[libvirt] MinGW environment for libvirt (at this moment))
Hi, This is a current memo for building MinGW environment for libvirt. (up to run src/.libs/virsh.exe) Of course this Windows path is opened by Rich. this is another way to build this. Ref. http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2008-January/msg00017.html Compares to Rich one, 2 different point exists 1)GCC version is keeps 3.x not 4.x. 2)libxml2 is using GTK one. Any suggestions are welcome. Since I want to simplify this complicated procedure. 1.Install MinGW-5.1.4.exe 2.Install MSYS-1.0.11-2004.04.30-1.exe 3.Install msysDTK-1.0.1.exe Above files are taken from following http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435 4.Install gtk-dev-2.12.9-win32-2.exe (This is for using pkg-config/gettext/libxml2) Taken from http://gladewin32.sourceforge.net/ 5.expand m4-1.4.7-MSYS.tar.bz2 from root directory (we need 1.4.5 or later but msysDTK installs 1.4) Taken from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435 6.Install autoconf-2.62.tar.gz ./configure --prefix=/usr make make install Taken from http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/ 7.Install automake-1.10.1.tar.gz ./configure --prefix=/usr make make install (create /usr/share/aclocal-1.10) Taken from http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/ 8.Install libtool-1.5.18.tar.gz ./configure --prefix=/usr make make install Taken from http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/ 9.Add m4 script for aclocal cp /mingw/lib/GTK/share/aclocal/* /usr/share/aclocal (This is for running autogen.sh) 10..Install GNUTLS expand gnutls-2.3.13.exe to c:\msys\1.0 (it goes to /usr)(This is for /usr/share/aclocal) cp -r /usr/include/gnutls /mingw/include cp /usr/lib/libgnutls* /mingw/lib cp /usr/lib/libgpg-error* /mingw/lib cp /usr/lib/libgcrypt* /mingw/lib cp /usr/lib/tasn1.* /mingw/lib rewrite dependency_libs on /mingw/lib/libgnutls.la from /home/jas/gnutls4win/inst to /mingw Taken from http://josefsson.org/gnutls4win/ 11.expand xdr Install xdr-4.0-mingw5.tar.gz(see Rich Page) rpc => /mingw/include lib*.a => /mingw/lib http://www.annexia.org/tmp/xdr-4.0-mingw5.tar.gz 12.get libvirt code from CVS repository comment out siginfo_t (currently this problem is assigned to me) ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ 13.create virsh ./autogen.sh (tgz file lacks this. you should get CVS repository) ./configure --without-xen --without-qemu --without-sasl --without-libvirtd make (Ignore compile stops at testutils.c) (this problem is also assigned to me.) 14.execute src/.libs/virsh.exe Thanks Atsushi SAKAI

I wonder if this is a bug in our use of m4 macros? Anyway, thanks for this. An easier way to solve this whole problem would be to add the mingw32 cross compiler to Fedora. See discussion here: http://www.redhat.com/archives/rhl-devel-list/2008-April/msg01224.html If we had this, we could relatively easily build libvirt DLLs / EXEs on our Fedora boxes and ship them through the main site.

Hi, Rich I do not know about m4 macro origin. The current libvirt needs to run on latest version(autoconf 2.60 or later). For this purpose, m4-1.4.5 or later is needed If I install native m4-1.4.7, it cannot not compiling autoconf. Thanks Atsushi SAKAI "Richard W.M. Jones" <rjones@redhat.com> wrote:

Here is the update for instruction to make install on MinGW. (Since I goes to from make only to pass to make install) 1.Install MinGW-5.1.4.exe 2.Install MSYS-1.0.11-2004.04.30-1.exe 3.Install msysDTK-1.0.1.exe Above files are taken from following http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435 4.Install gtk-dev-2.12.9-win32-2.exe (This is for using pkg-config/gettext/libxml2) Expand this to C:\MinGW\lib\GTK Taken from http://gladewin32.sourceforge.net/ 5.update some MSYS packages m4-1.4.7-MSYS.tar.bz2 from root directory (we need 1.4.5 or later but msysDTK installs 1.4) gawk-3.1.5-MSYS-1.0.11-1.tar.bz2 (gawk match with 3 args are needed on ChangeLog.awk but not in gawk 3.0.4) Taken from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435 6.Install autoconf-2.62.tar.gz ./configure --prefix=/usr make make install Taken from http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/ 7.Install automake-1.10.1.tar.gz ./configure --prefix=/usr make make install (create /usr/share/aclocal-1.10) Taken from http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/ 8.Install libtool-1.5.26.tar.gz ./configure --prefix=/usr make make install Taken from http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/ 9.Add m4 script for aclocal cp /mingw/lib/GTK/share/aclocal/* /usr/share/aclocal (This is for running autogen.sh) 10..Install GNUTLS expand gnutls-2.3.13.exe to c:\msys\1.0 (it goes to /usr)(This is for /usr/share/aclocal) cp -r /usr/include/gnutls /mingw/include cp /usr/lib/libgnutls* /mingw/lib cp /usr/lib/libgpg-error* /mingw/lib cp /usr/lib/libgcrypt* /mingw/lib cp /usr/lib/libtasn1.* /mingw/lib rewrite dependency_libs on /mingw/lib/libgnutls.la and /mingw/lib/libgcrypt.la from /home/jas/gnutls4win/inst to /mingw Taken from http://josefsson.org/gnutls4win/ 11.expand xdr Install Rich's package xdr-4.0-mingw5.tar.gz rpc => /mingw/include lib*.a => /mingw/lib Taken from http://www.annexia.org/tmp/xdr-4.0-mingw5.tar.gz 12.get libvirt code get Hourly development snapshot(this package includes autogen.sh) Taken from ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ apply patch. patch should be taken from https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2008-June/msg00196.html 13.create virsh ./autogen.sh ./configure --without-xen --without-qemu --without-sasl --without-libvirtd make make syntax-check make check make install 14.execute /usr/local/bin/virsh.exe Hope virsh.exe works on MinGW.

Hum, if that works maybe that should be made available from http://libvirt.org/windows.html
1.Install MinGW-5.1.4.exe [snip] 14.execute /usr/local/bin/virsh.exe
Hope virsh.exe works on MinGW.
If that works (I don't know), could you submit a patch for docs/windows.html.in to make a new Compiling from source separating the original Cygwin part and a new MinGW and either include those instructions or just link to the archive from there https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2008-June/msg00145.html thanks !

Hi, Daniel Thank you for commenting this. I will post the procedure as next step(after commit the patch). Thanks Atsushi SAKAI Daniel Veillard <veillard@redhat.com> wrote:
