I started reading the libcepfs related code. and it is still a hudge task.
Cygwin seems to me to be the more complete set of ported gnu libraries
to win32.
MSVC is not the tool I will use for the port ... since your work is
slown and hidden most
of the time below a tons of click to do thingies...
Code:block /mingWin or cygwin seems to me the more producing perspective.
first it is closer to tools used by linux developers.
A full porting to Win32 meas you will have to write ceph code in
microsoft compilers C++ or .NET
ways, then you will have to write a port in the same way for each side
libraries that ceph use
and that doesn t exists on MS windows visual studio stuffs...
I m not talking about adapting cout << "you're a coder be happy"; but
rather adapting pthread lib which is everywhere in ceph code.
that can be done... but if it is already done why not using it ?
But truelly the biggest problem in ceph world is that we have two
concurent ways to access
the data on ceph. As far as I understand rbd and cephfs are not
compatible you can t see what
the other did.
We have Rbd and ceph-fs/ceph-fuse so who use what? for what purpose?
with what results?
From that depends what a client port to windows will be.
Can we port everything ceph is on windows? well ceph is a hudge project.
just a quick isolation
of files related to libcephfs.cc shows a 400+ files. Now I try to see if
all those files are needed and if
that number can be reduced.

Yes MSVC and straight win32 is the rock solid way to go. That's where I
would put my late night effort to help.
Me too. I think the main primitives (mutex, cond, thread) are already
well abstracted, so hopefully this is a matter of providing win32 (is it
really still called that??) implementations and adding new wrappers for
other components as needed.

Or, MSVC, frankly.

Yes. But you may wish to think about mingwXX porting rather than
Cygwin,
if you prefer native results.

curious if the discussion on windows portability is relevant here

if
it's better treated as a separate but related effort.
The kernel space talk that's been tossed around probably isn't
relevant, but I'd be nice to learn about cygwin porting if anyone
has
knowledge in this area.
