Can it be built on Windows?

First, you need to get some unix utilities for windows. Git of course.
|
|
|
|
|
Also rsync, and a `cp` command that understands at least `cp -p`, and
|
|
|
|
|
`uuid`, and `xargs` and `sha1sum`. Note that some of these could be
|
|
|
|
|
replaced with haskell libraries to some degree.

There are probably still some places where it assumes / as a path
|
|
|
|
|
separator, although I fixed probably almost all by now.

Then windows versions of these functions could be found,

|
|
|
which are all the ones that need POSIX, I think. A fair amount of this,
|
|
|
|
|
the stuff to do with signals and users, could be empty stubs in windows.
|
|
|
|
|
The file manipulation, particularly symlinks, would probably be the main
|
|
|
|
|
challenge.

A good starting point is
|
|
|
|
|
<http://hackage.haskell.org/package/unix-compat-0.3.0.1>. However, note
|
|
|
|
|
that its implementations of stuff like `createSymbolicLink` are stubs.
