Re: [libvirt-users] Libvirt Compilation on MS Vista
2010/4/19 Tim McLeod <tim.mcleod(a)simulamen.eu>:
Does a comprehensive set of instructions on how to compile Libvirt on
a
Microsoft Vista platform exist? Has this ever been accomplished? I would
very much appreciate input from persons who can give me confidence that a
Windows client application can be developed on top of Libviet that connects
to a QEMU system on an Ubuntu server. The Libvirt Windows Support page
(http://libvirt.org/windows.html) implies the exercise is trivial. Over the
last three weeks of failure I have come to find this assertion extremely
amusing.
Compiling libvirt for Windows in not very well documented. You can use
the mingw32 cross-compile toolchain provided by Fedora. I think
several people build libvirt for Windows this way.
Another option is to use MinGW and MSYS on Windows to compile libvirt
for Windows. I did that successfully.
So before I start to describe the setup/compilation process and so
on... could you describe what your current setup looks like and what
problems you're facing?
