Windows Support

[gsymons]

Is there any plan to support windows 64bit? I want to use goquic, but it will fail as missing libquic.

[serialx]

We currently don't have any Windows development environment. But since Chromium supports Windows platform, I think this is doable. If you are interested in contributing, we are more than happy to help and guide you. :)

Thanks!

@serialx Here are the steps I have made so far in an attempt to compile this on Windows:

• Installed cmake + added it to PATH
• Installed ninja + added it to PATH
• Installed 32bit Strawberry Perl + added it to PATH
• Installed GO and added it to PATH
• Installed NASM and installed it to PATH
• Removed -Werror from boringssl\CMakeLists.txt - line 13 and 14
• Changed boringssl\crypto\bio\CMakeLists.txt to the following in order to prevent building bio_test.exe (which failed)

include_directories(. .. ../../include)

add_library(
  bio

  OBJECT

  bio.c
  bio_mem.c
  buffer.c
  connect.c
  fd.c
  file.c
  hexdump.c
  pair.c
  printf.c
  socket.c
  socket_helper.c
)

# add_executable(
  # bio_test

  # bio_test.c
# )

# target_link_libraries(bio_test crypto)
# if (WIN32)
  # target_link_libraries(bio_test ws2_32)
# endif()

cmake -GNinja gives the following result

ninja now compiles for a while - but gives the following error:

After fighting some more and making minor changes to some source files (that only had partial support for win32/64) - i have made some more progress. 407 of 592 files compiled using CMake & Ninja.

@serialx Any clue on how to proceed? 😄

[igorgatis]

Any progress? I'd like to run a QUIC reverse proxy in the same VM my HTTP/1.1 webserver.
