[libvirt] Location of 64 bit libvirt dlls (Windows)?

I have written a Java client (64 bit JVM) that uses libvirt APIs on a remote KVM for KVM management. Since the JVM is 64 bit, the client needs 64 bit libvirt dlls and I could not find them (I found 32 bit libvirt dlls on http://libvirt.org/windows.html). Could someone point to where I could find 64 bit libvirt dlls? Thank you, George

I don't know if anyone is providing pre-compiled versions of 64-bit dlls; you may have to compile it yourself using a mingw64 (cross-)compiler. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org

It also looks like the 32 bit Windows binaries linked by the above page are *very* old anyway (libvirt-0.8.0), so it would be a good idea to do the same for 32 bit as well.

There are newer 32/64 bit builds there http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=13497 (the dlls are wrapped in rpms) Christophe

The last time (like a year ago) I tried the Fedora MinGW build of libvirt it just crashed on me and I was unable to figure out what the problem was. I think I'll have to give it another try :) -- Matthias Bolte http://photron.blogspot.com

Ah, all I know is that it's there, I've never tried to use it... Christophe

Well the Fedora mingw libvirt builds are what are packaged to create the virt-viewer Win MSI installer, which has been at least partially tested to work.

That's a really good hint. The virt-viewer installer for Windows includes all required binaries and is available for 32 and 64bit. I just did a quick test and it seems to work properly. -- Matthias Bolte http://photron.blogspot.com
