I also noticed that svn_io.h wasn't included, so I added #include
"svn_io.h" before all of the other includes, yet I still received the
same error. Then I realized that this error occurred because the HEAD
version of those example files do not compile with the header files of
Subversion 1.3.2.
Therefore, I downloaded the minimal_client.c file from
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/tags/1.3.2/tools/examples/ and tried
compiling it with the headers and libraries in svn-win32-1.3.2_dev.zip
but I received many link errors. The instructions in the example
documentation state to use this command to compile:
cc minimal_client.c -o minimal_client \
-I/usr/local/include/subversion-1 -I/usr/local/apache2/include \
-L/usr/local/apache2/lib -L/usr/local/lib \
-lsvn_client-1 -lapr-0 -laprutil-0
but I'm using Windows with MS Visual C++ 6 so I set the paths
correctly and used these three additional libraries, based on the
example compilation instructions:
libsvn_client-1.lib libapr.lib libaprutil.lib
Here are the link errors I received:
----Configuration: svn_minimal_client - Win32 Debug----
Compiling...
minimal_client.c
e:\svn_minimal_client\minimal_client.c(143) : warning C4013:
'svn_cmdline_init' undefined; assuming extern returning int
Linking...

minimal_client.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol

I looked at the documentation of svn_auth_open, the first error, and
it seems I need libsvn_auth, but I did not receive this library in
svn-win32-1.3.2_dev.zip. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Marty
