As Jonathan Friberg says - "lein.bat" works fine. As Windows seems to often go hand-in-hand with intrusive proxies, you might also want to make sure you have environment variables "HTTP_PROXY" and "HTTPS_PROXY" pointing to a working proxy, if necessary you can run your own proxy using cntlm : http://cntlm.sourceforge.net/
We've also had a lot of success using Vagrant to run virtual headless Linux machines, and then sharing the development directories with Windows to run IDEs and the like. This gives you a real linux environment, rather than the cobbled together mess you get with cygwin or gow or msys; it also means you can check in all your machine configurations into version control and make sure that every (virtual) development PC is identical. I'd highly recommend this if you have a team that are happier in a linux environment than a Windows one. - Korny On 9 March 2013 14:55, James Ashley <james.ash...@gmail.com> wrote: > Since I've seen a few recent posts about this experience, I figured I'd > share mine: > > 0a) Install cygwin.
