Ok, if you are using the --disable-shared argument to gen-make.py then
the libsvn_*.lib files do appear to be the static libraries. Without
that option they are the dynamic import libraries and another set of
static libraries is generated as svn_*.lib.
With or without the --disable-shared option, I can build a small
sample app statically linked to Subversion with no difficulties as
long as I setup my app linker settings to pull in the right libraries.
However, even with --disable-shared, the Subversion libraries are
going to try to link to the dynamic import libraries for apr and
apr-util by default from what I can tell.
So, if you really want a build that is statically linked to apr as
well as Subversion, then you'll have to tweak the Subversion project
files yourself (and neon as well) to #define APR_DECLARE_STATIC and
APU_DECLARE_STATIC so that they will use the correct header
declarations for the static apr libraries. There may be more issues
as well, since I haven't pursued doing this beyond a few minutes
investigation. This is not the way Subversion builds are generally
done and the build system doesn't try to support it much (at least
that I can see).
