Compiling Subversion and related binaries with MinGW
====================================================

DOWNLOADS
=========
You need to download the following packages
  MinGW/Msys (with all the "Current" contents of
              http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml)

  The following packages are suffixed with tar.gz and or tar.bz2:
  zlib-1.2.1
  db-4.2.52
  OpenSSL-0.9.7c
  (OpenSSH-3.7.1p2)
  neon-0.24.4
  apache-2.0.48
  Subversion-0.35.1.tar.gz

MINGW and MSYS
==============
Install MinGW and Msys


MAKING PACKAGES
===============
Fire up msys and cd to where you have your source packages:


ZLIB
----
 1)  Unpack zlib in msys and cd to the top source dirctory.
 2)  $ make -f win32/Makefile.gcc
 3)  a) copy zlib1.dll to your somwhere in your path (i.e MinGW/bin)
     b) copy libzdll.a and libz.a to your MinGW/lib
     c) copy zlib.h and zconf.h to MinGW/include

BERKELEY DB
-----------
 1)  Unpack db in msys and cd to build_unix

 2)  Configure and make db (--enable-cxx is optional):
     $ ../dist/configure --enable-cxx  --enable-mingw && make

 3)  Make dlls (see: http://www27.brinkster.com/meilof/ if you want more info)
     a) Make c dlls:
        $ dllwrap -o .libs/libdb.dll --def ../build_win32/libdb.def util_sig.o util_log.o util_cache.o .libs/libdb-4.2.a
     b) Make c++ dlls (if you did --enable-cxx on ../dist/configure):
	    cd to .libs and:
        $ echo EXPORTS > libdb_cxx.def
        $ nm libdb_cxx-4.2.a | grep 'T _' | sed 's/.* T _//' >> libdb_cxx.def
        $ dllwrap -o libdb_cxx.dll --def libdb_cxx.def libdb_cxx-4.2.a --driver-name=g++

 4)  Install db (adapt the paths to your system):
     a) Do this if you want the files aviable for your Windows system, if not
        then go to step b
          $ cp *.exe /e/mingw/mingw/bin
          $ cp *.a /e/mingw/mingw/lib
          $ cp *.h /e/mingw/mingw/include
          $ cp .libs/*.dll /e/mingw/mingw/bin
          $ cp .libs/*.a /e/mingw/mingw/lib
      b) $ make install
           This will install db to /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.2


OPENSSL
-------
 1) cd to source directory of openssh

 2) Open a native Windows console window (a so called DOS box) from the source
    directory of openssh and run:
      > ms\mingw32

    exit the console window.

 3) cd to source directory of openssh with msys and install the goodies:
      $ cp *.dll /e/mingw/mingw/bin
      $ cp out/*.exe /e/mingw/mingw/bin
      $ cp out/*.a /e/mingw/mingw/lib
      $ cp include/openssl/* /e/mingw/mingw/include/openssl/

 4)


NEON
----
  I tried this from msys and did not manage to make it work:
      $ ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-ssl --disable-debug --enable-shared=yes
