[Libvir] Libvirt on windows

[Gabriel Kaufmann]

Hi,

Thank for you reply.

I'm using the libvirt-0.4.0.tar.gz from http://libvirt.org/sources/ and didn't take the sources from CVS
Maybe that is my problem.

I'll try using the sources from CVS.

Which patches do I have to run on the CVS sources?

By the way, in libvirt-0.4.0.tar.gz directory src there's a getaddrinfo.h file.

Gaby.

There's a couple of odd things about this.

Firstly:

In file included from ../gnulib/lib/sys/stat.h:28,
                  from remote_internal.c:36:
../gnulib/lib/sys/stat.h: In function 'rpl_mkdir':
../gnulib/lib/sys/stat.h:272: warning: unused parameter 'mode'
In file included from remote_internal.c:61:
getaddrinfo.h:38:19: error: netdb.h: No such file or directory
In file included from remote_internal.c:61:
getaddrinfo.h: At top level:
getaddrinfo.h:199: error: redefinition of 'struct addrinfo'
getaddrinfo.h:214: error: conflicting types for 'gai_strerrorA'
c:\mingw\bin\../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.2.1-sjlj/../../../../include/ws2tcpip.h:309:
error: previous definition of 'gai_strerrorA' was here

According to ./configure, <netdb.h> header file wasn't found, as
expected, but the Gnulib implementation of getaddrinfo shouldn't be
trying to include it in this case.  In Gnulib's getaddrinfo.h we have:

#ifdef HAVE_NETDB_H
# include <netdb.h>
#endif

But I think you're including some other <getaddrinfo.h> from somewhere else.

My version of MinGW doesn't have any file called getaddrinfo.h (which is
why we're using the one from Gnulib in the first place), so I suspect
either you're using some later version of MinGW or else you've got MinGW
& Cygwin files mixed up, or you've got some other implementation of
getaddrinfo installed.

Secondly:

../qemud/remote_protocol.h:509: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list
before 'u_int64_t'

In this file from CVS, line 509 is:

typedef struct remote_domain_get_max_vcpus_args
remote_domain_get_max_vcpus_args;

and I don't see how this line can provoke the error.  You'll need to use
the versions of qemud/remote_protocol.[ch] from CVS, along with
PortableXDR (see yesterday's posting) or my hacked up xdr-4.0-mingw5
library.

Rich.
