I also whish you (or anyone who tries to build subversion on Windows) good luck. It can be done, but it isn't easy. I for one spent a lot of time getting it to work on my machine, just to experiment with some simple things. Now I have a working build setup, but I wouldn't consider it standard by any means (and don't have more time to invest in standardizing this build). I actually started from Daniel Shahaf's Makefile, which he mentioned above. See my experiences here: http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2009-09/0305.shtml Regards, Johan
