8.4 - Save the file unistd.h
- Step 2: Install with the following order

# - The Windows User-Account must have
administrator rights!
1 - Visual Studio Community (C:\Program Files

(x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0)
2 - Python (C:\Python27) => By user settings: Enable

path
3 - Open SSL (C:\OpenSSL-Win32)
4 - GIT (C:\Program Files (x86)\Git)
5 - Nodejs (C:\Program Files (x86)\nodejs)
6 - Bonjour for Developers (C:\Program Files

(x86)\Bonjour SDK)
Note the Bonjour SDK installer will ignore requests

to install to a different directory and always install
to C:\Program Files (x86)\Bonjour SDK. If you'd
like it in a different directory, just move the folder
and update the BONJOUR_SDK_HOME
Environment Variable to match the new location.
7 - RESTART Computer
8 - Copy getopt.h, getopt.c and unistd.h to

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
14.0\VC\include"
- Step 3: Configuration Visual Studio

1 - Open Visual Studio Community and create a C++

Project to install "dev environment"
- Step 4: Running Homebridge

# - xxx = Your Windows Username (C:\Users\xxx...)
1 - Start GIT-CMD
2 - Console command: npm install -g homebridge
2.1 - If npm install fails with error C2373:

"__pfnDliNotifyHook2", try the workaround here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38149603/npm-
install-fails-with-error-c2373-with-vs2015-update-3
3 - Console command: npm install -g homebridge-

http
4 - Check if folder "C:\Users\xxx\.homebridge" exists

=> The folder is invisible!
4.1 - When folder "C:\Users\xxx\.homebridge" not

exists you create this over Windows-CMD
4.1.1 - Open Windows-CMD
4.1.2 - CD C:\Users\xxx\
4.1.3 - mkdir .homebridge
5 - Copy "config-sample.json" from

"C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\
homebridge-http" to "C:\Users\xxx\.homebridge"
5.1 - Rename the "config-sample.json" to "config.json"

(C:\Users\xxx\.homebridge)
6 - Console command: cd
C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\h
omebridge\bin
7 - Console command: node homebridge
8 - Homebridge runs hopefully :)
8.1 - If iOS apps cannot pair to HomeBridge, you may

need to add a firewall rules to allow port 51826
(Control Panel > System Security > Windows Firewall
> Advanced Settings > Create New Rule to allow TCP
51826)
