I am trying to compile Vowpal Wabbit on a Windows 7 machine and after trying Netbeans, Cygwin, and MinGW I’m starting to wonder if I’m trying something that’s even feasible.
Each of the above has required **.h files that aren’t designed for windows such as sys/socket.h.
Anyone that has actually done this, I would appreciate any suggestions.
John Langford recently made a post to the VW mailing list saying a Windows port was in progress, but still broken in certain respects. I would suspect that it currently is not possible to get VW running on windows (but I haven’t actually tried)
