Question

hello i have enabled in the cmakefiles the osquery logger kafka to use it with windows is there a painless way to instruct the cmake to build osqueryd against librdkafka dll

I don t think so I m interpreting painless as 1 there s a concrete example of something attempting this 2 generally the steps for porting a new third party to build on Windows is straightforward There are examples for other third party migrations meaning it builds on Linux the migration means also building on Windows Do you have a lot of experience in this area

not realy but i can port most apps under wine or cygwin not the google search type slightly smiling face i have ~10 years to deal with visual c++ and a lot has changed dll hell is the same But i have compiled librdkafka from source and added it to a windows build of osquery and it talks to kafka The issue rn is how to make it more standardised in the repo I mean what is the appropriate approach repo wise to host librdkafka for windows

You ll have to make a change similar to this First look at the added `libraries cmake source migration modules Findthrift cmake` you ll have to add a similar one for librdkafka Then you ll have to update so that it builds on macOS and Windows Right now it is only building on Linux The most difficult step is creating the right `config h` and storing it alongside Here is an example from libmagic When the existing config h was moved into a linux config h and an equivalent was added for macOS I am not sure how librdkafka builds on Windows but you ll most likely need one there too
