this client is not currently supported on windows unfortunately.

librdkafka is though, so you might have some luck in perservering.

Thanks your reply, this work for me. I installed "MSYS2 MinGW GCC" in windows11, which could be download from "https://www.msys2.org/", and open a terminal of msys2, then run all commands below in this terminal: $ pacman -Syu $ pacman -S base-devel $ pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain $ pacman -Q -e $ pacman -S mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-gcc finally, I add the "D:\Program Files\msys64\mingw64\bin" into system env PATH (“D:\Program Files\msys64” is my installation dirctory of msys64)
