Is it a difference where I compile a code?
-
Hello,
I would like to compile one project "ext2read". In other forum I saw a topic that this code isn't run on Win 10 ( I don't know - I saw only opinion ).
Is it a difference between compile that on Win 7 ( i know that works perfect on this OS ) and compile on Win10?

project "ext2read".
It would have been nice if you provided a link to that project, just to understand how it is related to Qt framework

Hi
For that project i think its just its uses win 7 API and that has changed in win 10
so it must be upgraded to work. It uses low level disk access.
I used it a lot in older times. -
Hi
Sorry i was thinking of
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2read/I never tried the Qt version.
Interresting.

I have to create project which can read linux partitions on Windows 10, but I don't know which function I have to use...
@mrjj I know that is big issue, but I don't have win 10 ( I have win 7 - I have to buy own Win 10 version ) - can you check that ext2read if you have Win10 and tell me is it works?
@mrjj I only want can read from linux partitions - no write

Hi
Ok. i would start with
https://github.com/mregmi/ext2read/blob/master/platform_win32.cand see if it can still detect linux partitions.
if yes then look into ext2.cpp to actually start reading from it.
Just as note. this seems to be read only .
So no writing to the linux file system. -

I'd say why don't you try to find a library that provides (read) access to ext2/3/4 filesystems from Windows and then you can use this ext2read project as squeleton or guideline given that it has a lot of the GUI already developed...

@Pablo-J-Rogina I searched, but I can't find library c++ to access to ext3 on Windows 10. I see only posts which are very old ( for example 2010 ).
@TomNow99
Hi
I only found plug able filesystems
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2fsd/
That allows any app to access the linux system but that
is a system driver. -
@mrjj We try this in company too.
When windows 10 PRO was updated that Ext2Fsd doesn't work on this system.
If you have Win 10 Enterprise everything is ok.
Ah so 1909 update broke it. ( or later ?)
Also broke my vmware and usb sound speaker and other stuff.
So unless it get fixed for newer versions, its a no go, i guess.Can i ask a bit about the use case ?
It rarely i see anyone else but me wanting to read linux partitions in Windows :) -
We have photos on externals hard drives, which have ext3 file system :)
I don't know which update. I only get information that "When we have update Win 10 Pro that app ( ext2fsd ) stop work now"

@TomNow99 did you consider trying the Linux Subsystem for Windows ? Depending on your use case, it might simplify your life.

@SGaist
Hehe 100% the same back then. Luckily then came virtualization and life was good.Hmm actually a good idea with Linux Subsystem for Windows
https://superuser.com/questions/1245210/access-ubuntu-partition-from-windows-sub-systemit should actually be possible from Windows 10 1709+ so that is promising.
But wont his windows program need to run inside Linux Subsystem to actually use it ?
Not sure :) -
@TomNow99
ok so asking them to install Linux subsystem might not be an option.I would go with
https://github.com/mregmi/ext2read
I just tried to compile it with mingw 64 as doc says one MUST use and it just
compiled.
However, i cant say if it works as no linux partions to test with :)In any case, you can quite easily then try it on your system and debug if it fails and maybe a fix is not that bad.

@TomNow99 I guess you may want to take a look at this library: lwext4
Although "The main goal of the lwext4 project is to provide ext2/3/4 filesystem for microcontrollers" documentation also mentions compilation for Windows.
And then take a look at project ext4-browser which relies on that library to provide "a file-archiver like utility which can create, read and modify ext2/3/4 disks and disk images on Windows and Mac OS systems." although the GUI is written using wxWidgets framework.
So getting back to my suggestion, I guess you might combine lwext4 library and the ext2read GUI to achieve your goal...
