Installing on Windows

[yatskovsky]

Hi, how to compile this under Windows (x64) platform?

I haven't tried, but the easiest approach is usually to install the Mingw64 tools package, which allows you to compile on the Windows platform using a unix tool set. That will build a standard win32 executable. Failing that, you could try doing the same on Cygwin.

Hi, I was able to compile it under Windows using Cygwin, however the end result is not usable, see #195

Unfortunately running wrk on Windows is completely unsupported and unlikely to work.

Was looking for the same question;

Just wanted to note an alternative solution that is using new Ubuntu bash on Windows 10 . Wrk works as is and so far happy with the performance.

Thank you for the follow up @obastemur! It's great to hear that the new Linux subsystem for Windows is robust enough to run wrk.
