windows build?
Has anyone got CouchDB successfully built on Windows? I feel silly
asking this but for better or worse Windows is what I know. On the
other hand, the abiliy to get it going easily on Windows would open it
up to a whole new audience to try out.
I have tried following the directions posted here
http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/InstallingOnWindows, but I can't seem
to find binaries for SpiderMonkey anywhere on the Mozilla site, nor
have I had any luck compiling it from source (the *.mdp file is too
old to open in Visual Studio and NMAKE craps out with some
unintelliglible error).
I have also searched the archives of this mailing list but haven't
come across anything relevant. Any ideas would be a great help.

That is basically where I ended up when trying the outlined procedure
on MingW. This is all very unfortunate. I don't really have the
resources
to dive deeper into this but maybe somebody here can pick up the lose
ends or send a request for information to the Mozilla devs?
A native Windows build would be highly appreciated!

Oh and as to performance, at least running those on linux isn't that slow.
It depends on your system, anything with more than one core will do fine.

Hello Jan and lists,
Now I'm done with new windows install sequence for 0.8.1.
Still I have errors with the test suites. Couch_js.exe crashes
many times.
In the build procedure,
>Once you've built js.exe and js32.dll, copy them both to
is this right? It seems there's no js.exe built, instead
jsshell.exe is built with this command.
nmake -f "js.mak" CFG="jsshell - Win32 Debug"
Or am I missing something?

Hello Jan and lists,
I've just commited BuildingWindowsDependencyLibraries to wiki.
This is a part of my Windows binary building procedure.
I will update InstallingOnWindows page in several days and
it will include a link to BuildingWindowsDependencyLibraries page.
I will report about the errors if they are reproduced with 0.8.1.

What kind of errors are you getting?

Yes please, if you have more information and possibly easier
instructions, that'd be great.
Also, could your report any changes you had to make in order
to build on Windows so we can roll it in the source?
Cheers

I think so. There will be users who want to use native build
when couchDB become 1.0. And 'Rome wasn't built in a day'.
CouchDB prior to 1.0 must be evaluated on Windows by as many
testers as possible.
I've got couchDB built and working on Windows Vista, though
still I have many errors in the test suits.
How can I contribute? May I edit the InstallingOnWindows page?

In many cases, it's because picking an OS precludes the use of
particular applications, but picking an application does not. MS SQL

Speaking as a developer that can't get a *nix box stood up at my company if
my life (or project) depended on it, I'd say the population is certainly
greater than zero. Of course, as an Ubuntu user and all around FOSS-lover,
I'm not for lack of a couch sandbox -- but as far as developing something
for the 9-5, couch is totally off limits without a windows build.
That said, I totally agree with the below sentiment. Couch is still in alpha
-- as long as nothing's done to permanently preclude a multi-platform build
down the road, there's not much sense in gumming up the works during heavy
development. Sure, couch is *server* software, but as we move on down the

choice for more than a few -- look at what ajatus is doing without even a
whiff of a server-side. Once a 1.0 hits, with a Windows build Couch will be
one hell of an embed option for desktop developers.

How large is the crowd of people who are technically skilled/curious
enough to be wanting to try out advanced pre-release distributed REST-
based database servers written in erlang with their cutting edge web
applications that they are writing because they are programmers but at
the same time can't manage to gain any access at all to a UNIX-like
system? I would have thought it was zero ...
Anyway, I would have thought the #1 reason for getting a windows build
up and running is to fulfil the (currently somewhat distant) promise
of being able to deliver Couch locally as an online/offline syncing
file store or something, but that's all off in the future and not an
urgent priority.

Geeze, I can *kind of* understand someone wanting to use Windows for
development if they absolutely have to have DreamWeaver or something,
but on a server?! Of course you are right that people should run
server software, on servers, in their "native" environment. One
doesn't use WINE to run IIS on Linux, one should not use cygwin or
whatever to run Erlang/CouchDB on Windows.
If you couldn't escape Windows on the server for some unbelievably
good reason (like the aliens are threatening to blow up the world if
you don't), then it would probably be easier/preferable to run it in
Linux under VMWare anyway.
In my humble opinion, of course!

You have a point there. For the try-before-you-buy crowd, a windows
build would be very usefull.
I was more referring to the next phase, when somebody would actually
decide to use CouchDB.
In that case i would try to rely on software stacks in their 'native'
habitat. But that's just my preference.

The idea here is not to provide something for a production system.
There are folks who are on Windows and actually do like it or can't
switch for whatever reason and a native build would be the least
possible hassle for these to try out CouchDB.
Frankly, if somebody would come and say "Install Windows[1] in
VMware and then try our awesome project", I would pass.
In my opinion, a native Windows build has its value and it would
be nice if somebody could pull it together.

OTOH using Windows in production for a server isn't the easiest,
cheapest nor safest thing to do anyway.
So developping on a VMWare image, (perhaps it's even wiser to go with
a server, console-only version).
Adding bonus-effects: you can throw the whole server configuration in
source-control ;-)
When releasing producting ready version you just release the whole
server image ready to deploy.
I use linux as a desktop, but i too am using virtualized images, that
I deploy when ready.
It depends on the sort of project, but if you need to things like
automatically convert certain uploaded file-types, etc. having the
whole server and installed programs under source-control really is the
way to go.

Great idea for prototyping. Just keep in mind performance suffers
quite a bit for view index time on VM vs. real. Not sure if you were
planning on running in production that way, but wouldn't recommend it.

I choose to set up a vmware image and do it in kubuntu.
I just got the feeling that building it for Windows was looking for
trouble...

Hello,
I am trying to build CouchDB on Windows too.
Regarding SpiderMonkey, It seems that I have
successfully build the DLL (though with lots of
warnings). Take a look at this page.
http://blog.endflow.net/?p=55&lang=en
Now I am lost in trying to build couch_erl_driver.c.
I am just learning how to build things, I don't
understand what the phrase of InstallingOnWindows
page is saying.
'The simplest way to build a DLL is to create a Win32 DLL project in an
IDE, add couch_erl_driver.c into the project, and change project
settings to include the Erlang ERTS and ICU4C header paths.'
I don't get what I actually have to do.
With VisualStudio2008' Win32 DLL project, it seems
that source must be in C++. I don't know how to fix this.
