Happy to do it, I just need permission to put a file there. Additionally, you can grab the binaries at http://files.lostcreations.com/libvirt-0.6.3-bin.tar.gz and http://files.lostcreations.com/libvirt-java-0.2.1-bin.tar.gz. Both archives belong in /opt. They will decompress to libvirt-0.6.3 and libvirt-java-0.2.1 respectively. The latter depends on the former's location. Additionally, the libvirt binaries depend on gnutls and all of its dependencies existing in /opt/local (the default MacPorts root location). -- -a "Ideally, a code library must be immediately usable by naive developers, easily customized by more sophisticated developers, and readily extensible by experts." -- L.

Getting libvirt-0.6.3 (client) to compile on OS X
- Use MacPorts to install gnutls (and its several dependencies)
- Set environment variables:
export LDFLAGS="-L/opt/local/lib" export CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/local/include" export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.4
- Configure

That's great - we can easily fix these 2 bugs.
- Compile
The MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET variable is very important, otherwise you will get symbol errors when linking.
We currently have a patch on the website describing how to build for Windows
http://libvirt.org/windows.html
I think it'd be great to get an equivalent page for OS-X, if you'd like to document your process formally. Just create a new .html.in file in the docs/ directory, and add it to docs/sitemap.html.in too.
