Steve, I'm responding to your email from 1/6/2014 asking for help with building on Windows.
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/hadoop-mapreduce-user/201401.mbox/%3CCALEj8ePTj6hZjqA%3D8sVG6J-%2BvMOYNn15vcYv1aAA%3DYhP-gKLwQ%40mail.gmail.com%3E I lost the original thread, so I'm pasting the full contents from the archived message below. Sorry that this isn't available as a binary distribution yet. That's definitely a TODO. It sounds like you've already followed the instructions in BUILDING.txt and had a successful build for winutils.exe, but not hadoop.dll. Can you provide more details about the problem you're seeing with the hadoop.dll build? Chris Nauroth Hortonworks http://hortonworks.com/ I usually run Hadoop on a linux cluster but do most of my development in single machine mode under windows. This was fairly straightforward for 0.2. For 1.0 I needed to copy and fix FileUtils but for 2.0 I am expected to build 2 files from source - WinUtils.exe and hadoop.dll. There is really only ONE serious windows configuration: 64 bit intel and NO good reason why these files could not be available in a binary distribution - Is anyone using Hadoop 2.X and developing under windows whi can help. My configuration builds WunUtils.exe but not hadoop.dll and fails trying to set permission on a staging file file:/tmp/hadoop-Steve/mapred/staging/Steve2116067144/.staging I could use help and advice -- Steven M.
