[Open-scap] Building on Windows

[Chris Grahlmann]

Simon,
Thanks for the info. I grabbed an old version and it gets past the probes but fails and puts me in header file hell. I googled around and see that other people are having the same issue. I'll see if I can resolve it.

Hello Chris,

It seems that these windows instructions are dated. The --disable-probes option of ./configure command has been dropped by ad723e1cf5b5014095a3f2f5743384239a903d3b.

Reading through code, I guess you will not be able to build master without fsdev.c support or makefile changes. And the fsdev.c seems to be currently implemented only for posix like systems.

You can try to rebuild older sources (without that breaking patch).

I remember that there were some users who managed to compile on windows, but I am not sure if they were able to contribute patches back to the community.

We will happily review your patches!

Best regards,
