Hi,
I am trying to compile Libvirt from the source code on windows using msys2 but keep
hitting issues while running `./configure`.
….
checking whether C compiler handles -Wno-suggest-attribute=pure… yes
checking whether C compiler handles -Wno-suggest-attribute=const... yes
checking for how to force completely read-only GOT table…
checking for how to avoid indirect lib deps... -Wl,--no-copy-dt-needed-entries
checking for how to stop undefined symbols at link time…
checking sys/acl.h usability... no

checking for sys/acl.h… no
checking for aa_change_profile in -lapparmor… no
checking for pthread_mutexattr_init… no
checking for pthread.h... (cached) no
configure: error: A pthreads impl is required for building libvirt
...
Does anyone have any experience compiling Libvirt on a windows machine ? Specifically I am
trying to enable hyper-v domain on Libvirt.
Thanks,

I am passing in:
./configure \
--without-sasl \
--without-polkit \
--without-python \
--without-libxl \
--without-qemu \
--without-lxc \
--without-openvz \
--without-libvirtd

So what arguments does msys2 pass to the configure script?

Unfortunately that page is somewhat stale.
These days you should not need to pass any args to configure - we should
automagicaly disable everything that doesn't work on Windows.
That said, officially the *only* way we support Windows right now is
via the mingw64 cross-compiler toolchain running on a Linux host, as
that is what our CI systems test for each release.
msys may or may not work - we dont have any CI systems or developers
actively testing that anymore.

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/
