At the moment you do need MS VS to build on Windows. I had a go at building via Cygwin (which provide unix utilities on Windows) but hit problems that I haven't yet had time to go back to. Another alternative is to try an embedded Linux inside Windows - I use VMware player (freely available) and a Redhat EL image (possibly not freely available - but I expect there are various Fedora images available). There are also other embedded linux projects (like dsl - "dead small linux") that may work without being the resource hog that VMPlayer can be.

I'd like to start trying out the C++ runtime to help with testing the upcoming release. The build instructions at http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/tuscany/cpp/build.txt talk about using Microsoft Visual Studio, I don't have that, is there anyway to build the runtime on Windows without that or is it time for me to go install Linux? ...ant
