I've spent the past week or so trying to get WMI implemented and
available via MinGW so that we could take advantage of it for our
Windows builds of Matahari.
After some frustration at finding that it's been requested, but nobody's
implemented it, since 2005, I think for our use it might not be the
right path to follow.
I have found a lot of Win32 APIs that directly give us some of the
information that we need, such as CPU type, archetecture and similar.
But it's been a little more elusive to get information like the UUID of
the mother board and CPU model.
In the short term, it would probably be easier to do our Windows
development on Windows using WMI. Then we can look toward getting WMI
into MinGW afterward and moving our builds back to Linux at that point.
Thoughts?
