[1.4] windows builds -- join the fun**
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

So this should be awesome option then since afaik skype recording
isn't trivial thing.

Hangouts lets you do this too, with the added option of recording the whole
thing!

Hi Dave!
That's great proposal!

[+++] Very interested!

[+] Skype, IRC and email are ok for me. Never tried G+ hangouts.
However, I feel the best experience could be reached with video+text
conference: video for desktop sharing and process live view and text
for backlog. Skype allows to share desktop and continue with chat.

[+] Win2k3 and Win7 boxes are ready with required tool chain.

[+] Done, Done, nothing seriously wrong was there.
I'd also signed up for MSDN license, but don't know when it will arrive.
Status: ready for the adventures with CouchDB on Windows (:

I've done it before but haven't reviewed changes in over a year. I
prefer reading/writing text vs. a video walkthrough, but since I know
they are harder to produce, if you do a video walkthrough I can work on
a step-by-step walkthrough.
