[Mingw-users] "sh: svn: command not found"

[Jeffrey W. <nol...@gm...>]

Hi All,

I downloaded the latest MinGW (mingw-get-inst-20110802.exe) and
installed on XP. I included the developer tools (I think they are
included by default), MSSYS (I think that's what it was called), and
chose to download the latest repos.

I added C:\MinGW\bin to PATH (the installer _should_ have offered).

Results from trying to run SVN:
jeffrey@descartes ~
$ svn checkout https://owasp-esapi-cplusplus.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
owasp-es api-++ --username <my email>
sh: svn: command not found

Hmm.... (really, on a dev machine?):
jeffrey@descartes ~
$ whereis svn
sh: whereis: command not found

OK (this is a really crippled installation):
jeffrey@descartes ~
$ mingw-get install svn
mingw-get.exe: *** ERROR *** svn: unknown package

jeffrey@descartes ~
$ mingw-get install subversion
mingw-get.exe: *** ERROR *** subversion: unknown package

I give. Where is SVN, and how does one get it on the system?

Jeff
