Hi folks FYI I've done a few notes based on FAQs on the list over recent weeks to help other windows users get relaxing quickly:
http://dch.posterous.com/getting-started-with-couchdb-on-windows-in-4 - quick start guide, using couch.io hosting http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Quirks_on_Windows - longer notes on the wiki which need some tweaking & includes the above notes as well - Is there anything people need added or think is missing? Finally, I think I've worked out my last hurdle in being able to compile fully couch from scratch on windows but will need a few more days on a fresh build to confirm this. I will post back and would be keen for some people to test this out. In particular I don't have a fresh 32-bit windows (XP or later) but an Amazon Windows 2003 Server install is probably close enough. cheers Dave
