Hi,
Thanks for all answers. Please let me add that I do use CVS
(migrating
to
SVN) and the reason to use samba is that doing this allows the
developer
machine (windows) to access the shares hosted in a linux server so
when
he/she tests it will be run in the 'same' environment that the
staging and
production servers and because in order to assure browser
compatibility
they
have to test from firefox/IE.
So, in order to allow phpunit to be ran, have the firefox/IE
support and
use
xdebug I have two basic options:
a) stay with windows, install XAMPP (or any other all-in-one). And
live
with the fact that some things will have to be taken care of (such as
PATH differences between unix/windows)
b) switch to linux with the development stack, enable a windows
server to
be
connected from rdesktop so they can test the IE
In both cases I'll have extra work in order to maintain the
developer's
machine somewhat synchronized with the production server.
Am I missing a third/fourth (better) etc option?
why not switch everything to linux and run IE in wine or vmware on the
developer's machine? that way you don't have to maintain windows
machines
at all
Or depending on your budget, Switch the developers to Macintosh
computers, install windows via parallels, and then you can test in Mac/
Unix/Windows all from 1 computer :)
