[Sandweb-users] SandWeb-ALPHA works under Win2k/Cygwin

[Rob H. <ro...@na...>]

Hello,


I got the SandWeb ALPHA release running under Windows 2000 w/ Cygwin
without too much fuss, I had to install these from http://www.cygwin.com :

make
apache
perl
cvs

I then had to satisfy dependencies on everything, I just tried to run
SandWeb's Makefile.PL and ended up getting XML::Simple ( depended on XML::SAX, 
XML::Namespaces, Test::Harness, Test::Simple ) and HTML::Template.

I think that was all, there might have been more.

SandWeb's "make install" put everything in useful places in Cygwin,
so after figuring out what user to install it under everything worked
fine ( I was able to set up a repo and check out a module through it ).

For the upcoming BETA, I think you'd just need "expect" from CygWin
also, and you'd probably want "ssh" ( although it's optional I guess ).

The ALPHA only supports local repositories, while the BETA will support
local, pserver and ssh.

XML::SAX includes a pure-perl parser, so I didn't have to get expat
working. Supposedly expat is higher-performance, and it might work
just fine under Cygwin, but I didn't want to wait to download gcc 
through Cygwin :)



Thanks,
Rob
