unzip -d npcap-sdk npcap-sdk-1.12.zip
cp npcap-sdk/Lib/x64/* $MSYSTEM_PREFIX/lib/
- Install mman (mmap for windows):

cd mman-win32
./configure --prefix=$MSYSTEM_PREFIX
make && make install
- Clone the IMTL repository if not:
git clone https://github.com/OpenVisualCloud/Media-Transport-Library.git
export imtl_source_code=${PWD}/Media-Transport-Library
- Convert symlink patch files to real file:
cd $imtl_source_code/patches/dpdk/23.11
ls *.patch | xargs -I{} bash -c 'if [[ $(sed -n '1p' "{}") =~ ^../.*\.patch$ ]]; then cp "$(cat "{}")" "{}"; fi'
cd windows
ls *.patch | xargs -I{} bash -c 'if [[ $(sed -n '1p' "{}") =~ ^../.*\.patch$ ]]; then cp "$(cat "{}")" "{}"; fi'

cd $imtl_source_code
git clone https://github.com/DPDK/dpdk.git
cd dpdk
git checkout v23.11
git switch -c v23.11
git config user.name "Your Name" # config if not
git config user.email "you@example.com" # config if not
git am $imtl_source_code/patches/dpdk/23.11/*.patch
git am $imtl_source_code/patches/dpdk/23.11/windows/*.patch
- Build and install DPDK:
meson setup build
meson install -C build
cd $imtl_source_code
./build.sh
The MSYS2 path is not in Windows system environment variables by default, if you want to run IMTL apps in PowerShell/CMD, you need to add the paths first. For example, MSYS2 is installed in C:\msys64
.
-
(optional)Add MSYS2 common toolchain path:
C:\msys64\usr\bin
-
If the environment is MinGW64, add:
C:\msys64\mingw64\bin
-
If the environment is UCRT64, add:
C:\msys64\ucrt64\bin
