Has anyone made a static-linked build of the current SVN code that runs under OS X 10.4 Tiger and 10.5 Leopard? I can can build my patched version of current SVN and make builds that run under 10.6 Snow Leopard and 10.7 Lion, but I've never been able to make builds that run under 10.4 or 10.5 and that work on PowerPC and Intel platforms. Standard DOSBox 0.74 is available for 10.4 onward and in a "universal build" - I'm hoping someone has an equivalent universal 10.4+ build for SVN.
Here's why I'm asking. I've put together an application that uses my patched version of SVN for running WordPerfect for DOS under OS X. On systems that run OS X 10.4 or 10.5, my application falls back to running standard 0.74 instead. It doesn't have all the fancy bells and whistles of my patched version (bells and whistles provided by many helpful members of this forum, build advice provided by the exceptionally patient help of Dominus), but the 0.74 version gets the job done and lets me offer this application to a wide range of users.
The latest SVN code includes a massively improved RESCAN command (thanks to Qbix for this!), and I want to use that improved version in various batch files and WordPerfect macros used by my system. But I can't rewrite the batch files and macros to use the new, improved RESCAN, because the improved RESCAN isn't available in the 0.74 version that I use under 10.4 and 10.5.
So I'm hoping that some generous person has an OS X build of the latest SVN which I could use as the "fallback" program for 10.4 and 10.5 in my application. I realize that there isn't a huge demand out there for this kind of thing, and I'm only asking in the hope that someone has produced such a build already and is willing to share it.
Thanks for any help.
