-Apache CouchDB README.Windows
-==============================
-
-For a high-level guide to Microsoft Windows.
-
-Dependencies
-------------
-
-You will need the following installed:
-
- * Erlang OTP (>=R12B5) (http://erlang.org/)
- * ICU (http://icu.sourceforge.net/)
- * OpenSSL (http://www.openssl.org/)
- * Mozilla SpiderMonkey (1.8) (http://www.mozilla.org/js/spidermonkey/)
- * libcurl (http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/)
- * Cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com/)
- * Visual Studio 2008 (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/vstudio/default.aspx)
-
-General Notes
--------------
-
- * When installing Erlang, you must build it from source.
-
- The CouchDB build makes use of a number of the Erlang build scripts.
-
- * When installing ICU, select the binaries built with Visual Studio 2008.
-
- * When installing Cygwin, be sure to select all the `development` tools.
-
- * When installing libcurl, be sure to install by hand.
-
- The Cygwin binaries are incompatible and will not work with Erlang.
-
-Setting Up Cygwin
------------------
-
-Before starting any Cygwin terminals, run:
-
- set CYGWIN=nontsec
-
-To set up your environment, run:
-
- [VS_BIN]/vcvars32.bat
-
-Replace [VS_BIN] with the path to your Visual Studio `bin` directory.
-
-You must check that:
-
- * The `which link` command points to the Microsoft linker.
-
- * The `which cl` command points to the Microsoft compiler.
-
-If you do not do this, the ones found in `/usr/bin` may be used instead.
-
-Building Erlang
----------------
-
-You must include OpenSSL.
-
-However, you can skip the GUI tools by running:
-
- echo "skipping gs" > lib/gs/SKIP
-
- echo "skipping ic" > lib/ic/SKIP
-
-Follow the rest of the Erlang instructions as described.
-
-After running:
-
- ./otp_build release -a
-
-You should run:
-
- ./release/win32/Install.exe
-
-This will set up the release/win32/bin directory correctly.
-
-To set up your environment for building CouchDB, run:
-
- eval `./otp_build env_win32`
-
-To set up the `ERL_TOP` environment variable, run:
-
- export ERL_TOP=[ERL_TOP]
-
-Replace `[ERL_TOP]` with the Erlang source directory name.
-
-Remember to use `/cygdrive/c/` instead of `c:/` as the directory prefix.
-
-To set up your path, run:
-
- export PATH=$ERL_TOP/release/win32/erts-5.7.2/bin:$PATH
-
-If everything was successful, you should be ready to build CouchDB.
-
-Relax.
-
-Building CouchDB
-----------------
-
-Once you have satisfied the dependencies you should run:
-
- ./configure \
- --with-js-include=/cygdrive/c/path_to_seamonkey_include \
- --with-js-lib=/cygdrive/c/path_to_seamonkey_lib \
- --with-win32-icu-binaries=/cygdrive/c/path_to_icu_binaries_root \
- --with-erlang=$ERL_TOP/release/win32/usr/include \
- --with-win32-curl=/cygdrive/c/path/to/curl/root/directory \
- --with-openssl-bin-dir=/cygdrive/c/openssl/bin \
- --with-msvc-redist-dir=/cygdrive/c/dir/with/vcredist_platform_executable \
- --prefix=$ERL_TOP/release/win32
-
-This command could take a while to complete.
-
-If everything was successful you should see the following message:
-
- You have configured Apache CouchDB, time to relax.
-
-Relax.
-
-To install CouchDB you should run:
-
- make install
-
-If everything was successful you should see the following message:
-
- You have installed Apache CouchDB, time to relax.
-
-Relax.
-
-First Run
----------
-
-You can start the CouchDB server by running:
-
- $ERL_TOP/release/win32/bin/couchdb.bat
-
-When CouchDB starts it should eventually display the following message:
-
- Apache CouchDB has started, time to relax.
-
-Relax.
-
-To check that everything has worked, point your web browser to:
-
- http://127.0.0.1:5984/_utils/index.html
-
-From here you should run the test suite.
