I apply about 13 patches to the upstream sources to create the package 
for Cygwin.

My first hint is to use the binary packages I provide for Cygwin instead 
of compiling it yourself. The latest version is packaged. If you want to 
compile it yourself, I suggest downloading the source package I provide 
and following the directions in 
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/subversion*.README. The source package also has 
all the patches I apply if you're only interested in that.

Horrible! What a pitty, 1.5.6 worked without any patches ...

Done.
Thanks for providing!

I don't feel like doing that work for now.
By the way: is it Cygwins's fault or have they (subversion's programmers)
changed so much in relation to socket.h (?winsock2.h?)?

Thanks for the reply,
Thomas

I applied about as many patches when building the 1.5.6 packages. The 
most important patch is to get the linking of the various DLLs to work 
on Windows, which doesn't allow undefined symbols in DLLs like Linux.

It looks like your build errors came from compiling APR from the 
Subversion dependencies tarball. APR's configure looks for winsock2.h 
for some reason and attempts to use the Windows socket APIs in addition 
to Cygwin's. This is what causes your errors when building APR.

Cygwin has a separate APR package (which I also maintain) and the 
subversion package links against that. I disable the detection of 
winsock2.h (and windows.h) when building the Cygwin APR packages.
