would read "All tests succeeded"
if there were only expected failures.
You should look at tests.log (the test driver hepfully prints the whole
path) to see why those tests failed, it could be something trivial. It's
not likely that there's a problem with the code, we'd have noticed that.
