I'm having a bad time building svnwcrew, and as the readme file says: "There is no sophisticated installation procedure for this small utility."...

I modified the config.mk file setting the APR_INCLUDE as the readme says, and when I run make:

any suggestion to build this tool?
Thanks!

Without more information I can only offer you how I've done this on CentOS & Fedora Linux distros. I know a co-worker who got it to build on Ubuntu as well but I'm not familiar with all the steps they took to accomplish this.

For myself I used the following steps.

First I needed to make a change to line # 150 in SVNWcRev.cpp.

# before: 

#define USE_TIME_NOW    -2  // 0 and -1 might already be significant.



# after:

#define USE_TIME_NOW    apr_time_now()  // 0 and -1 might already be significant.

NOTE: The details for the apr_time_now() function were on this page.

This function returns the current time. Also that page detailed the function apr_time_exp_lt(). In the file SVNWcRev.cpp there is a function InsertDate() that is called with several arguments including USE_TIME_NOW. This argument along with a newly constructed apr_time_exp_t object are passed to the apr function, apr_time_exp_lt(). With the original value of -2, this function was returning 12/31/1969 (1/1/1970 - 2usecs).

My co-workers and I seemed to think that this might have been correct behavior on a different platform, or possibly a older version of the apr library was implemented differently where that used to work. I used apr version 1.4.5 to build svnwcrev.

Changing to the function apr_time_now() fixed the issue.

Installation & Setup

svnwcrev is a implementation of the subwcrev.exe tool provided by TortoiseSVN, here. I found svnwcrev here. I downloaded svnwcrev like so:

% svn checkout http://svnwcrev.tigris.org/svn/svnwcrev/trunk svnwcrev --username guest

NOTE: I got the following version of svnwcrev.

% svn info

Path: .

Once downloaded I made the following changes.

1. created a config.mk file:

% cp config_mk.template config.mk

2. changed config.mk so that it looked like this:

SUBVERSION_INCLUDE=/usr/include/subversion-1

APR_INCLUDE=/usr/include/apr-1

LIBRARIES=/usr/lib

3. installed the apr-devel and subversion-devel RPMs.

4. compiled svnwcrev like so:

% make

Adding to the answer from slm I had to do the following to get the latest source from tigress to compile on Ubuntu 15.10

wget http://svnwcrev.tigris.org/files/documents/3444/44067/svnwcrev-1.0.tar.gz

tar -xzvf svnwcrev-1.0.tar.gz 

apt-get install libapr1-dev libsvn-dev

cd svnwcrev-1.0

This provided the headers referred to in the config.mk file, then after renaming config_mk.template to config.mk.

I then had to add the following at line 33 of src/SVNWcRev.cpp

#include <stddef.h>

This fixed a compiler error where Expansion and ptrdiff_t were undefined.

I also had to modify the Makefile to include missing libraries and disable a warning. The changed lines are listed here:

...

CPPFLAGS=-I$(SUBVERSION_INCLUDE) -I$(APR_INCLUDE) -Wno-deprecated-declarations

...

LDLIBS=-lpthread -L$(LIBRARIES) -lsvn_client-1 -lsvn_wc-1 -lsvn_subr-1 -lapr-1
