The problem is that in some mingw header DATADIR is used but gnulib defines it too. This leads to the following compile error: CC locking/libvirt_driver_la-lock_manager.lo In file included from /usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include/objbase.h:66:0, from /usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include/ole2.h:17, from /usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include/wtypes.h:12, from /usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include/winscard.h:10, from /usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include/windows.h:97, from /usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include/winsock2.h:23, from ../gnulib/lib/unistd.h:48, from ../../src/util/virutil.h:29, from ../../src/logging/log_manager.c:30: /usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include/objidl.h:12275:2: error: expected identifier or '(' before string constant } DATADIR; ^ Makefile:7888: recipe for target 'logging/libvirt_driver_la-log_manager.lo' failed The fix is to include configmake.h at the end of includes.
