Hi all,
I am keen to build subversion-trunk on Windows using cmake
and bleeding edge dependencies (serf-trunk, apr-trunk, etc).
Does anyone have a script / recipe to do this in a single
step?
I have Visual Studio 2022 on Windows 11 via ssh, so
ideally something command line based.
Does such a thing exist?
Regards,
Graham

Hi,
I've so far only built it using vcpkg supplied dependencies,
so sorry no. I do think it would be valuable to have such a
script!
I think our primary expert on Windows is Timofei, I hope he
can chime in!
Cheers,
Daniel
I was planning to respond anyway... Sorry for the delay.
With cmake, you can build each of apr, serf, and subversion using
just a few simple commands per project.
Here is how they'd generally look like:
```
cmake -S <source> -B <source>/out [extra opts]
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX <libs>
cmake --build <source>/out
cmake --install <source>/out
```
So the complete script would contain something like:
```pwsh
# checkout projects
svn checkout
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/apr/apr/branches/1.7.x apr
svn checkout
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/apr/apr-util/branches/1.7.x apr-util
svn checkout https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/serf/trunk serf
svn checkout https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk svn
# deps
git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg
Push-Location vcpkg
.\bootstrap-vcpkg.bat -disableMetrics
.\vcpkg install expat zlib sqlite3 openssl
Pop-Location
# compiled binaries and libraries will appear in this directory
mkdir install
Copy-Item -Recurse .\vcpkg\installed\x64-windows\* install
# let's keep the source trees clean, by utilising out-of-tree build
mkdir build
# apr
cmake -S apr -B build/apr -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=install
cmake --build .\build\apr\
cmake --install .\build\apr\ --config Debug
# apr-util
cmake -S apr-util -B build/apr-util -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=install
cmake --build .\build\apr-util\
cmake --install .\build\apr-util\ --config Debug
# serf
cmake -S serf -B build/serf -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=install
cmake --build .\build\serf\
cmake --install .\build\serf\ --config Debug
# svn
cmake -S svn -B build/svn -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=install
cmake --build .\build\svn\
cmake --install .\build\svn\ --config Debug
```

Oh, looks great, thanks!
It's pretty much the same commands for every project assuming
dependecies are set up. This is why I don't think there is a need
for a script; The steps are still simple, but someone may want to
modify something for their needs. For example, use apr-2 instead
of apr+apr-util, customise some projects or build configurations
using options, or use ninja instead of vcnet.
On the other hand, I think it might be cool to include this set of
commands to the INSTALL guide instead.
Yes, I think INSTALL is the right place to go.
One minor nit: If we put this as an example in INSTALL, I think we
should be consistent with which kind of version we use in the svn co
example. Above you use the current branch of APR, the "next" branch of
APR-util (don't really know the status of 1.6 vs 1.7 there) and the
trunk versions of Subversion and Serf. Obviously there may be a good
reason (for example Serf 1.3 doesn't have the CMake scripts - although
I hope we will soon be able to release 1.5 with CMake support), then
we can describe how to use another version and what is the minimum
required version for each project.
Graham did say bleeding-edge and explicitly mentioned apr-trunk. What
you're discussing isn't that. :) Sure subversion-trunk, apr-trunk and
serf-trunk do work together, I just haven't tried using CMake for all
three: APR's CMake build is explicitly Windows-only, Subversion's has a
bunch of problems on, e.g., macOS -- or at least did when I tried it a
couple months ago -- and only Serf's works reliably on every platform
I've tried[1].
