Hi folks,
I'd like to use 1.4 to get a few more people up to speed on how the
windows build process works**, with the longer term aim of removing
myself as a critical bus factor for the project, and having a group of
Windows-friendly people to work on the roadmap towards Couch+Merges,
where we can ditch most of my current approach and move to erlang
releases and simpler/better tooling. Yay!
Here's what you need:
- reply to this thread so I know you're interested
- include your TZ ; http://s.apache.org/tz1 is useful
- how you like to walk through the process
eg if you want a G+ hangout, skype call, prefer irc, email…
- any recent windows box that has SDK 7.1 installed (no XP please)
- you don't mind installing cygwin *and* mingw and some other stuff added to it
- follow this http://s.apache.org/couchdb-glazier-docs
- please report any embarassing fails to this thread
You need ~ 12 GB disk space for a full install & all bits, but minimum
RAM and only a single core.
ASF committers are welcome to sign up for a free MSDN licence (no
strings or costs attached) and you'll get a free ec2 micro equivalent
instance in the azure cloud. Pretty good deal -- you can even run
linux on it!
A+
Dave
