1 | Since 2.1.99-test5, pciutils should also be compilable on Windows. Thanks |
2 | to Alexander Stock for contributing the port. | |

4 | Updated after version 2.2.6 to compile again, and with MinGW, even (only?) |
5 | cross-compiling. (Hopefully it works with MSVC too.) | |

7 | To use this port, you need to install WinIO.dll first. You can get it | |

10 | However, you need to use win32/config.{h,mk} instead of the automatically |
11 | generated lib/config.{h,mk} as lib/configure does not run on Windows. | |

14 | BEWARE: The current implementation pokes I/O ports to access the PCI devices | |
15 | directly. This leads to several problems: some devices are invisible, extended | |
16 | PCIe configuration space is not available, and there are many potential race | |
17 | conditions. Instead, libpci should use the proper Windows drivers. | |

19 | Unfortunately, the Windows port currently lacks a maintainer. If you are willing | |
20 | to step up and fix the issues, please let me know. -- Martin Mares | |
