How can I compile nDPI library on Windows?

Question

The library comes with instructions on how to compile it on Linux:

./autogen.sh
./configure
make

But I can't find any source on the Internet to help me compile this code directly on Windows, just as if I never had a Linux machine.

nDPI is hosted here: https://github.com/ntop/nDPI

the documentation says: "In addition to Unix, we also support Windows, in order to provide you a cross-platform DPI experience" but there is no mention of how to compile it on Windows — ehsan0x, Jun 19 '15 at 12:44
See my comments in http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30938032/how-can-i-compile-ndpireader-c-that-comes-with-ndpi-library-in-windows. Also note that the sample project appears to build no separate library and so I suspect that this may be unsupported. — Peter Brittain, Jun 26 '15 at 22:10

You could set up a linux-like CLI using Cygwin (very useful tool) and cross compile to Windows. It's not a complicated process and there is a lot of documentation around the Internet. I recommend using the MinGW 32 cross compiler.

You have to edit some lines of source code and add the files ntop_win32.h and ntop_win32.c Then you can compile nDPI with Visual Studio.

You can use NFStream which provide Windows support and use nDPI as a DPI engine.
