Please describe the problem.
On a default, clean install on Windows, annex get over HTTP fails, as neither wget nor curl have all necessary DLLs.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
- Install git from git-scm.org, and git-annex from git-annex.branchable.com.
- Don't install, or remove if installed, Cygwin.
- clone an annex over HTTP
- attempt to 'annex get' a file
- get dialog box, explaining missing DLLs.
What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
Windows 7.
Please provide any additional information below.
Installing Cygwin and adding to path seems to fix issue.
The Windows installer includes numerous DLLs from Cygwin. I have tested it in a non-cygwin environment and it seems to work for me, and for other users. At least generally.. perhaps it is missing something used by wget or curl?
Can you please provide the names of the DLLs that seem to be missing?
