I mean no offense. To be clear, this is actually an observation not
strictly about Subversion but more overall about the various pieces I've had
to bring together to try to get a fully working Subversion server on Win32
(httpd w/apr*, zlib, openssl, bdb, neon, subversion). At least one of those
has an install document that effectively says in one place "the makefiles
probably won't work because we don't test Windows builds every release".
The main problem in the Subversion INSTALL file was resolved in an
earlier email, that the db-4.0.14-win32.zip file is found at
http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=688
not
http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList
as stated in the INSTALL file.
I've also noticed that the source tarball doesn't include the
apr-iconv package, which is needed to build a server on Windows, but perhaps
that's because you're expected to copy it from the Apache that you compile
against.
To be honest, my plea for more Win32 help is really targetted
towards Subclipse and RapidSVN, so it probably should go to their mailing
lists.
'Nuff said. Sorry.
