Re: Build SVN with VSE 2008

What are you trying to build? trunk or 1.6.x? (the rc.exe error you
see I think was fixed on trunk)

I'm attaching my build script for VC2008. You need to set %SVNDIR% first.

Feel free to catch me on IRC (danielsh).

(and you don't need Perl --- but the makefile references a Perl script, so
I attach it for completeness)
