Re: [libvirt] Works: libvirt client on OS X 10.5.6
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).

That's great - we can easily fix these 2 bugs.

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.
