Since 2.1.99-test5, pciutils should also be compilable on Windows. Thanks
to Alexander Stock for contributing the port.
-To build this port, you need to install WinIO.dll first. You can get it
-from http://www.internals.com/.
+Updated after version 2.2.6 to compile again, and with MinGW, even (only?)
+cross-compiling. (Hopefully it works with MSVC too.)
-However, you need to use win32/config.h instead of the automatically
-generated lib/config.h as lib/configure does not run on Windows.
+To use this port on NT-based systems, it is required to have SeTcbPrivilege
+(Act as part of the operating system privilege), which can be enabled in User
+Accounts settings (take effect after next login). By default this privilege is
+not enabled for any non-system user. Or alternatively it is required to be in
+local Administrators group and on Windows 2000 SP4 or higher systems to have
+SeImpersonatePrivilege (Impersonate a client after authentication privilege)
+which is by default enabled for all local Administrators accounts. There is no
+special requirement for DOS-based systems.
+
+To compile this port, run following command:
+
+ make CROSS_COMPILE=i586-mingw32msvc- HOST=i386-windows ZLIB=no IDSDIR=""
+
+Sometimes compilation may fail due to broken or missing getopt implementation.
+In this case try to compile with additional make option: COMPAT_GETOPT=yes
+
+================================================================================
+BEWARE: The current implementation pokes I/O ports to access the PCI devices
+directly. This leads to several problems: some devices are invisible, extended
+PCIe configuration space is not available, and there are many potential race
+conditions. Instead, libpci should use the proper Windows drivers.
+
+Unfortunately, the Windows port currently lacks a maintainer. If you are willing
+to step up and fix the issues, please let me know. -- Martin Mares
