Hello,
I'm looking for compiled NTP 4.2.8 for Windows. I know Meinberg's version but
unfortunately it is branded.
Does anybody know such binary package?
I want to avoid compiling it by myself if I can.
best regards
Johny
Johny,
What Meinberg have done is to (1) compile ntpd and (2) wrap it into an
installer. Because the upstream ntpd does not include a Windows installer.
Right.
There is no branding in the NTP binaries. The only branding is in the
installer.
For those who don't know: I'm the person at Meinberg who builds the
binaries, the whole intention of the installer is just to simplify
installation under Windows. I'm just writing this from home.
Here is a some clarification:
The stock 4.2.8 version didn't compile under Windows. I had to do some
changes to the Visual Studio project files (which are part of the NTP
source code) to get this done. A "define" had to be added to the
config.h file, and a new source code .c module hat to be added to the
libntp project file. That's all. The changes have been submitted to the
NTP source tree and are now in the current version of the repo.
Soon there will be a patch version 4.2.8p1 which fixes a few more build
problems. Actually there are BETA versions of the p1 versions available
which can be tested to be sure p1 compiles properly.
Please note that beside the NTP binaries you also need the openssl DLL
in the version against which the binaries have been built, otherwise
ntpd fails to start.
It would also be possible to just take the binaries (for example the
ones David makes available), manually put them in the right places on
the Windows machine, manually set the thing up as a service, etc. In
other words, to manually do the work of an installer.
Right.

Your choice.
