I got about 95% of the way towards compiling on MinGW using the MinGW cross-compiler from http://mirzam.it.vu.nl/mingw/. Attached are some fairly non-controversial patches which fix some of the problems I found. Build notes follow below. Rich. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Install the MinGW cross-compiler. Compile and install the following packages: (1) libgpg-error (2) libgcrypt (3) gnutls (4) libxml2 (5) PortableXDR I'm building into a local area. Most of them will compile straight with: CFLAGS="-I$HOME/win32/include" \ LDFLAGS="-L$HOME/win32/lib" \ ./configure --host=i386-mingw32 --prefix=$HOME/win32 make make install GnuTLS (3) is troublesome. I ended up using version 1.6.3, upgrading the gnulib packages in the gl/ subdirectory, and doing a bit of bug-fixing on the Makefile.am files (mainly just making sure my custom LDFLAGS gets through everywhere). Then build libvirt + attached patch: PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$HOME/win32/lib/pkgconfig \ CFLAGS="-I$HOME/win32/include" \ LDFLAGS="-L$HOME/win32/lib" \ ./configure --host=i386-mingw32 --prefix=$HOME/win32 \ --without-xen --without-qemu --without-libvirtd \ --without-sasl --without-python make [Currently it fails when linking virsh because of the usual weirdness in libtool] -- Richard Jones, Emerging Technologies, Red Hat http://et.redhat.com/~rjones virt-top is 'top' for virtual machines.
