Hi,
I need some help in building a Java client on Windows 7 64 bit plaftorm to manage a KVM
using the libvirt APIs. Using the instructions at
http://libvirt.org/java.html, i was able
to build libvirt.jar. My understanding is that libvirt.jar uses JNA to call libvirt's
native windows library. I tried using the libvirt dlls in the experimental Windows
installation package mentioned in
http://libvirt.org/windows.html at
http://libvirt.org/sources/win32_experimental/Libvirt-0.8.8-0.exe
but whenever I try to connect to my remote API, I get the below Java exception :
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: %1 is not a valid
Win32 application.

at Main.main(Main.java:8)
But when I try the same client code on a Windows XP 32 bit machine (with 32 bit JVM), I
don't see this problem and the connection succeeds. So it looks like the problem is
that I am not using 64 bit windows libvirt dlls and 64 bit JVM cannot load 32 bit dlls. Is
there a Windows installer with 64 bit Libvirt dlls ? Or are the 64 bit version of DLLs
published somewhere?
I tried using Matthias Bolte's msys_setup script (I tried in 2 machines) and in both
machines, I get the below error when I try to run compile_libxml2.sh as per instructions

Last few lines before the error is :

Do you know how this error could be resolved? All help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
