> Key: COUCHDB-733
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-733
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Question
> Components: Documentation
> Affects Versions: 0.11
> Environment: Windows 7 with cygwin
> Reporter: Michael Maguire
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: COUCHDB-733_windows_documentation_fix.patch

>
> The file:
> http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/couchdb/trunk/INSTALL.Windows
> states:
> 47 You must check that:
> 48
> 49 * The `which link` command points to the Microsoft linker.
> 50
> 51 * The `which cl` command points to the Microsoft compiler.
> 52
> 53 If you do not do this, the ones found in `/usr/bin` may be used
> instead.
> This makes it sound as though which link and which cl *should* be the
> Microsoft ones, but it's permissible to use the /usr/bin ones.
> Is that the intent?
> If not, can I suggest this says something more like:
> 53 If you do not do this, the ones found in `/usr/bin` would be used
> instead, which won't work properly.
> P.S.: I'm asking because I'm attempting to get the build going, and even
> though I've done vcvars32.bat and 'which cl' is pointing to the Microsoft
> one, 'which link' is still pointing to '/usr/bin/link' and I need to know if
> that's cool or not.
