BackgrounDRb on Windows

Hi,

I need to use BackgrounDRb, but the newest version is not supported for Windows.

1) Does anyone know where to get an older version of BackgrounDRb that works with Windows? 2) Does anyone know if the 0.3 version of BackgrounDRb will support Windows, and if so, when it will come out?

Thanks

The old version that is win compatible is here:

svn checkout svn+ssh://developername@rubyforge.org/var/svn/backgroundrb

  I am not opposed to having 0.3.x work on windows but someone is going to have to step up and make it work as I don't use windows at all. I have tried to make the new version work but windows lack of fork is a dealbreaker.

Hello, If you want to trying to run Backgroundrb on windows.

Use CYGWIN on windows and run Backgroundrb through CYGWIN command Prompt.
