Hello, I decided to try Arla on Windows so I thought I write and say how it went. The latest precompiled binarys I coud find was Tomas Olsson from 2004-06-15 in ftp://ftp.stacken.kth.se/pub/random/tol however they worked well, I could browse and read files in stacken.kth.se and some other places. The installation was rather easy but there was a few issues that I report here. - The load program didn't enter the full ImagePath in the registry so I had to do that manually, not an issue if the driver is in system32\drivers. - The README says to copy arla.conf, CellServDB, and DynRootDB to c:\cygwin\usr\arla\etc however one aditional file is needed: ThisCell - The README says to start arlad with the command arlad -D -n -d nnpfs --debug=init however that gives the error message: Assertion failed: kern_cur != NULL, file /afs/stacken.kth.se/home/tol/src/nt/arl a/arlad/kernel.c, line 390 instead the command in the shell script 'a' worked better: arlad.exe -D -n -d winnt --port=4711 --debug=init Anyway after this it worked but I would like to ask you if there is any ongoing development on the Windows version and any newer binaries available? Also I tryed to compile arla 0.90 myself in cygwin and this is how it went: - first compile and install heimdal 1.2.1 that worked with no problem. - arla configure don't find heimdal without with-krb5=/usr/heimdal - I must manualy enter #define HAVE_TERMIOS_H in include/config.h - I must create a link in /usr/include to ifaddrs.h somewhere in /usr/heimdal. After that it is possible to compile arlad and the tools except for one error: unknown_subr.c and subr.h missmatch and calls one undefined function, I just comment it out for now and the arlad built. When starting this version of arlad and using the old driver it gives this error message: 2008-09-28 15:21:55 WEST: arla: kern_open winnt: No such device or address So I guess it doesn't find the device file? Compiling the driver nnpfs with the DDK gives many errors that I havn't looked into yet, thought I shlould as you first where the work stands right now. Bo Branten
