Re: [Condor-devel] Compilation Condor 7.5.0 (and previous versions) on Windows XP using Visual Studio 9.0

[Matthew Farrellee <matt@xxxxxxxxxx>]

As Tim mentioned, make sure you are using ActiveState perl.

Also, I remember there were issues with usernames that had spaces in them - though that might be a complete red herring.

As for development, Windows is used as well as OS X and Linux. There are probably more people developing Condor on Linux than Windows.

Best,


matt
