I am trying to install kafkaCat tool in windows machine.
While doing a quick build by running ./bootstrap.sh, I am getting following error:
$ ./bootstrap.sh

Does anyone know how to configure kafkaCat in windows machine?
Thanks in advance.
I've never tried building librdkafka with MinGW but it should be possible. It looks like you are missing the build toolchain (no cc, ld, nm, etc).
See the MinGW installation instructions for more info: http://www.mingw.org/wiki/howto_install_the_mingw_gcc_compiler_suite
It is also not clear from your description whether this is an attempt at native or cross compilation.
Another, probably better, alternative is to build kafkacat in Visual Studio:
This should give you a kafkacat.exe that works in native win32 (no need for mingw, cygwin, ..)
If you find any problems with this approach please file an issue directly on the kafkacat project.
