Re: Searching for a C++ API

[R developer]

Converting CLI is not my best skill, but still thanks for the suggestion :-)

Received a final answer on my request;
libsvncpp from https://github.com/RapidSVN/RapidSVN is now LGPL

Re: ... is already a working copy for a different url

[R developer]

You might be looking for the relocate command, execute it on the current
working copy and tell it which server folder it should be:

http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.ref.svn.c.relocate.html

Doing
svn info .
Shows the current server url, might be wise to check if that is what you
think it is

I don't know how to do this in your client

So far i found that rapidsvn contains libsvncpp; but its GPL
https://github.com/RapidSVN/RapidSVN
And there is svnqt, which is old and I couldn't find documentation (LGPL)
https://github.com/MIRAvzw/svnqt
Does anyone know of a better / free to use C++ library?

I'm not that familiar with the C API unless I'm missing something (which is
very well possible) one would have to manage the apr pools himself?
for instance
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/tools/examples/minimal_client.c
does seem very complex to me for the tasks it performs
is there any easier C example out there?

Kind Regards,

Searching for a C++ API

[R developer]

Hello all,

I have been involved in writing a closed source application that among
other things maintains a checkout from an SVN repository, the application
used to be written in C# so at the moment we are used to SharpSvn. Recently
the decision was made to incorporate the functionality into a mobile c++
app (yes, I do wish we could use a different language, but for now that's
out of our scope).

Is there a C++ library available somewhere?
One that can be used in a closed source app and compiles both on Windows
and Linux (and preferably other platforms like OSx, iOS, Android).
Usage of c++11, boost and/or Qt frameworks is fine as our app already uses
them.

When we started searching; we found several dead ends. Either GPL code
which we can't use or outdated and no longer compiling.

What is the preferred/easiest way of doing a simple checkout/update of a
svn repository folder in a c++ application?
(Any leads will be appreciated as we are quite new to this topic)

Thanks,
Richard
