I successfully use the tup build system on a Debian based system. According to the website, it should also run under Windows. I downloaded the latest version from their website for Windows, unzipped it and added the directory to the PATH env variable.

Unfortunately, I always get the following error: tup error: failed to create child process: No such file or directory

Did anyone manage to run tup under Win 8 64bit? How?

    What tool are you trying to run in tup? What's the exact command? Have you tried the most simple command like "|> echo hello > file.txt |> file.txt"? – Freddie Chopin Sep 08 '14 at 21:09

Tup has added support for 64-bit Windows only recently (see the original commit here).

Since tup uses DLL injection to intercept the file-system and process-creation operations, it needed to have both 32-bit and 64-bit DLLs and properly working injection mechanism for both platforms.
