hi,thomas

Could you change the name of file in directory app/test/test_pci_sysfs/bus/pci/devices/ ?
I think somebody like us also cann't access internet in liunux.Windows not support file name
include ':'. 

Hello,

I am sorry for this situation but (as Thomas mentioned below) Windows is
not considered as a supported platform. If you have issues with this
approach you are welcome to prepare some patch changing this to do
the same thing in another way.

There was a discussion when accepting the fake sysfs into DPDK on the
public mailing list. I did not received any serious complaints at that
time.

Regards
Jan

Not sure to understand the use case.
This is a fake sysfs, we cannot change the names.  

In other words, Windows is not supported, neither for runtime
nor for development.
For information, which filesystem do not support ':'?

If someone wants to add this support, the fake sysfs could have slightly
different names and rightly renamed during compilation.
