Is ActiveFedora supported on Windows?

[hsmith]

I asked an earlier question a few months ago regarding the install
instructions posted in 2009 for ActiveFedora on Windows. I was not
able to install following these instructions, is a Windows install
supported? It seems not, i'd just like some verification before I
spend any more time considering this a possible wrapper to Fedora.

thanks

Hi Harry,

As far as I know, yes you can use ActiveFedora on Windows.  We don't actively test on Windows so the occasional Windows-specific bug might creep into the code without us knowing about it.  If anyone does catch any Windows bugs, we will be happy to repair them or accept patches.

Simon Lamb at Unviersity of Hull provided instructions for running Hydrangea (which requires active-fedora) on Windows.  Here's the original email: http://groups.google.com/group/hydra-tech/browse_thread/thread/2cf60e57167a02e7/e0705981664eba9d?lnk=gst&q=windows#e0705981664eba9d   

I've also posted the instructions on github at https://github.com/projecthydra/hydrangea/blob/master/INSTALL_WINDOWS.textile

It seems that all of the issues he ran into were for libraries other than active-fedora, so I'd say you're good to go.
