Hi @, Sorry - scratch my previous email... try again! Unofficial builds are linked to from the wiki at http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Installing_on_Windows I've put up current ones recently at https://github.com/dch/couchdb/downloads and so far feedback has been positive in general with a couple of build issues fixed along the way. I lack systems for testing so would love some more help. There are 3 functional issues to my knowledge - COUCHDB-1032 CouchDB fails to bind to IPv6 address on Windows -- shouldn't impact most users COUCHDB-577 couchdb @ winxp: Simple RegExp's can not be executed -- workaround available COUCHDB-963 Erlang processes crash when running the delayed_commits test on Windows Server 2008 -- I've succeeded in replicating this on a stock amazon ec2 W2008 DataCenter large instance. & also a "won't fix" - can't replicate between 0.11.0 and 1.0.x - upgrade is recommended in this case. Questions: - what other issues are people experiencing? - what's your deployment base/platform - couch version, # users, # docs etc? A few ideas: - make a "WinCouch" like Jan's CouchDBX that has a firefox wrapper around the outside of CouchDB. No idea if this is actually hard or not. - extend this to be a stand-alone app - start/stop buttons, displays either futon GUI or your custom HTML which "of course" would be a couchapp - provide a build script so people can neatly package these homebrewed apps up themselves without needing to build erlang from scratch Other open CouchDB Windows-related jira cases below if you're curious. The following do not impact functionality but are (slowly) getting cleaned up as I get my head around things: COUCHDB-889 improved docs for windows compile from source in INSTALL.Windows COUCHDB-851 Windows build forces remake of files COUCHDB-733 INSTALL.Windows wording suggests it's OK for cygwin to use /usr/bin/link. Is this intentional? COUCHDB-695 Windows release artefacts should not include test database or log files COUCHDB-694 Windows `make dist` should create release artefacts in the root source directory COUCHDB-440 Fix windows libname_spec hacks in configure.ac COUCHDB-439 Fix bogus $(INSTALL) of couchspawnkillable.exe on Windows COUCHDB-326 Occasional {"error":"error","reason":"eacces"} errors deleting a database on Windows -- think this is now fixed since 0.11.0 COUCHDB-307 windows drive letters in 'database_dir' breaks _all_dbs A+ Dave
