Specifically the INSTALL file that is part of the source, which gives
the following isntructions:
: D. Bootstrapping from a Zip File under Windows
: -------------------------------------------
:
: Of all the ways of getting a Subversion client, this is the
: easiest. Just download the ZIP file, run your unzipping utility
: (WinZIP, ZipGenius, UltimateZIP, FreeZIP, whatever) and extract
: the DLLs and EXEs to a directory of your choice. Included in
: the download is the SVN client, the SVNADMIN administration
: tool, and the SVNLOOK reporting tool.
:
: Now open a DOS box (run either "cmd" or "command" from the
: Start menu's "Run..." menu option), change to the directory you
: installed the executables into, and run:
:
: C:\test>svn co http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk svn
:
: This will get the latest Subversion sources and put them into the
: "svn" subdirectory.
It seems to say that you can download some zip that will act as a seed
for an svn co, but I haven't found any zip that really fits that
description.
The only other instructions ( for a client build ) are:
: To build the client components, you'll need a copy of neon
: 0.24.4. See section I.5 for details on where to get one and
: what to do with it when you get it.
There are no other instructions for a client only build.
There is one thing that might be useful ( and something similar is
absolutely needed ), and that is to use the gen-make.py script.
But I don't see a way of using that script to generate project files
that are client only, and the normal generatied scripts are to
intertwined with server builds.
