I have seen the fixes for MinGW have been included to 0.4.5 release. But I am unable to find the windows binaries on the site, which were to be generated using MinGW. If anyone of you already have client binaries for windows, please share them with me.
SAKAI already shared me link to build virsh windows executable using a guide, but I am having some setup issues. It is missing some basic instruction such as MinGW setup. Where should I setup MinGW? a fedora or windows machine and where to get its distribution? The directory structure suggests that I should use fedora.
Why is the MinGW guide is not published on your site as you are actively work on it?
The MinGW port is being actively discussed and worked on. However it is work in progress and at the moment we are not supplying binaries - you will have to build it yourself. This is not trivial - I suggest you find someone who knows how to compile software to help you. Here is the project SIG: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/MinGW This contains a working build chain for libvirt which builds the libvirt-0.dll and virsh.exe (make sure you read the README file first): http://hg.et.redhat.com/misc/fedora-mingw--devel Rich. -- Richard Jones, Emerging Technologies, Red Hat http://et.redhat.com/~rjones virt-df lists disk usage of guests without needing to install any software inside the virtual machine.
