I've set up a more basic version of bryan's One Source Tree cross-development setup, where you do all your python and xml editing in one place, then export it via an SMB share to other machines. (BryanStearnsDevEnvNotes) No more copying files! hooray!

My primary machine is Linux, where all source code editing takes place. I have a virtual machine running XP. Each has its own checked out source tree with its own "make install". To run on Linux, I just use the standard release/RunChandler.

On XP, I run from inside the Linux tree off the samba share, but I use the binaries & release/RunChandler.bat script from XP's tree.

alias winrun="CHANDLERBIN=c:/main/full/chandler c:/main/full/chandler/release/RunChandler.bat"
% cd z:/partial/chandler   ## z: is the samba share
% winrun --create

I have to cd into the linux tree first, to implicitly set CHANDLERHOME. it could be set manually as well.
