00:43 * chris_n2 keeps plugging away
00:54 jcamins_away chris_n2: working on getting Koha running under Windows?
00:54 Your patience is saintly.
00:57 chris_n2 lol
00:58 its actually a whole heap easier now than a couple of years ago when I first started working on it
00:58 only a few minor hiccups
00:58 but building all deps off of cpan does take awhile :-P
01:06 jcamins_away It's easier?
01:06 Huh. I thought it was surely harder, since people are running 2.2 on Windows rather than upgrade.
01:11 chris_n2 well, as far as I know I'm the only one who has had anything later than 2.2 running on windows
01:11 jcamins_away You should post instructions, along with the disclaimer that it's probably a bad idea. ;)
01:11 Why are you running Koha in Windows anyway?
01:11 chris_n2 there's a wiki page describing my journey
01:12 my only real motive is just to be able to say I've done it ;-)
01:12 but there are a number who would like to see a fairly straightforward win32 install using open source components
01:13 jcamins_away I think that would be awesome.
01:13 chris_n2 gmcharlt worked with me on making the installer win32 compatible several years ago
01:13 the maintainer of Strawberry rolled in some core modules several releases ago at my request to help support Koha's deps
01:14 but basically I plink at it when I get the itch in my "spare" time
01:15 and a fresh install of windows begs for it :-)
01:17 jcamins_away Huh. I always thought a fresh install of Windows was begging to be replaced. :P
01:18 chris_n2 sadly that is not always possible
01:18 :'(
01:18 jcamins_away I know. :(
01:19 chris_n2 so for those poor souls who are bound to that ball and chain, maybe one day Koha on win32 will be a reality
01:20 jcamins_away That would be pretty awesome.

02:08 chris_n2 here's the raw install log thus far for any interested peps: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_3.4
02:15 jcamins_away Bother. Anyone know how to deal with a "Wide character in print" error when outputting to STDOUT.
02:15 s/\.$/?/
02:22 chris_n2 is your terminal configured for utf8 encoding?
02:23 jcamins_away I'm piping directly into a file.
02:24 I'm not sure what encoding is configured in the terminal.
02:24 It's set to TERM=xterm-color.
02:25 chris_n2 hmm
02:25 jcamins_away I'm not sure yet that the warnings are actually a problem. I'll load the records, and see if there are any errors.
02:25 chris_n2 there's usually a way to setup encoding in the cli terminal, but I'm not sure if that would affect the piped stream
02:26 * chris_n2 notes that UARS will have several good shots at him this week
02:26 chris_n2 http://www.heavens-above.com/P[…]son&alt=61&tz=EST
02:44 jcamins_away Good news. The records imported fine, warning notwithstanding.
02:52 chris_n2 ahh.. good news indeed
02:55 jcamins_away Alas, I was mistaken.
02:56 One character did not survive.
02:56 Bother.
02:56 I guess I need to figure out why.
02:56 chris_n2 is that the one upon which the entire operation hinges? :-)
02:57 jcamins_away You mean the first one to show up in any search?
02:57 Yep, that's the one.
02:57 chris_n2 lol
02:57 * chris_n2 offers jcamins_away a cup of lemongrass tea
02:57 jcamins_away Thanks.
03:03 Apparently the problem is umlauts.
03:05 It's in the file correctly.
03:11 All fixed.
03:15 chris_n2 last koha dep installed on win32
03:15 ok, time for shuteye
03:15 jcamins_away Hooray!
03:15 Good night.
03:15 * chris_n2 can only stand so much fun in one evening
03:15 chris_n2 g'night
