I would tell my friend just to use the online versions of my scripts, but he is working with tribes up in the mountain regions where they have very poor cellular reception and no internet. He comes into town once in awhile and catches up with friends online before going back "out of contact." He needs my scripts to do some of his work--and he'll need to synchronize his work with the online server from time to time if others are to benefit by it (and if he is to have a good backup of it).

The link you provided looked vaguely familiar--sure enough, I'd been there already. There is no working make/cmake/nmake/gmake... on the Windows computer, so even this fastcgi option fails to install. In trying to use one of the 'make' options, I've seen errors including anything from not finding the apxs executable to having a recursive path (infinite loop) in the directory tree which stopped the process. Many, many "file not found" type of errors, in most cases of which the files actually exist on the system (not the case for the apxs executable).

It's been a good reminder for why I left Windows and never looked back. My friend claims he's forced by certain pieces of equipment into the Windows mold, as there are no Mac drivers for them. I certainly did promote Mac over Windows while he was here. Sadly, some are hard to persuade.
