Hi lucio, Following steps helped me in building Hadoop on windows 7.
Hadoop-3.0.0 build instructions for Windows 8.1 ---------------------------------------------- I compiled Hadoop-3.0.0 from Git Trunk. I have not used cygwin. I have Windows 8.1 64bit Pre-requisites: --------------- 1. Download and install latest version of cmake for windows from http://www.cmake.org/download/ 2. Install Visual Studio Express 2013 3. Get latest version of trunk code from git://git.apache.org/hadoop.git (Try to use shortest path such as d:\hdp-git) 4. Download and install proto.exe (version 2.5.0) for windows 5. Ensure you have JDK-1.7 and Maven 3.0.5 or above installed and set in ENV variables Build settings changes: ---------------------- 1. Migrate Visual Studio Projects native.vcxproj, libwinutils.vcxproj and winutils.vcxproj from VS2010 to VS2013 a) Open $hadoop-common-project\hadoop-common\src\main\winutils\winutils.sln in VS2013. It will prompt you to upgrade the project to VS2013. Click yes. a) Open $hadoop-common-project\hadoop-common\src\main\native\native.sln in VS2013. It will prompt you to upgrade the project to VS2013. Click yes. 2. Open $hadoop-hdfs-project\hadoop-hdfs\pom.xml. Search for "Visual Studio 10 Win64", change it to "Visual Studio 12 Win64" Build Process: 1. Open "Developer Command Prompt for VS2013" located at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\Tools\Shortcuts" This will open new command shell. Use this to build hadoop. 2. Run batch file "vcvarsx86_amd64.bat" located at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\bin\x86_amd64" 3. Change to $HADOOP directory and run maven build $mvn install -DskipTests It definitely Works. -Naveen. -----Original Message----- From: Lucio Crusca [mailto:lu...@sulweb.org] Sent: Thursday, February 12, 2015 3:33 AM To: user@hadoop.apache.org Subject: Building for Windows Hello everybody, I'm absolutely new to hadoop and a customer asked me to build version 2.6 for Windows Server 2012 R2. I'm myself a java programmer, among other things, but I've never used hadoop before. I've downloaded and installed JDK7, Maven, Cygwin (for sh, mv, gzip, ...) and other toys specified in the BUILDING.txt file bundled with hadoop sources. I also set the PATH and other environment variables (JAVA_HOME, ZLIB_HOME, Platform, ...). Running mvn package -Pdist -Dtar it compiles everything till MiniKDC included, but then it fails a test after compiling Auth. Here you can see the full output of the mvn command: http://hastebin.com/aqixebojuv.tex Can you help me understand what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance Lucio.
