Windows (visual studio) build available?

[winbatch]

Would like to use the library on windows. Wondering if that will be possible given the pthread usage? Would like to avoid Cygwin if possible.

I dont have access to Visual Studio so I cant verify this, but a quick search suggests that pthreads-win32 could be used.

Did a quick attempt to build. There are lots of includes to 'unix only' header files like 'unistd.h', 'sys/socket.h', etc which fail the build (before even getting to the pthread stuff).

I suggest you use cygwin, it should be easier to get going.

Yeah, was hoping to avoid that (in a corporate environment with many
thousands of desktops). If that's my only option hopefully I can
statically link with Cygwin.

Trying cygwin per your suggestion but running into warnings (I had more but removed -Wall and -Werror for now)

librdkafka now builds and operates correctly under Cygwin

[winbatch]

Apparently there is a free version of visual studio express. If you could get it to build there that would help immensely. I tried here but there are lots of unix specific includes (unistd.h, etc)

[edenhill]

This is unfortunately not something I'm likely to do in my free time, but I could do it as a contracting job.

[winbatch]

Fair enough
