Re: Building SVN (dependencies) on Windows

I know this pain well. I build svn for macOS and Windows to do the binary pysvn releases.

I have the build for the svn client side of things fully automated.
In case this is helpful to you here is what I use.

The scripts I use are here:

        https://svn.code.sf.net/p/pysvn/code/trunk/pysvn/ReleaseEngineering/Windows

The build-all-deps.cmd is the entry point thats get you to a working svn client.

To build svn 1.13 compatible with python 3.5 and later I use:

        build-all-deps 3.5 1.13 win64

The version of the source code to use is setup in build-config-svn-1.13.cmd.

Any patches that are needed to make the builds work are in:

        https://svn.code.sf.net/p/pysvn/code/trunk/pysvn/ReleaseEngineering/Windows/patches

And you would need to have the compilers installed and the source kits of all the
deps for the above to work of course.

It contains a couple of scripted fixes for some of the externally broken build scripts (e.g. httpd). Perhaps those fixes should be brought upstream (at least they should be checked against the latest version of their component). Perhaps could use Debug vs. Release configuration, as well as x86 vs. x64. Cross pointing between this script and INSTALL would be ideal.
