Should be doable - there are existing ports of python, ssh, libvirt, and other prereqs to virt-manager all built for mingw, such that it should be possible to use virt-manager directly on windows.
Interesting. I'd be happy to hear from someone how much effort this needs. You know, I shouldn't have to install dozens of pkgs to the XP-box, taking hrs of work maybe ;-)
Maybe I give it a try on a test-XP tmrw.
Thanks, S
I have that basically working, see https://github.com/photron/msys_setup That's a bunch of scripts that build libvirt using mingw on Windows. It also covers virt-manager, but there are still many things to port and fix until virt-manager works properly on Windows, as it assume a Linux specific things in some places. But virsh is working and tested with TCP and TLS transport. SSH transport wasn't tested yet, so I don't know if it work properly, maybe. At some point there will probably be an installer for libvirt and virt-manager for Windows, but we're not there yet. A prebuild installer for libvirt and virsh can be found here http://libvirt.org/windows.html Unfortunately it's a bit outdated. -- Matthias Bolte http://photron.blogspot.com
