Re: [libvirt-users] [virt-tools-list] Is virsh supposed to work on Windows?

Here, I wonder if we can't improve the situation; src/util/virutil.c:virSetInherit() does nothing, and its wrapper virSetCloseExec() should therefore always return 0, which makes it very suspicious - the message in src/rpc/virnetsocket.c about close-on-exec not working should never be reached. What version of virsh is included in that msi? Maybe it's just a case of a stale build, for something that has been fixed upstream? But I personally have not tried to build or debug on mingw, to know if this is the only issue, or if you are staring at a number of other portability issues to resolve first. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
