Help on "Subversion Windows Installer"

Hi there,



I got the resource from this website:

http://alagazam.net/



I am hoping that I am writing to David Darj. I am not a new user to svn but
it's my first time to compile it. I want to run it on my computer to learn
about the algorithms and see what I can do from there. I am strongly
interested in contributing something to this community.



I have been working on it for 4 days but the compile still fails. I
followed the INSTALLATION file with minimum requirement. Later I found this
resource win32Svn from David. I tried to use your binary files to make my
compile pass. But it still fails. Now I am wondering if you have a VS 2008
project, which is running with proper configuration so I can start from
there?



I am using VS 2010 on Windows 7. Or could you give me some steps that I can
follow to do the compiling?



Thanks,

Jay

Hi Jay

I use VC++6 to do my build of SVN.
As of this tuesday I committed my "build script" to the Win32Svn 
project's svn repository on SourceForge.
I don't have any project files newer then this but I think they could be 
generated same way the VC6 project files are.

It took me a while to get a working build, but reading the INSTALL is a 
good start,
also take a look at build/win32/vc6-buld.bat.in can give you some clues.

For specific build problems the svn mail lists (users and dev) and 
searching them with google is your friends.

Best luck
David Darj  a.k.a Alagazam

Hi Steve and Mark,

Thank you very much for the information.
I've tried Paul Burba's solution. It works for VS 2008 but not VS 2010, as
he said in the post. For collabnet or wandisco, I went to their website
briefly and did not get the open source project. I guess that they mainly
focus on providing a client side serviece. I could be wrong. Could you
please give me more information?

Thanks again,
Jay

True.  See Paul Burba's detailed instructions using VS 2008:

I believe that David uses Visual C++ 6 as that is what is used to compile the official apache releases (or it was when I last looked into trying to compile them myself).

There are a ton of differences from VC++6 to VS2008+ (I've been porting other code between the two).

Have a look at collabnet or wandisco, I'm sure I read one of them uses VS2010.
