Agenda/Notes:
1. Cathal, Intel: Full team attending are good with moving next call to
Wednesday, same time slot.
Requesting feedback, if there are any impacts to this move?
2. Thomas, Mellanox: We need unit tests for windows.
Tal (Mellanox) logged bug, requesting the addition of windows testing
https://bugs.dpdk.org/show_bug.cgi?id=286.
Community lab next meeting is 18-jun-19
Thomas will try to attend to support request.
3. Thomas/Jim, Mellanox/Intel: Open forum in Japan (11-jun-19)
Presentation included DPDK windows.

4. Thomas, Mellanox: Would be good to have a public overview of Windows
Development progress.
Possibly public editable page + public info page.
AR: Thomas/Harini : to seek to create page on dpdk.org
5. Haseeb, Marvell: In the process of supporting Marvell FastlinQ cards
on the 18.08 draft branch.
The changes are done in netuio, pci and qede modules.
We’re completing internal review and will be able to send the
changes for review soon.
7. Ranjit/Pallavi, Intel: We may need to abstract out some common code,
if it’s not supported on windows.
dirent.h - priority to find license info for this file
getopt.h - priority to find license info for this file
pthread.h -> contains implementation
rand48.h
sched.h -> contains implementation
syslog.h - priority to find license info for this file
termios.h
unistd.h -> contains implementation
net/ethernet.h
netinet/in.h -> contains implementation
netinet/tcp.h -> contains only include guard
sys/netbsd/queue.h -> contains implementation
sys/_iovec
sys/_sockaddr
sys/_storage.h
sys/_termios.h
sys/_types.h
sys/cdefs.h -> contains only include guard
sys/mman.h
sys/queue.h
8. Ranjit/Pallavi/Zhaoyan, Intel: Meson/make - Windows is now integrated
into Intel CI and reporting to dpdk.org patchwork.
Request made to remove GCC line & update Kernel version capture info
for the test listing against windows.
9. Harini, Microsoft: MS Patches in preparation of Windows support for
CXGBE is already available in 19.05 repo upstream.
CXGBE PMD will compile fine against Windows DPDK using Intel C++
Compiler up to v19.02.
[PATCH 0/4] net/cxgbe: fix build for Microsoft Windows OS support (Rahul
Lakkireddy)
[PATCH 1/4] net/cxgbe: use relative paths for including header files
(Rahul Lakkireddy) [PATCH 2/4] net/cxgbe: fix macros related to logs for
Windows (Rahul Lakkireddy)
[PATCH 3/4] net/cxgbe: only redefine symbols when not available for
Windows (Rahul Lakkireddy)
9. Ravi, Cisco: Ravi Anand team working with the PMD for the Cisco
Virtual interface Cards.
10. Tal, Mellanox: For bus/pci: Can refer to windpdk-v18.08 branch in
draft repo.
Code there is built using clang and functional. (No meson support yet).
Currently working on Ninja & meson compiler. But hit some issues and
resolved by upgrading (able to debug: upgrade CLang to version 8.0.0) &
recompiling.
Now able to build in debug mode (DPDK.org guidance needs to be
updated). For new patches from 19.08 onwards: use repo windpdk-next-dev
(Harini is the maintainer).
Windows will only use meson, going forward. Currently compiling with
clang, but not with meson.
11. Ranjit, Intel: common source using a function asprintf().
Does allocation of buffers. This function does not exist for windows.
How should this be resolved? We should change the common code to
enable this for windows.
(Thomas) Please check with the author of the change, David Marchand.
