Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot/issues/140

Neither mdns nor dns-sd currently compile on Windows. Both seem to have some expectations which are rather unixy. There's been a pull request which tried to bring mdns to Windows:

https://github.com/plietar/rust-mdns/pull/11/files

Unfortunately it mixes in other Linux related changes which makes things break on the latter for me. Maybe somebody could pick up some pieces anyway?...

I agree, this should be on the roadmap, as it's not a hard thing to implement afaik; the code to make rust-mdns run on Windows is already sitting in a PR, and https://github.com/plietar/rust-mdns/pull/12 works fine for me. Once that's merged, Windows should be viable.

mdns support all good, so windows is technically supported now albeit without any backends other than pipe iirc. Once cpal support is added, there should be a fully featured cross compiled windows version available. Closing this as #145 tracks remaining functionality that should be added.
