The .zip variant is meant exactly for building on Windows. It does not contain the Unix build scripts, and most files have CR/LF line endings instead of just LF. Once upon a time, the Visual Studio editor didn't know what to do with files with LF line endings. >> Any other hints? Thanks in advance. > What about the WANdisco package?

I build Subversion regularly on OSX, and I also run an automated build box on a Mac Mini. I do use Homebrew to get a new-enough openssl, scons (for Serf), atoconf etc. (not on the buildslave, where I build the dependencies from scratch). The system APR, APR-Util and SQLite on El Cap are just fine, and you do not need Berkeley DB; in fact, I'd recommend not to build the BDB bits at all. -- Brane
