I have gathered some notes while building and testing QPID M4 on Windows here in the Microsoft Open Source Technology Center (OSTC). I've had the intention of writing these up and making them available for anyone who cared to pull down QPID and build it for themselves. They aren't complete, but might be helpful.The notes cover the following: - what and where to obtain the various sources and technologies for building QPID M4 on Windows - setup and configuration steps to take in order to build QPID M4 on Windows - testing the Windows QPID broker from a Linux system using the QPID test suites - diffs for test files that need to change to build on Windows - makefiles which allow the use of nmake on Windows to build most of the tests and cobble together a qpidbrokers.lib library. I've run most of the Linux tests against the Windows broker successfully. I've built many of the tests on Windows, but haven't run them yet. That's the stage I'm at right now. I'm not sure posting them here is appropriate. We are trying to get an external web site where we can post info like this. It isn't available yet. The notes I have are a little less than 36K. If anyone feels it would be of interest to post to this list, I'd be glad to do so.
How about adding a wiki page on the qpid.apache.org site for this? It sounds like it would be very useful.
