Do we have support of kafkacat on windows ?

[gaurav04]

I want to install kafkacat on windows. I am not able to install because i dont found any documentation for the setup.

In Windows 10, you could use WSL or any other Windows, Cygwin to get a Linux shell

There is the win32 folder here, though, but not sure about its usage

You should be able to build a exe with Visual Studio using the solution in win32.

We will provide an installer some time in the distant future.

@edenhill has this been created yet? I was looking into downloading it through Win10 Ubuntu shell but unable to locate librdkafka-dev libyajl-dev, which was provided under docs.

You could try this exe file: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/edenhill/kafkacat/builds/23675338/artifacts

[jorgheymans]

Is the exe meant to be a statically linked build ?

I have installed in wsl and it install version 1.3.1 any hint to install 1.6? or is only dockerized?

If you provide a documentation on how to build it on windows why not adding a windows build to the build pipeline and provide an downloadable executable? It's quiet inconvenient if every windows user have to do this by their own, since they just want to use it.

This ticket is open for more than 3 years now :-/

I'd very much appreciate a contribution that adds Windows builds.

I have been able to build it without many issues using Visual Studio 2019 (v16.8.4).

What I did is:

• Retarget the solution to Win10
• Update to SDK 142
• Fix a minor issue preventing the code to be compiled

My work is available here on this fork: https://github.com/BEagle1984/kafkacat

I don't know if somebody want to have a look at it and if it's worth merging it back in here.

I also had to retarget the solution and update to SDK 142 and to enable the -G feature I had to change a couple of files:
