           Summary: inf2cat (and catgen) cannot create .cat file because
                    CryptCATPutCatAttrInfo and CryptCATPersistStore are
                    not implemented

Hi all,

I'm trying to get the inf2cat utility from Ewdk (enterprise windows driver kit)
working with wine under Linux. I did some research and the reason for the
failure seems to be that the CryptCATPutCatAttrInfo and CryptCATPersistStore
are not implemented.

The reason why I need the inf2cat utility is that I would like to build my
WinDRBD driver (https://github.com/LINBIT/windrbd) under Linux only. 
Compiling and linking works but when running inf2cat I get the following
output:

0104:fixme:wintrust:CryptCATPutCatAttrInfo catalog 0000000000645380, name
L"HWID1", flags 0x10010001, size 16, data 0000000004230AAC, stub!

Unable to add a global catalog attribute.

I tried winehq-devel and winehq-staging.

I also tried catgen which is an GPL replacement for inf2cat:

https://github.com/uxen-virt/catgen.git

Are there any plans to implement those functions? And is there a documentation
somewhere of the cat file format (as I know it is a list of files with secure
hashes)? (then I would maybe be able to implement it)

Thank you all for this awesome product,

Best regards,

- Johannes

As far as I'm aware, nobody is working on them.

I don't know offhand of any documentation, I'm afraid. There seems to be some
support for reading them in Wine itself, which you might be able to take
advantage of to implement the writing side.
