Hi Ulf,
I did see that there were quite a few patches sent to the ML toward the end of 2022 that attempted to add Windows support.
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/elfutils-devel/2022q4/005449.html
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/elfutils-devel/2022q4/005667.html
It looks like some of the patches were merged, but quite a few were never applied. I'm wondering if it'd be possible to finish adding support upstream such that a fork would no longer be needed?
I would be happy to help contribute however I can.
Best,
Colin

Hi,
keeping the windows/elfutils fork up to date definitely is a lot of work, which is why I haven't found the time to do it for a while.
However, perfparser could in fact also use debuginfod (with some caveats).
I guess that some more of my patches could be upstreamed if properly cleaned up. A rebase rather than a merge may be more conductive to this.
All I can do right now is tell you that I'd be happy about any contribution. The repository I've been using still exists and accepts outside contributions. See https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://codereview.qt-project.org/q/repo:qt-creator/elfutils__;!!EJc4YC3iFmQ!V-n1VhUSf6Zz6kOtv6XIbgO0el_54wkfPU0fV7nrQMXmpser6j6-rFUtlaE2bw6kNlqXpIYTJpkFBTF13J0n02PTDg$ . You have to go through the Qt CLA process to work with it, but the CLA is largely meaningless in this case. I'd be happy to move the repository to a more "official" place without CLA.
There have also been other people on this mailing list talking about porting elfutils to windows. Maybe if we combine our efforts we'll actually find a way to maintain a port.
best regards,
Ulf
