It uses some quite clever XML based "makefiles", but the project seems fairly dead. I havn't touched the build scripts, only built it on a few different computers and it is a very straight forward process, building all dependencies from source. (Including building Subversion both as DLL files and as command line executables). Building ground up from source is a technique I've used over the years and > has it's benefits.

I'm guessing that TSVN is maintaining their build scripts by hand which would be good to avoid. Someone mentioned CMake (and I think they also talked about using it on Linux) and any work done on Windows might even be groundwork for a new crossplatform build system :-) Kind regards, Daniel Sahlberg
