It's all Visual Studio. The most difficult part of the SVN build on
Windows is not the build of Subversion itself (which is quite
straightforward), but building all its dependencies (as I tried to
describe in the above mail threads).
Anyway, I do think Daniel Shahaf is right: learning how to build SVN
on Windows will probably not help you much for learning how to build
it on Linux / Synology. As he says: "We _would_ welcome help with the
Windows build, of course; it's just that knowing how to build on
Windows isn't going to acquaint you with building on Linux."
But feel free to approach this any way you see fit of course :-).
