I know this pain well. I build svn for macOS and Windows to do the binary pysvn
releases.
I have the build for the svn client side of things fully automated.
In case this is helpful to you here is what I use.
The scripts I use are here:
https://svn.code.sf.net/p/pysvn/code/trunk/pysvn/ReleaseEngineering/Windows
The build-all-deps.cmd is the entry point thats get you to a working svn client.
To build svn 1.13 compatible with python 3.5 and later I use:
build-all-deps 3.5 1.13 win64
The version of the source code to use is setup in build-config-svn-1.13.cmd.
Any patches that are needed to make the builds work are in:
https://svn.code.sf.net/p/pysvn/code/trunk/pysvn/ReleaseEngineering/Windows/patches
And you would need to have the compilers installed and the source kits of all
the
deps for the above to work of course.
