# DRBD for Windows
These are scripts to convert a Linux-DRBD-9 codebase to Windows-compatible
files that can be compiled via CL.EXE.
## Prerequisites
- You'll need the EWDK 10[1] (the "Enterprise Windows Driver Kit"),
respectively at least the part addressed as
"ewdk/Program Files/Windows Kits/10/Include", and the matching Visual C
compiler ("CL.EXE") and associated build tools (like "MSBUILD.EXE").
- On the Windows machine you'll need enough of the Cygwin tools to run the
conversion; so for example "make", "perl", "patch", "sed", "awk", "cp", "rm".
- Create a certificate for driver signing, and example script can be found in
the source code (see next sections) in ./crypto
## Compiling from a tarball
- Extract the tarball (tar xvf wdrbd-$version.tar.gz)
- cd wdrbd-$version
- Addapt the path to the SDK in Makefile.win
### On Windows
- make
### On GNU/Linux
- make
- switch to the Windows machine and type "make" to compile the final driver
## Development (tested on a combination of GNU/Linux and Windows):
Start on the GNU/Linux side:
- Get the source via "git clone --recursive git://git.linbit.com/wdrbd.git"
- Install spatch/coccinelle
- Addapt the path to the SDK in Makefile.win
- *IMPORTANT*: Change the source files, *DO NOT* change the files in
./converted-sources, they will be overwritten.
- Addapt the path to the SDK in Makefile.win
- make # to execute the transormations
- switch to the Windows machine and type "make"
