[squid-users] Request for Assistance with Squid Compilation on Windows 11

[Bill Andream]

Dear Squid Development Team,

I hope this message finds you well. First, allow me to extend my sincerest appreciation for the remarkable work you've been doing with Squid. Your dedication to advancing the open-source community has not gone unnoticed, and it has significantly benefited our project among many others.

I am reaching out to seek your guidance on a challenge I've encountered. In the process of integrating Squid into our product, I followed the instructions on your Knowledge Base to compile the Squid source code on a Windows 11 system using Cygwin. My setup includes Perl (v5.36.3), GCC (v11.4.0), and Make (v4.4.1). After executing:

./configure --prefix=c:/squid --with-maxfd=2048 --enable-win32-service

and proceeding with the make command, I faced several fatal errors, such as unused-parameter, redefinition, missing-declaration, format, and wrong type argument to unary plus, to name a few.

Given your expertise, I was hoping you could shed some light on:

\1. Any potential missteps in my compilation environment that might have led to these issues?

\2. The environment used to compile the Windows executable squid.msi available for download. If it's convenient, could you share the specifics of the setup?

I understand the demands on your time and truly appreciate any insights you can provide. The success of Squid is a clear reflection of the commitment and support from developers like yourselves and the broader community, for which I am deeply grateful.

Thank you once again for your time and assistance. Wishing you and your team all the best in your ongoing and future projects.
