Anjay on Windows

Limitations

Anjay is currently not supported or regularly tested (which means that builds may break between releases) on Windows. However, there is preliminary support for building and running on Windows - with some limitations:

  • Any degree of testing was only performed on Windows 10; the code is theoretically compatible with Windows Vista and up
  • Building using MinGW from MSYS shell is currently the only supported toolchain
  • Building as a shared library (DLL) is not currently supported
  • IP Ping object is not available in the demo application
  • Testing frameworks are not supported
  • SMS binding (available as a commercial feature) is not supported

Prerequisites

Installing dependencies

  1. Install MSYS2

  2. Install Git for Windows

    NOTE: You can also install these using Chocolatey: choco install git msys2 but please make sure to still follow the instructions to update MSYS2 after installing it.

  3. Open the appropriate MINGW shell (e.g., C:\msys64\mingw32.exe or C:\msys64\mingw64.exe, depending on whether you want to build 32- or 64-bit binaries) and install the compile-time dependencies:

    pacman -Sy make ${MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX}-gcc ${MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX}-cmake ${MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX}-mbedtls

Cloning the repository

Run the following command in a directory of choice in the Git for Windows bash environment:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/AVSystem/Anjay.git

Compiling the project

Run the following commands in the MINGW shell, after navigating to the directory created using Git above:

cmake -G"MSYS Makefiles" -DDTLS_BACKEND="mbedtls" .
make

Running the demo application

The demo application can be run from the MINGW shell just like on any other Unix system, e.g.:

./output/bin/demo --endpoint-name $(hostname) --server-uri coap://eu.iot.avsystem.cloud:5683

If you want to run the resulting application outside of the MINGW shell, you will likely need to copy the DLL dependencies, such as:

  • libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll
  • libmbedcrypto.dll
  • libmbedtls.dll
  • libmbedx509.dll
  • libwinpthread-1.dll
