git-annex now does Windows!

This port is now in reasonably good shape for command-line use of git-annex. The assistant and webapp are also usable. There are some known problems and parts that don't work. See windows support for current status.

The autobuilder is not currently able to run the test suite, so testing git-annex on Windows is up to you! To check that the build of git-annex works in your Windows system, you are encouraged to run the test suite before using git-annex on real data. After installation, run git annex test. There will be a lot of output; the important thing is that it should end with "All tests passed".

autobuilds

A daily build is also available, thanks to Yury V. Zaytsev and NEST.

building it yourself

To build git-annex from source on Windows, you need to install the Haskell Platform, Mingw, and Cygwin. Use Cygwin to install: gcc rsync git wget ssh gnupg

Once the prerequisites are installed, run:

cabal update
git clone git://git-annex.branchable.com/ gitannex
cd gitannex
build

(To build the git-annex installer, you also need to install the NulSoft installer system.)
