windows port of C API
I have a working win32 port of the C API, not depending on Cygwin, that
supports the "single-threaded" model of network interaction. It compiles in
Visual Studio 2010 and works on 64 bit Windows 7. There are know issues,
and it is in it's initial stages; but it has been successfully used against
the java server.
I am happy to provide patches, but would like any pointers to efforts
already undertaken in this area, or folks to communicate with about this.
Thanks,

Ben,
is it possible to get that port? We'd like to try it out in our environment.
Single-threaded is ok in the first step.
Of course we'll contribute the enhancements if we can make some.
Best regards
Jan

I would be very interested to see any work already done and provide feedback, we need such a port and were planning on writing one ourselves.

Hi Ben, that's great!. There has been some interest in this, however I'm not
aware that anyone has done a port.
Here's how to contrib:
http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/ZooKeeper/HowToContribute
basically you would create a JIRA and attach your patch against latest trunk
svn. The committers will review and provide feedback.
It would be great to not have to manage multiple build systems for the c
code. Should we switch to something like cmake instead of autotools? Or will
that work for you (win/cygwin/unix based build I mean).

Sounds reasonable. If we really want to be serious about it we should update
hudson (or add buildbot) to build/test on cygwin/windows in addition to our
current ubuntu build. But we can do it by hand to start with.

I agree that avoiding the multiple build systems would be nice.
Unfortunately, though, windows is an animal unto itself. I would
be hesitant to change the whole build system over to cmake just for the
ideal situation that there be one build system for all platforms. I have
seen projects that maintain the win32 build separate from the *nix builds,
and this does not seem to be too onerous. I'm flexible, but will probably
in the end use the same tools to build as I do now.
One remaining critical issue is the zookeeper_close() call while the client
is in the CONNECTED state. Even in the single-threaded setup this call
blocks when connected instead of using zookeeper_interest() and a callback,
as seems appropriate. The current code can cause an infinite loop. For
this port to be serious, we would need this cleaned up.
