Does anybody have a POSIX c environment on Windows and/or have a friend who
does?
I'd like to know how close we are to being able to run on Windows.
I expect several low level routines may be missing. ntp_adjtime is a good example. I'd like too get a list.
It should be a simple as
mkdir xxx
cd xxx
download using tar
wget https://ftp.ntpsec.org/pub/releases/ntpsec-1.2.1.tar.gz
tar -xzf ntpsec-1.2.1.tar.gz
cd ntpsec-1.2.1
or using git
git clone g...@gitlab.com:NTPsec/ntpsec.git
cd ntpsec
Then:
./waf configure -k
./waf build -k
-k tells waf to keep going rather than bail on the first fatal error.
waf needs Python (2 or 3)
We need bison
We expect OpenSSL libraries (but see below)
We need what Linux/BSD calls a python development environment.
If Windows doesn't have the equivalent, we should be able to build ntpd without it. It's only needed by utilities like ntpq and friends. But that will take a small amount of work to add an option to configure.
This will drop the need for libssl
./waf configure --disable-nts
but we still need libcrypto
There may be other optional requirements that I can't think of right now.
This may provide info:
./waf configure --help
The source of buildprep may be helpful
-------
Of course, I don't know anything about Windows. So, it may be much more complicated than that. If so, I'd like to get a high level view of what it would take to get far enough to learn what low level APIs are missing.
I'd happily donate a pitcher of beer (or the local equivalent) to the project if we can arrange the logistics.
