I usually run Hadoop on a linux cluster but do most of my development in single machine mode under windows. This was fairly straightforward for 0.2. For 1.0 I needed to copy and fix FileUtils but for 2.0 I am expected to build 2 files from source - WinUtils.exe and hadoop.dll. There is really only ONE serious windows configuration: 64 bit intel and NO good reason why these files could not be available in a binary distribution - Is anyone using Hadoop 2.X and developing under windows whi can help. My configuration builds WunUtils.exe but not hadoop.dll and fails trying to set permission on a staging file file:/tmp/hadoop-Steve/mapred/staging/Steve2116067144/.staging
