Hi,
I am trying to compile Libvirt from the source code on windows using msys2 but keep hitting issues while running `./configure`.

As the error message says, you need to have a pthreads impl to build libvirt. This is not a standard part of Windows, but is provided by the mingw64 cross compiler toolchain. I'm unclear if its possible to get this into msys or not/ Regards, Daniel -- |: https://berrange.com -o- https://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange :| |: https://libvirt.org -o- https://fstop138.berrange.com :| |: https://entangle-photo.org -o- https://www.instagram.com/dberrange :|
