run buildbot on Windows XP

I recently stumbled over buildbot and wanted to give it a try. My problem is that I have to run it under Windows because we don't use Linux on workstations or servers in my company.

I've already tried different installations:

python 2.6, Twisted-9.0.0-py2.6, buildbot 0.7.12

python 2.6, pywin32-214-py2.6, Twisted-9.0.0-py2.6, buildbot 0.7.12

python 2.4, pywin32-214-py2.4, Twisted-9.0.0-py2.4, buildbot 0.7.12

and tried to run it in a Windows XP VM.

In all installations I ran the buildbot test suite and go开发者_JAVA技巧t several errors and the buildbot documentation sais that no test should fail.

Does anybody here have experience with buildbot under Windows?

Is it worth the pain or do I have to use Linux?

Have you tried running it with Python 2.4 and Twisted 2.5 (old, I know). Also, make sure you have ZopeInterface installed.

I have personally never used it with Windows, but will try and let you know what results I get.

I don't think that many people are running buildmasters on Windows.

I have a Windows buildslave running:

• buildbot 0.8.0
• twisted 10.0.0
• zopeinterface 3.6.1

which appears to work fine though haven't tried the test set.
