AW: Making the Windows Build Easier

Hi,

Berts SharpSVN build also includes a way to pull all the dependencies, using msbuild.

However, it does not work with the express editions yet, AFAICS, so your script clearly has at least one advantage. :-)

Will it work using the VS 2010 command prompt?

Best regards

> b) Download http://ben.reser.org/svn-windows-deps/svn-trunk-deps-win32-
> release-20130413.7z

> You may need Perl but I'm not sure, I had it on my setup since I was

> http://ben.reser.org/svn-windows-deps/svn-trunk-deps-win32-release-
> 20130413.7z.asc
>
> 2) Get Subversion's source. At this point I haven't tested this with
> anything other than trunk, so you'll need a Subversion client to do a
> checkout.
>
> 3) Configure Subversion. In the VS2012 Command Prompt cd into the
> Subversion source you checked out and run the following (adjusting the
> paths so that C:\Users\breser\svn-trunk-deps is wherever you put the
> dependencies:
> gen-make.py -t vcproj --vsnet-version=2012 --with-berkeley-
> db=c:\Users\breser\svn-trunk-deps
> --with-httpd=c:\Users\breser\svn-trunk-deps\build\httpd
> --with-serf=c:\Users\breser\svn-trunk-deps\serf
> --with-sqlite=c:\Users\breser\svn-trunk-deps\sqlite-amalgamation
> --with-zlib=c:\Users\breser\svn-trunk-deps\build\httpd\srclib\zlib
> --with-openssl=c:\Users\breser\svn-trunk-deps\build\httpd\srclib\openssl
>
> 4) Build Subversion. Once that finishes run the following in the came
> command prompt:
> msbuild subversion_vcnet.sln /t:__ALL_TESTS__ /p:Configuration=Release
>
> 5) Test Subversion.
>
> Before testing Subversion you need to set the PATH to include the bin
> dir in the deps directory (otherwise tests will fail due to missing
> libapriconv-1.dll):
> set PATH=c:\Users\breser\svn-trunk-deps\bin;%PATH%

> The following command can be used to test Subversion with ra_local:

> The following command can test it with ra_serf (and will start httpd for
> you):
> win-tests.py --release --httpd-dir=C:\Users\breser\svn-trunk-deps --

> The following command can test it with ra_svn (and will start svnserve
