Our server is windows (I have no choice on server at all). I have no issues. Although I am not doing any trac dev work, I could. we installed: setup_tools from binary for windows python 2.5 from binary for windows apache 2.2 for windows subversion 1.5 for windows the subversion SWIG bindings from binary for apache 2.2 Vim for windows (technically it is gvim, but I use command line) trac and plugins via easy_install (setup tools) graphviz for windows via binary SQLlite browser for windows (comes in handy once in a while) Doxygen for windows TortiseSVN on the server and the client machines, which is nice. I also happen to like pyScripter, which is only for windows, for python coding (mostly from scratch), and I mix in a lot of VI for editing(mostly for maintainence). Also I suspect the win32com extensions for python might come in handy for you. We don't run a virtual machine, and I am sure I missed some things, however, python, apache, svn, setup_tools, and VIm are all available and easy to drop on your Winbox. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Users" group.
