I Google'd it, but I didn't find anything. Does it build?

If you stub out a lot of unsupported stuff from lib9, it should build and work.

For example, Go (gc) toolchain uses a modified lib9 and libbio on Windows,
and it's working fine. (Must be built using mingw, not the crippled C
compiler in
VS).

*sigh* I was afraid of that.

Of course; VS can barely compile anything useful.

The version of lib9 and libbio in Inferno will compile with the free MS
compiler suite.
I don't remember any particular problems.

I agree. I have never seen Inferno built with ming.

I think someone did that once, but it was a long time ago, before the MS
compilers could be downloaded.

yes

there is pf9 for windows, which is a port of p9p.

I have also been working on my own port for years, more orientated towards using a windows box as a cup server. shout if you want that.

pf9 looks interesting, although it took a bit of hunting to find it
(largely because it has the same name as a gun!).

My worry right now is that it won't work with the newest plan9port, since
it hasn't been updated since last year.

What I probably need to do is just make my own port and keep it in sync
with the GitHub repo, since the vibe I'm getting is that most of the stuff
that needs changing is stuff that I'm not going to use, and the rest of the
stuff resides in headers.

Thanks to all who answered!
