NB:  When you open a Cygwin shell, the Windows environment variables, including PATH, are imported into the shell environment. When we install the following items, we will update the Windows environment variables.

Step 2) Install the latest

...

Eclipse

Eclipse is available from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/

• Eclipse does not have an O/S-specific installer. Thus, the .zip you download does not include an .MSI file
• At the time of writing the latest version was Eclipse Juno (4.2)
• Place the unzipped download in the folder you want to run Eclipse from.

Step 3)

...

Install Apache Tomcat 6.0.33

...

Apache Tomcat is the open source web server and servlet container that hosts CloudStack's management server.

• The web server portion is pure Java. In contrast, Apache web server is written in C
• The servlet container conforms Java Servlet and the JavaServer Pages (JSP) specifications.

You can download Tomcat from = http://archive.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-6/v6.0.33/bin/apache-tomcat-6.0.33.exe

Step 4) Install the downloaded tomcat. While installing, change the path to C:\ and don’t put in any spaces.. you will need to set tomcat_home to that directory in a file inside cloudstack-oss (actually I didn’t need to do this, looks like adding the path to Tomcat\bin\ in PATH, and defining CATALINA_HOME as an env variable in Windows (google it up) was enough.

...

• Unlike Eclipse, the downloaded Tomcat is a self-installing executable.
  • Leave the port at 8080 and the username/password empty

...

• • Your JRE will be auto detected. Mine was: C:\Program Files\Java

...

• • \jre

To inform the Cygwin environment of where Tomcat is, update your Windows environment variables.

• Define CATALINA_HOME as a Windows System environment variable, and give it the value of the install folder for Tomcat. E.g. C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0
  • Unlike JAVA, which an environment variable named after the product to locate its install directory (JAVA_HOME), Tomcat uses an environment variable named after the servlet container component (CATALINA_HOME)
• Add '%CATALINA_HOME%\bin' to the Windows System environment variable PATH

NB: Test your environment variables by opening a Cygwin shell and typing 'which Tomcat6'. This should return the path to the Tomcat executable.

Step 4

...

) In a cygwin window, do a git clone of the cloudstack-oss source code into some directory.

              -> create a cloudstack-oss directory, cd into it and fire:

              -> git clone ssh://<username>@git.cloud.com/var/lib/git/cloudstack-oss

Step

...

5) Edit the file cloudstack-oss/build/override/build-cloud.properties to include a tomcat_home variable:

              -> tomcat_home=C:\Tomcat 6.0

Step

...

6) Install "mkisofs" in windows if for any reason cygwin’s mkisofs isn’t picked up.
