Run HipHop PHP in Windows

I need to run HipHop PHP on a Windows based development environment. Im running Windows 7, I know the version located at facebook's repository is built for Linux, however I need to run it on Windows.

Some things to consider:

  • I don't want to install a Virtual Machine, I have VMWare, but it would be terrible to install it only for that
  • No CyWin either...

Anyone can help?

It is not possible to run HipHop on Windows.

Here's a quote from Scott MacVicar mailing list post on the subject:

We currently have no plans to add Windows support, if someone within the community comes up with a branch or a patch that provides this then we'll gladly accept it.
