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
