Re: Need Help with Building and Running a Simple App Based on SVN Client

I don't know if anyone on this list can help you. This is mainly a
user's list (although I am sure there are several developers here
too).

I know that the Subversion developer list bats around questions about
client development too. So, you might want to take a look at the
Subversion Developer's list.

You may also want to download not the Subversion source (which
includes client and server stuff), but take a look at the various
Subversion clients that are out and about. These will contain client
only code, so their structure might be a bit clearer. They will at
least give you an idea on how to communicate with the Subversion API.

For a list of Subversion clients, take a look at
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Subversion_clients> in
Wikipedia. By taking a look at one of the open source projects' client
source, you might be able to figure out the best way to write your own
client.

Some of these clients may depend upon VisualStudio in order to
compile, and some may require open source development projects like
GCC and its supporting libraries.
