Hi All,

As mentioned on the page- https://wiki.squid-cache.org/KnowledgeBase/Windows, the pre-built binary packages are available for Squid 3.3 and 4. However, the current stable version of Squid is 5 with version 6 and 7 already under development.

Given that pre-built packages are not readily available for Windows, I am hoping to compile version 5/6/7 for Windows. However, the instructions provided here- https://wiki.squid-cache.org/KnowledgeBase/Windows#compiling are not user friendly and sort of incomplete.

FYI, The OS-specific pages assume you are already somewhat familiar with building code. So that page lists the build details that are unusual and specific to Windows.

The full build instructions are at https://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/CompilingSquid


Does anyone have any experience in compiling Squid for Windows? If so, can you please share instructions for the same?

The Windows situation is a bit complicated, as you can see by the number of sub-sections in that "#compiling" section.

Cygwin has been maintained by Diladele. I am not sure what the current situation with v5+ is there. Mingw64 was building a few versions ago, but had some C++11/17 support issues to work out.

If you want to try a build, identifying the process issues and/or fixes are very welcome. Feedback on squid-dev mailing list or our bugzilla please.
