git-annex has recently been ported to Windows!

|
|
* First, [install git](http://git-scm.com/downloads)
|
|
|
|
|
* Then, [install git-annex](http://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/windows/current/)
|
|

|
This port is in an early state. While it works well enough to use
|
|
|
|
|
git-annex, many things will not work. See [[todo/windows_support]] for
|
|
|
|
|
current status. Note especially that git-annex always uses [[direct_mode]]
|
|
|
|
|
on Windows.

## building it yourself

To build git-annex from source on Windows, you need to install
|
2013-05-15 00:12:13 +00:00
|
|
|
the Haskell Platform and Cygwin. Use Cygwin to install gcc, rsync, git,
|
|
|
|
|
ssh, and gpg.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then, within Cygwin, git-annex can be compiled following the instructions
|
|
|
|
|
for [[using cabal|cabal]].
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once git-annex is built, the NullSoft installer can be built, as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
2013-05-16 02:31:56 +00:00
|
|
|
cabal install nsis
|
2013-05-15 00:12:13 +00:00
|
|
|
ghc --make Build/NullSoftInstaller.hs
|
|
|
|
|
Build/NullSoftInstaller.exe
|
|
|
|
|
</pre>
|
