Help needed with Subversion build on Win32
I've been struggling to build Subversion from source on Win32, and I'm
pretty close. However, there's one problem I can't seem to get around.
The INSTALL file says the following in talking about Berkeley DB as a build
requirement:
******
If you are on the Windows platform and want to build Subversion,
a precompiled version of the Berkeley DB library is available for
download at the Subversion web site:
http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDownloadList
[and later on]
If you want to build the (local) server components, you'll also
need a copy of Berkeley DB, version 4.0.14 or newer. Details are
in Section I.6. For your convenience, there is also a binary
distribution on the Subversion downloads page
http://subversion.tigris.org/ProjectDownloadList
The file there is named
db-4.0.14-win32.zip
Unpack the distribution into the root directory of the Subversion
source tree as <SVN>\db4-win32. [...]
******
Well, that particular piece of information seems to be obsolete, because no
files are available at that URL.
I can build the BDB source, but I haven't been able to figure out
how to place it in that location and have the gen_make.py script find it.
Does anyone know how I can get the pre-built version? Is that URL
missing a parameter on it? Does anyone know the structure of the unpacked
version of that file?
Finally, is there any way to look through all of the available
downloads at tigris.org, instead of going through the tightly controlled
URLs put on the Web site?
Thank you.

OK. r7828. I've actually left the general pointers general and the specific ones specific, as I discovered that there are in fact several of each and it was therefore not just a case of removing a single inconsistency.

The more general change (the latter, the one that stays up-to-date
more easily) sounds better to me.

Perhaps the attached patch "tigris-download-folder.diff" should be applied to give the correct, full folder addresses; or, more likely, we should just give the address as "http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList" and let the user navigate below that, as in the attached patch "tigris-download-list.diff".
The only essential change is that line 607 of INSTALL needs "servlets/" inserted in the URL.
Log message (delete parts as applicable):
[[[
Fix and update references to Tigris web site download pages.
* INSTALL
* www/getting_subversion.html
Fix a broken link by inserting "servlets/" where it was missing.
Update "ProjectDownloadList" to the new name "ProjectDocumentList",
to avoid a redirection and possible future obsolescence.
Link to the appropriate sub-folder in each case.
[OR]
Link to the root of the tree, as the addresses of sub-folders may change.
]]]
What combination of these possible changes do we want?
