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Unfortunately it's a bit outdated.
