Hi Folks

Am trying to set up Buck on Windows 7.

Per the following advice, I've installed Watchman and Buck  and they seem to run i.e. we can build projects:

With watchman, Buck will use a daemon which will prevent Buck from parsing all of your build files every time and cache some other things as well. It is strongly recommended that you install Watchman.

However, I'm not sure how to tell Buck about Watchman? Does Buck automatically startup Watchman?  Am I missing a step?

Have also tried running the contents of buckd directly at the command prompt but it just silently exits which is expected behaviour on windows (for now anyway)?

cheers

Rory.

I can report that on macOS, Buck is automagically aware of Watchman's presence. Not sure about Windows.

Best,
Samuel
