Re: building SVN trunk on Windows fails on python gen-make.py

[Stefan Hett]

The branch is based on the latest trunk. The only difference in 
gen_win.py is in line 70, where on trunk there's the call to 
generator.write_config_keys() which is missing on the branch-version.
I didn't try adding this call tough, since I found it kinda unlikely 
that this is the cause of the problem (I rather suspect some set-up 
issue on my side, which I can't just see atm).
Hi,

I just tried to build 
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/branches/svn-mergeinfo-normalizer 
on Windows following the INSTALL file documentation up to the point 
where the make file is being generated.

Using this call: python gen-make.py -t vcproj --with-zlib=..\zlib 
--with-apr=..\apr --with-apr-util=..\apr-util --vsnet-version=2010
I'm now getting the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "gen-make.py", line 325, in <module> main(conf, gentype, 
skip_depends=skip, other_options=rest.list)
  File "gen-make.py", line 62, in main generator = 
gen_module.Generator(fname, verfname, other_options)
  File "build\generator\gen_vcnet_vcproj.py", line 36, in __init__

  File "build\generator\gen_win.py", line 83, in __init__

  File "build\generator\gen_win_dependencies.py", line 286, in

  File "build\generator\gen_win_dependencies.py", line 395, in 
_find_apr bin_files = os.listdir(dll_dir)
FileNotFoundError: [WinError 3] The system cannot find the path 
specified: '..\\apr\\bin'

Looking at the apr-directory I downloaded/extracted, there's no 
apr/bin-directory.
I downloaded the following APR-source package (1.5.1): 
http://mirror.serversupportforum.de/apache//apr/apr-1.5.1-win32-src.zip

Did I get the wrong one? Or did I miss some step?

Regards,
Stefan
