| Since 2.1.99-test5, pciutils should also be compilable on Windows. Thanks |
| to Alexander Stock for contributing the port. |
| |
| Updated after version 2.2.6 to compile again, and with MinGW, even (only?) |
| cross-compiling. (Hopefully it works with MSVC too.) |
| |
| To use this port on NT-based systems, it is required to have SeTcbPrivilege |
| (Act as part of the operating system privilege), which can be enabled in User |
| Accounts settings (take effect after next login). By default this privilege is |
| not enabled for any non-system user. Or alternatively it is required to be in |
| local Administrators group and on Windows 2000 SP4 or higher systems to have |
| SeImpersonatePrivilege (Impersonate a client after authentication privilege) |
| which is by default enabled for all local Administrators accounts. There is no |
| special requirement for DOS-based systems. |
| |
| To compile this port, run following command: |
| |
| make CROSS_COMPILE=i586-mingw32msvc- HOST=i386-windows ZLIB=no IDSDIR="" |
| |
| Sometimes compilation may fail due to broken or missing getopt implementation. |
| In this case try to compile with additional make option: COMPAT_GETOPT=yes |
| |
| ================================================================================ |
| BEWARE: The current implementation pokes I/O ports to access the PCI devices |
| directly. This leads to several problems: some devices are invisible, extended |
| PCIe configuration space is not available, and there are many potential race |
| conditions. Instead, libpci should use the proper Windows drivers. |
| |
| Unfortunately, the Windows port currently lacks a maintainer. If you are willing |
| to step up and fix the issues, please let me know. -- Martin Mares |
