I'm attempting to use Couchbase with Node.js on a Windows Server (2003 Standard SP2, 64 bit.) We generally use Windows Servers for all back-end functionality, so it would be ideal for me to be able to set up a Node.js server that interfaces with Couchbase on Windows if possible.
Question: Is it possible to compile libcouchbase on Windows without having to load all of Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 on my server? Might there be another approach for me to get libcouchbase installed on a Windows server? (A different compiler perhaps?)

I don't think we've got any plans about providing a binary package, but I
guess that could come in handy for win32 deployments given that they
normally don't come with a c compiler pre-installed ;)

We definitely do plan this, we just have needed to work through the packaging and testing. I see later in the thread, Sergey has provided some links to current builds.
Sean: please let us know how this works out for you!

It looks like I can't use NPM to install couchnode on Windows - I imagine that is not a targeted platform for the couchnode NPM at this point?
This is what I get:

To be honest I've never tried node.js at all on windows :) All I've done on
windows have so far been building a pure win32 program using libcouchbase
directly.
We are currently beefing up the node.js driver and we'll most likely test
on win32 as well :) Sorry that I can't promise anything
Cheers,
Trond
