I tried compiling your branch on Windows (XP) with Visual C++ Express
2008 (which I also use successfully to build trunk). I had a couple of
issues. FWIW I'm listing them here. I'm not an expert, just
pragmatically trying to get the thing to build, so some of these
things may be "user error". Eventually, I was able to build svn.exe,
but svnadmin.exe and svnserve.exe still fail for me.

1) In build.conf, I added private\svn_temp_serializer.h and
private\svn_file_handle_cache.h to the list of msvc-export of
libsvn_subr. Otherwise, the linker gave problems:

Here's a patch that solves this for me:

2) The NULL in svn_temp_serializer__set_NULL in svn_temp_serializer_h
also gave the linker a hard time:

libsvn_fs_fs-1.lib(dag.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external
symbol _svn_temp_serializer__set_NULL referenced in function
_svn_fs_fs__dag_serialize
..\..\..\Debug\subversion\libsvn_fs\libsvn_fs-1.dll : fatal error
LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals

Changing the NULL to null (and updating callers) fixed that.

3) In function store_current_end_pointer in svn_temp_serializer_c,
target_ptr needs to be declared before the statements.

4) In temp_serializer.c, some of the sizeof statements gave problems for me:

..\..\..\subversion\libsvn_fs_fs\temp_serializer.c(274): error C2057:
expected constant expression
..\..\..\subversion\libsvn_fs_fs\temp_serializer.c(274): error C2466:

..\..\..\subversion\libsvn_fs_fs\temp_serializer.c(424): warning
C4034: sizeof returns 0

I changed them as follows (not sure if this is correct, but this compiles ok):

5) Got the following error from mod_dav_svn/repos.c:
..\..\..\subversion\mod_dav_svn\repos.c(1522): error C4013:
'svn_ctype_isspace' undefined; assuming extern returning int

Adding an #include "svn_ctype.h" fixed that, but I'm not too sure if that's ok.

After these changes, I can get svn.exe to build. For svnadmin and
svnserve, I still get linker errors like:

main.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol
_svn_fs_fs__set_cache_config referenced in function _main
main.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol
_svn_fs_fs__get_cache_config referenced in function _main
..\..\..\Debug\subversion\svnadmin\svnadmin.exe : fatal error LNK1120:
2 unresolved externals

I haven't been able to resolve these ...

Cheers,
