Honnestly I don't think anybody ever tried. The only drivers usually
compiled on Win32 are remote and possibly test. Basically so far we expected
libvirt on Windows to be only a way to access libvirtd remotely. But
patches to improve/extend this are as usual welcome !
Well, I have tried in the past, and I think I actually got libvirt 0.4.4
to build with MinGW/MSYS on Windows, but unfortunately only static
libraries.
Bet back then only libxen was needed, not libxenstore.
Shouldn't it - in theory - be possible to build a libvirt for Windows
without the need for a remote libvirtd?
What made me optimistical was the possibility to build libxen and the
fact that Qemu also runs on Windows.
