[libvirt] win32

2009-04-04 Thread Brecht Sanders

Hi,
Is there any way to compile libvirt with xen some support without 
depending on libxenstore?
The reason I ask is that libxen can be built on Windows, but libxenstore 
seems to depend on the linux kernel, so I doubt it can be built for Windows.

Regards

  Honnestly I don't think anybody ever tried. The only drivers usually
compiled on Win32 are remote and possibly test. Basically so far we expected
libvirt on Windows to be only a way to access libvirtd remotely. But
patches to improve/extend this are as usual welcome !

Well, I have tried in the past, and I think I actually got libvirt 0.4.4 
to build with MinGW/MSYS on Windows, but unfortunately only static 
libraries.

Bet back then only libxen was needed, not libxenstore.
Shouldn't it - in theory - be possible to build a libvirt for Windows 
without the need for a remote libvirtd?
What made me optimistical was the possibility to build libxen and the 
fact that Qemu also runs on Windows.
