Since 2.1.99-test5, pciutils should also be compilable on Windows. Thanks to Alexander Stock for contributing the port. Updated after version 2.2.6 to compile again, and with MinGW, even (only?) cross-compiling. (Hopefully it works with MSVC too.) For simple listing PCI devices in system via win32-cfgmgr32 access method which provides only basic information and emulated config space, there is no special requirement. To list PCI resources on Windows 8 and higher versions, it is necessary to have architecture-native version (e.g. AMD64 version on AMD64 systems). For config space access there are different windows specific access methods: - win32-kldbg - Kernel Local Debugging Driver kldbgdrv.sys - win32-sysdbg - NT SysDbg interface - intel-conf1 - Direct hardware access via Intel configuration mechanism 1 The default access method is win32-cfgmgr32 and by default it tries to use one of the above config access access method to provide as much as possible information to application. More details about particular access method and caveats are described in the pcilib(8) manual page. The default access method for config space is win32-kldbg. It uses Microsoft's Kernel Local Debugging Driver kldbgdrv.sys. This driver is not part of the Windows system but is part of the Microsoft WinDbg tool. It is required to have kldbgdrv.sys driver installed in the system32 directory or to have windbg.exe or kd.exe binary in PATH. kldbgdrv.sys driver has some restrictions. Process needs to have Debug privilege and Windows system has to be booted with Debugging option. Debugging option can be enabled by calling (takes effect after next boot): bcdedit /debug on Download links for WinDbg 6.12.2.633 standalone installer from Microsoft: https://download.microsoft.com/download/A/6/A/A6AC035D-DA3F-4F0C-ADA4-37C8E5D34E3D/setup/WinSDKDebuggingTools_amd64/dbg_amd64.msi https://download.microsoft.com/download/A/6/A/A6AC035D-DA3F-4F0C-ADA4-37C8E5D34E3D/setup/WinSDKDebuggingTools/dbg_x86.msi To access config space via intel-conf1 access method on NT-based systems via NT ProcessUserModeIOPL system call, it is required to have SeTcbPrivilege (Act as part of the operating system privilege), which can be enabled in User Accounts settings (take effect after next login). By default this privilege is not enabled for any non-system user. Or alternatively it is required to be in local Administrators group and on Windows 2000 SP4 or higher systems to have SeImpersonatePrivilege (Impersonate a client after authentication privilege) which is by default enabled for all local Administrators accounts. There is no special requirement for DOS-based systems. 64-bit systems do not have to allow users to access config space even with SeTcbPrivilege. To compile this port, run following command: make CROSS_COMPILE=i586-mingw32msvc- HOST=i586-windows ZLIB=no IDSDIR="" To build 64-bit version, run: make CROSS_COMPILE=x86_64-w64-mingw32- HOST=x86_64-windows ZLIB=no IDSDIR="" Sometimes compilation may fail due to broken or missing getopt implementation. In this case try to compile with additional make option: COMPAT_GETOPT=yes Building of shared DLL library libpci3.dll is supported too but needs to be manually enabled by make option: SHARED=yes This DLL library libpci3.dll has versioned symbols with stable ordinal numbers which provides backward and forward compatibility. Every symbol in DLL library has '@LIBPCI_3.' suffix to achieve it. For linking application to libpci3.dll it is possible to generate import library from libpci3.def file. Such import library will provide import symbol names without versioned suffix as an alias for the latest symbol version, which matches function name in pci.h header file. The alias is resolved by the linker at linking time, so the final application binary would always reference only versioned symbol. DLL library libpci3.dll does not provide unversioned symbols, so for using GetProcAddress() or dlsym() it is needed to specify full versioned symbol name.
