      It is possible to configure and build Subversion on Unix in a
      directory other than the working copy. For example

          $ svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk svn
          $ cd svn
          $ # get SQLite amalgamation if required
          $ chmod +x autogen.sh
          $ ./autogen.sh
          $ mkdir ../obj
          $ cd ../obj
          $ ../svn/configure [...with options as appropriate...]
          $ make

      puts the Subversion working copy in the directory svn and builds
      it in a separate, parallel directory obj.

      Why would you want to do this? Well there are a number of
      reasons...

          *  You may prefer to avoid "polluting" the working copy with
             files generated during the build.

          *  You may want to put the build directory and the working
             copy on different physical disks to improve performance.

          *  You may want to separate source and object code and only
             backup the source.

          *  You may want to remote mount the working copy on multiple
             machines, and build for different machines from the same
             working copy.

          *  You may want to build multiple configurations from the
             same working copy.

      The last reason above is possibly the most useful.  For instance
      you can have separate debug and optimized builds each using the
      same working copy. Or you may want a client-only build and a
      client-server build. Using multiple build directories you can
      rebuild any or all configurations after an edit without the need
      to either clean and reconfigure, or identify and copy changes
      into another working copy.


  D.  Installing from a Zip or Installer File under Windows
      --------------------------------------------------------

      Of all the ways of getting a Subversion client, this is the
      easiest.  Download a Zip (*.zip) or self-extracting installer
      (*-setup.exe) file from:

      http://subversion.apache.org/packages#windows

      For a Zip file, run your unzipping utility (WinZIP, ZipGenius,
      UltimateZIP, FreeZIP, whatever) and extract the DLLs and EXEs to
      a directory of your choice. Included in the download is the SVN
      client, the SVNADMIN administration tool, and the SVNLOOK
      reporting tool.

      Note that if you need support for non-English locales you'll have
      to set the APR_ICONV_PATH environment variable to the path of the
      iconv directory in the folder that contains the Subversion install.

      You may also want to add the bin directory in the Subversion folder
      to your PATH environment variable so as to not have to use the full
      path when running Subversion commands.

      To test the installation, open a DOS box (run either "cmd" or
      "command" from the Start menu's "Run..." menu option), change to
      the directory you installed the executables into, and run:

          C:\test>svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk svn

      This will get the latest Subversion sources and put them into the
      "svn" subdirectory.

      If using a self-extracting .exe file, just run it instead of
      unzipping it, to install Subversion.

  E.  Building the Latest Source under Windows
      ----------------------------------------

  E.1 Prerequisites

      * Visual Studio 6 and service pack. It can be built with later versions
        of Visual Studio (Visual Studio.NET 2002, 2003, 2005, 2008 and Visual
        C++ Express 2005, 2008) but these instructions assume VS6.
      * A recent Windows SDK. (Not needed with Visual Studio 2005 and later)
        If you are using Visual Studio 6, you need the latest SDK which
        is compatible with VC6, which is the one from february 2003.
        You can get it from MSDN:
        http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/psdk-full.htm
      * Python 2.5 or higher, downloaded from http://www.python.org/ which is
        used to generate the project files.
      * Perl 5.8 or higher from http://www.activestate.com/
      * Awk (from http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~bwk/btl.mirror/awk95.exe) is
        needed to compile Apache or APR.  Note that this is the actual awk
        program, not an installer - just rename it to awk.exe and it is
        ready to use.
      * Apache apr, apr-util, and optionally apr-iconv libraries, version
        0.9.12 or later. Included in both the Subversion dependencies ZIP file
        and the Apache 2 source zip.  If you are building from a Subversion
        checkout and have not downloaded Apache 2, then get these 3 libraries
        from http://www.apache.org/dist/apr/.
      * ZLib 1.2 or higher is required and is included in the Subversion
        dependencies zip file or can be obtained from http://www.zlib.org
      * Either a Subversion client binary from http://subversion.apache.org/ to
        do the initial checkout of the Subversion source or the zip file
        source distribution. See the section "Bootstrapping from a Zip or
        Installer File under Windows" above for more.
      * A means of unpacking the files, e.g., WinZIP or similar.

      Additional Options

      * [Optional] Apache 2 source, downloaded from
        http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi, these instructions assume
        version 2.0.58.  This is only needed for building the Subversion
        server Apache modules.  Note that although Subversion will compile
        against Apache 2.2.3 and APR 1.2.7, there is a bug that causes
        runtime failures with Subversion on Windows.  The fix is included in
