Compiling on Windows

[korayal]

I am trying to make this work on a windows xp 32 bit OS to collect logback logs that are rotated daily. (also backing up as zip files the last 15 days)

on logstash-forwarder I noticed that the collection of logs are alright, but the zip files are failed to generate on the logback side, which I think means that logback-forwarder locks the original log file.

It seems the compile support for windows is not ready since log-courier_windows.go (which has errors) doesn't look like log-courier_nonwindows.go

I can test Win 7 x32 & x64 as well as Windows XP x32

Hi @korayal

It is ready. I just need to fix those errors and test it today.

The reason the files are different is because reload and syslog aren't implemented for Windows. It will still work otherwise though.

I'll post back when I've finished to let you know.
