Win32 installation (building the Couch ERL driver DLL).
Hello,
I do want to start with CouchDB on Windows and prefer to build from scratch to understand the product and it's dependecies better.
I am using the instructions from http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Installing_on_Windows and am stuck at building the 'couch erl driver DLL'.
Have built mochiweb succesfully, also SpiderMonkey (with the standard js.c) built succesfully.
Unfortunately building SpiderMonkey with the CouchDB js.c failed (see instruction at http://blog.endflow.net/?p=55&lang=en), but will look at that later.
In my Erlang distribution (C:\erl-5.7.2\erts-5.7.2) I am missing the directories or files:
C:\otp_src_R13B\erts\emulator\sys\win32
C:\otp_src_R13B\erts\emulator\beam
Where can I get these files? And how to add them to my project in Visual C++ Express Edition?
Thanks,
Regards, Walter

I would severely advise against trying to build couchdb by creating a VS2008
project.
The easiest way to build couch on windows is to get the src for
couchdb-win32 from my github or from markh's. Follow the directions in the
README. We need to update the wiki to add links to these githubs i guess.

RE: Win32 installation (building the Couch ERL driver DLL).
Posted by "Heiden, W van - SPLXL" <Wa...@klm.com>.
I am trying to build CouchDB for Windows, not Erlang (except for Mochiweb).
I have no experience with Erlang (nor couchDB) and the Wiki is (still) unclear to me because it doesn't answer my thoughts or questions.
For myself I have created the steps that I have done, they are below, and come from different sources but done and checked by me, is incomplete and work-in-progress:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I have used http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Installing_on_Windows as a starting point but ended up with a non-working CouchDB.
Since I had Visual Studio 2008 installed, the steps for the GNU C Compiler or Visual C++ Compiler is not tested.
Step 0: Pre-requisites
a) OTP/Erlang environment
b) Win32 C Compiler/Linker (e.g. GCC, Visual C++ Express Edition or Visual Studio 2008)
c) OpenSSL (an open-source implementation of Secure Socket Layer)
d) ICU (a library providing Unicode and Globalization support)
e) SpiderMonkey (Mozilla's C implementation of JavaScript)
Step 1: Download the pre-requisites
a) download the Erlang Windows binary (otp_win32_R13B01.exe) from http://www.erlang.org/download.html
b) download the Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualc/default.aspx
c) download an OpenSSL binary distribution from http://www.openssl.org/related/binaries.html, e.g. http://www.slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html
d) download the ICU Windows binary (icu4c-4_2_0_1-Win32-msvc9.zip) from http://icu-project.org/download/4.2.html
e) download the SpiderMonkey source-code (js-1.7.0.tar.gz) from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/js/
Step 2: Installing the pre-requisites
a) run otp_win32_R13B01.exe to install Erlang into directory c:\erl-5.7.2
b) run the Visual C++ installer (since I had Visual Studio 2008 installed this step is not tested)
c) run the win32OpenSSL_Light-0_9_8k.exe to install the OpenSSL libraries into directory c:\openssl-0.9.8
d) unpack the ICU package into directory c:\icu-4.2.0.1
e) unpack the SpiderMonkey source-code into directory c:\js-1.7.0
Step 3: Configuring the pre-requistes
a) run werl.exe from c:\erl-5.7.2\bin to start the Erlang shell (exit the shell if it works, otherwise check the installation)
please check that mochiweb is not available inside the lib directory
- use a SVN client a-la TortoiseSVN to check-out the Mochiweb source-code at http://code.google.com/p/mochiweb/ to c:\mochiweb-trunk
- (from the DOS prompt) compile the sources using the bash and make from the mozilla-build directory
-- open een DOS box
-- start the bash shell with \mozilla-build-1.3\msys\bin\bash.exe --login -i
-- from this shell type cd c:/mochiweb-trunk/src
-- type make to build mochiweb
-- copy the c:\mochiweb-trunk\ebin directory to c:\erl-5.7.2\lib\mochiweb\ebin
b) run nmake.exe from c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 9.0\vc\bin
c) check for lib*.dll in the c:\openssl-0.9.8 directory
d) check for lib*.dll in the c:\icu-4.2.0.1\bin directory and copy lib*.dll to c:\erl-5.7.2\bin
e) check for *.c in the c:\js-1.7.0\src directory
please check that there are no *.dll or *.exe files in the directory
- go to http://www.mozilla.org/js/spidermonkey/ and read how to build SpiderMonkey
- go to https://developer.mozilla.org/en/SpiderMonkey_Build_Documentation and read how to build SpiderMonkey
- go to https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Windows_Build_Prerequisites and read how to build SpiderMonkey
-- download http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/libraries/win32/MozillaBuildSetup-1.3.exe and install into directory c:\mozilla-build-1.3
-- run start-msvc9.bat
-- within this shell use cd to go to the js-1.7.0\src directory and run make -f Makefile.ref (see the SpiderMonkey documentation that you just have read), now we have created a debug version of SpiderMonkey, use make DEBUG_OPT=1 -f Makefile.ref to build a normal version of SpiderMonkey, use the Windows Explorer to view the contents of the c:\js-1.7.0.\src directory, it contains two new folders (WINNT5.1_DBG.OBJ and WINNT5.1_OPT.OBJ).
-- we now have the SpiderMonkey Javascript engine js.exe and can exit the shell
-- copy the js.exe and the js32.dll to the c:\erl-5.7.3\bin directory and rename js.exe to couch_js.exe
Step 3: Download CouchDB
Step 5: Install CouchDB
