Yes, I can understand the frustration now. However, this is as far as I can
help. APR's static libraries need to be including these dependencies in its
library, ideally, to avoid any unnecessary complication on SVN's side.
Linking static libraries with other static libraries has proven to have its
own set of problems, but in some circumstances it can save some work. The
patch, as is, just so happens to work well for the libraries themselves. If
the SVN project is still not linking, then it needs to personally include
those dependencies you speak of. How to do this will require a bit more work
on the python scripts, but I don't have the time to try to get SVN building.
My goal was to get the svn libraries compiling against the correct
libraries. Perhaps someone else can pick this up where I left off and get
SVN working?
Sorry to half-ass this, but it's starting to go beyond the problem I
originally wanted to solve.
