The git-annex Windows port is not ready for prime time. But it does exist
now! --[[Joey]]
## status
* Does not work with Cygwin's build of git (that git does not consistently
support use of DOS style paths, which git-annex uses on Windows).
Must use Msysgit.
* rsync special remotes are known buggy.
* Ssh connection caching does not work on Windows, so `git annex get`
has to connect twice to the remote system over ssh per file, which
is much slower than on systems supporting connection caching.
* The test suite does not 100% pass, although it seems to be getting
quite close! Current known failures:
* "conflict_resolution (mixed directory and file)" test fails;
not because the conflict resolution fails, but the sync fails
pushing to synced/master with a non-fast-forward failure.
* Some tests fail if git has not had the username and email configured.
This is odd because the test suite goes to some lengths to
get env vars set to prevent this problem.
* `git annex assistant` has not been tested, is probably quite incomplete
and/or buggy.
* Doesn't daemonize. Maybe use
<http://hackage.haskell.org/package/Win32-services>
or perhaps easier,
<http://hackage.haskell.org/package/Win32-services-wrapper>
* XMPP library not yet built.
This should work to install the deps, using libs from cygwin
cabal install libxml-sax --extra-lib-dirs=C:\\cygwin\\lib --extra-include-dirs=C:\\cygwin\\usr\\include\\libxml2
cabal install gnuidn --extra-lib-dirs=C:\\cygwin\\lib --extra-include-dirs=C:\\cygwin\\usr\\include\\
cabal install gnutls --extra-lib-dirs=C:\\cygwin\\lib --extra-include-dirs=C:\\cygwin\\usr\\include\\
While the 1st line works, the rest fail oddly. Looks like lack of
quoting when cabal runs c2hs and gcc, as "Haskell Platform" is
taken as 2 filenames. Needs investigation why this happens here
and not other times..
Also needs gsasl, which is not in cygwin.
