Hello,
I compiled successfully SVN on MINGW+MSYS but I got this error during the
process:
/bin/sh /home/Carlo/subversion-1.8.3/libtool --tag=CC --silent --mode=compile
gcc -std=c89 -DWIN32 -D__MSVCRT__ -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -g -O2 -g -O2 -I.

subversion/libsvn_subr/win32_xlate.c:81: error: redefinition of typedef

subversion/libsvn_subr/win32_xlate.h:30: error: previous declaration of

Actually, the subversion/libsvn_subr/win32_xlate.h declares some functions
with an opaque structure called win32_xlate_t, but since the build process is
feeding the option "-std=c89", it fails because it seems that the opaque and
complete structures are not supported in that dialect at the same time.
Probably, this defect has been never seen before because perhaps until now SVN
for native Windows has been never compiled with GCC (cygwin is POSIX, not
WIN32, so it does not count).
The missing conformance to C89 can be resolved by either declaring the
complete structure inside subversion/libsvn_subr/win32_xlate.h, or by making
that parameter in those functions really opaque, with a pointer to void that it
will be eventually casted later to win32_xlate_t.
I have prepared two patches for this bug: each patch implements one of the two
solutions described above so you can use the best for you (anyways, they are
both easy fixes).
Sincerely,
Carlo Bramini.
