I've done a lot of learning, which as been fun, but I can't figure this last error out. I've attached the error log, and my WIP visual studio script that basically got me this far.

There seems to be a mix of relative and absolute paths with respect to zlib in the build script. I'm writing this on my phone so I can't look at the script while writing this but the ZLIBPROJ variable (if memory serves) is assigned a relative path; the library binaries are copied from there to another relative path location; but the --with-zlib= for building Subversion uses an absolute path starting with C:\ -- perhaps you have a different zlib there? If so then you're building one zlib in this script but using a different zlib when building Subversion, perhaps one built with mingw instead of MSVC or something. That would explain the linker errors. Unless I'm missing something else :-)

Hope this helps
