Hadoop 2.6.0 build on Windows 8.1 fails - Ant BuildException - maven

Question

Hello I'm trying to build hadoop 2.6.0 on Windows 8.1. Unfortunately without luck so far.
I have installed:
jdk1.7.0_71 (added Variable JAVA_HOME with value C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_71 to the User Variables)
cygwin64 (added its installation-directory as value D:\cygwin64\bin to the PATH Variable under System Variables)
Maven 3.2.5 (added its installation-directory as value D:\maven\bin to the PATH Variable under System Variables)
Protocol Buffer 2.5 (added its installation-directory as value D:\protobuf to the PATH Variable under System Variables)
Visual Studio 2010
In the Visual Studio 2010 Command Prompt (started as Administrator) I have changed the drive to d: and used the folder of the hadoop src as a starting point ("D:\hdp").
I do again set the JAVA_HOME in short notation and do set the Platform
set JAVA_HOME=C:\PROGRA~1\Java\jdk1.7.0_71
set Platform=x64
Afterwards I try to build hadoop using the following Maven command:
mvn -e -X package -Pdist -DskipTests -Dtar
After Building fails at "Apache Hadoop Common" stating the following:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.hadoop:hadoop-maven-plugins:2.6.0:protoc (compile-protoc) on project hadoop-common: org.apache.maven.plugin.MojoExecutionException: protoc failure -> [Help 1]
I have slightly changed the file "ProtocMojo.java" under D:\hdp\hadoop-maven-plugins\src\main\java\org\apache\hadoop\maven\plugin\protoc by inserting the following afer line 56 in the file:
protocCommand = "D:\\protobuf\\protoc.exe";
This helps to build further to "Apache Hadoop HDFS" where it fails again stating as follows:

[ERROR] After correcting the problems, you can resume the build with the command

This is where I'm stucked and do not know how to solve this problem. Help is appreciated as I am new to hadoop and building in general.
Thanks!

Answer 1

I had the same error. Fixed it by making sure the cmake wasn't the one that comes with cygwin. For some reason, that cmake doesn't recognize Visual Studio.

Answer 2

Did you forget the native-win profile? Try mvn package -Pdist,native-win -DskipTests -Dtar
I've built hadoop on Windows before and didn't have to change any source code. Try changing the source back, run the above command, and post more of the protoc error you got with maven.
