+ Windows tricks:
+
+ - Modern versions of Microsoft Visual Studio provide support for
+ CMake projects out-of-box, including intellisense, integrated
+ options editor, test explorer, and more.
+
+ In order to use it for Subversion, open the source directory with
+ Visual Studio, and the configuration should start automatically.
+ For editing the cache (options), do right-click to the CMakeLists.txt
+ file and clicking `CMake Settings for Subversion` will open the
+ editor. After the required settings are configured, hit `F7` in
+ order to build. For more info, check the article bellow:

+
+ - There is a useful tool for bootstrapping the dependencies,
+ vcpkg. It provides ports for the most of the Subversion's
+ dependencies, which then could be installed via a single
+ command.
+
+ To start using it, download the registry from GitHub, bootstrap
+ vcpkg, and install the dependencies:
+
+ $ git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg
+ $ cd vcpkg && .\bootstrap-vcpkg.bat -disableMetrics
+ $ .\vcpkg install apr apr-util expat zlib sqlite3 [any other
dependency]
+
+ After this is done, vcpkg can be integrated into CMake by passing
+ the vcpkg toolchain to CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE option. In order to do
+ it with Visual Studio, open the CMake cache editor as explained in
+ the previous step, and put the following into `CMake toolchain
+ file` field, where VCPKG_ROOT is the path to vcpkg registry:
+
+ <VCPKG_ROOT>/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake
