Building on windows will cause pain in the neck. Microsoft's SDK coaster image
is a gigabyte and a half compressed. However, after too much frustration, I
got an unrelated toy program to build on Linux.
Building NTPsec on Linux but for Windows would require us to either bring back
or re-implement the code that made it happen before. Windows does not have a
good Posix environment. I completed the configuration process after turning off
checks for the following.
- libm
- stdbool.h
- struct timex and two of its members
- EVP_PKEY_new_CMAC_key
- TLS1.3
- OpenSSL version
Anyone up to working on it should look at the git-conversion tag. I am not in
the weight class to tackle the NT shim.
OTOH, I will eventually be able to get other AEAD algorithms supported by
NTPsec. I would not hold my breath, however. OpenSSL has some interesting files
in its test suite.
