Inkscape-0.47pre0 does not build on win32

[theAdib]

The build script tries to recognize the svn revision number. For tarball-downloads there is no svn information. The buildtool stops with the error message below:
D:\projekte\inkscape\inkscape-0.47pre0>btool
####################################################
# BuildTool v0.9.9
####################################################
######## PARSE : build.xml
Make error line 0: could not open SVN 'entries' file

When I modify build.xml:106 like this:
- char const *version_string = "${version} r${svn.revision}";
+ char const *version_string = "${version}";

It builds fine.

I am not familiar with win32 build system, but can't we make the revision part conditional (ie. only if .svn/ is found)?

I also builds fine after modify the build.xml.
But i get another error during running the btool.

I get a prompt error message that shows
"This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem."

I also check the C:\devlibs\bin, there only has msvcr70.dll and msvcr71.dll, but couldn't found msvcr80.dll.

Attached is the screen shot of the prompt message.

Hope can get the solution as soon as possible.
Thanks!

Confirmed on Vista, Inkscape 0.47pre1.
Lowered to Medium. It's just a preview, and this bug won't prevent 0.47 final from working.

msvcr80.dll problem already reported in Bug #394096, and probably unrelated.

Fix committed in rev.21943.

svn.revision now returns an emply string (instead of "false") when no .svn exists.
SVN users, please rebuild btool.exe!
