migrate from `winapi` to `windows-rs` #2185

Closed ognevny closed 3 months ago

ognevny commented 5 months ago

motivation

winapi hasn't been updated for more than 3 years and the maintainer said that they have no motivation to continue the development of it. for now the recommended approach is to use windows-rs, which also has support for *-gnullvm windows targets

Makes sense, would you like to submit a PR for this? I'm willing to help review and get it's merged.

I have some work implemented: https://github.com/ognevny/sccache/tree/migrate-from-winapi. but there are lots of errors as some API is needed to be adjusted. currently I have no idea what to do with them

I will take a look, thanks!

I still didn't make any change with that branch... migration from winapi requires for some code "remake" since bindings from microsoft work in a bit another way

I failed to implement it because I know very little about Windows. However, my friend @berrysoft, who is an expert in Windows, is interested in this issue and is currently working on it.
