I'm sorry but the windows port is not finished yet. The missing header file dns_sd.h comes with apples bonjour SDK for windows. It compiles just fine after installing it. But even then WinsockWatcher is still unimplemented and it will not do anything useful.

[No9]

Not a major issue.
I was just logged into my windows box so I thought I would give it a spin.

[nickminutello]

Has the windows port progressed?

[agnat]

Nope. No commits, no progress. ;-)

I had a look at this two nights ago
Got the build up and started to get into the windows bonjour samples.
Had node.js servers appearing in the test clients.
@agnat can you describe what you had in mind for the winsock_watcher or should I start a fresh?

[agnat]

The Windows port boils down to writing a drop-in replacement for IOWatcher (which is deprecated). On the node/libuv side there is a new handle type: poll handles. So, what is needed is something that behaves like the old IOWatcher but uses the new libuv poll code. You can implement that on any platform and just make sure it works on windows afterwards (that's what I would do). The WinsockWatcher already has some of the structure, but should be renamed to SocketWatcher at some point because it will not be windows specific. That is the general plan.

Thanks for looking into it!

So, I started to try to flush out the winsockwatcher as you had started with and stated above, but I seem to have hit a wall for some reason.

https://gist.github.com/4082355 -- the .hpp and .cpp I'm trying with (I basically hacked together a bunch of kludges from various sources as well as their own emulator layers to get it to compile and it appears like it SHOULD work)

Ultimately I get this error:
Assertion failed: 0, file c:\node-v0.8.14\deps\uv\src\win\req-inl.h, line 220

I'm on node v0.8.14.

Not being overly familiar with the node internals, is there something simple I seem to be missing?

[ziransun]

Any further progress on this?

[agnat]

Thanks @croteb.

It's kind of hard to follow whats going on, mostly because of the "emulator layer". Looks like an attempt to make it compatible with old ev_* based code. We're not going to need that. I'd try to strip all the compatibility stuff and only use uv_* calls. Maybe it becomes more obvious what the problem is. I'd also try to follow existing uv_ based code as close as possible (e.g. tcp_wrap from node core).

[agnat]

@croteb, could you paste some links to the "various sources"?

[croteb]

I pulled a large majority of the emulation shim framework from joyent themselves (it looks like they were expecting there to be a bunch of 'old way' versus 'new way' and tried to help):
https://github.com/joyent/node/blob/master/src/ev-emul.h

I haven't had a chance to get back to this recently -- hopefully in the near future -- , but I did try and comment out a bunch of the code and just do the uv_* calls without much luck.

[agnat]

Fixed in ef89787 (v1.0.0). mdns now works on windows. Please refer to the installation section of the README for details.

Thanks @TobyEalden for providing the PR. Thanks @croteb for putting together the initial gist.

nevermind ... http://kaleemullah.wordpress.com/2011/05/16/install-dnssd-on-ubuntu/

[qdk0901]

still report missing "dns_sd.h" error when built under windows 8.1

Please see the section on installation in the README.
