[libvirt] MinGW environment for libvirt (at this moment))

[Atsushi SAKAI]

Hi,

This is a current memo for building MinGW environment for libvirt.
(up to run src/.libs/virsh.exe)
Of course this Windows path is opened by Rich.
this is another way to build this.

Ref.
http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2008-January/msg00017.html

Compares to Rich one, 2 different point exists
1)GCC version is keeps 3.x not 4.x.
2)libxml2 is using GTK one.

Any suggestions are welcome.
Since I want to simplify this complicated procedure.

 1.Install MinGW-5.1.4.exe
 2.Install MSYS-1.0.11-2004.04.30-1.exe
 3.Install msysDTK-1.0.1.exe
    Above files are taken from following
    http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435
 
 4.Install gtk-dev-2.12.9-win32-2.exe
  (This is for using pkg-config/gettext/libxml2)
    Taken from
    http://gladewin32.sourceforge.net/

 5.expand m4-1.4.7-MSYS.tar.bz2 from root directory
  (we need 1.4.5 or later but msysDTK installs 1.4)
    Taken from
    http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435

 6.Install autoconf-2.62.tar.gz
  ./configure --prefix=/usr
  make
  make install
  Taken from
  http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/
  
 7.Install automake-1.10.1.tar.gz
  ./configure --prefix=/usr
  make
  make install
  (create /usr/share/aclocal-1.10)
  Taken from
  http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/

 8.Install libtool-1.5.18.tar.gz
  ./configure --prefix=/usr
  make
  make install
  Taken from
  http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/

 9.Add m4 script for aclocal
   cp /mingw/lib/GTK/share/aclocal/* /usr/share/aclocal
  (This is for running autogen.sh)

10..Install GNUTLS
  expand gnutls-2.3.13.exe to c:\msys\1.0
  (it goes to /usr)(This is for /usr/share/aclocal)
  cp -r /usr/include/gnutls /mingw/include
  cp /usr/lib/libgnutls* /mingw/lib
  cp /usr/lib/libgpg-error* /mingw/lib
  cp /usr/lib/libgcrypt* /mingw/lib
  cp /usr/lib/tasn1.* /mingw/lib
  rewrite  dependency_libs on /mingw/lib/libgnutls.la
   from /home/jas/gnutls4win/inst to /mingw

  Taken from
  http://josefsson.org/gnutls4win/

11.expand xdr
  Install xdr-4.0-mingw5.tar.gz(see Rich Page)
  rpc => /mingw/include
  lib*.a => /mingw/lib
   http://www.annexia.org/tmp/xdr-4.0-mingw5.tar.gz

12.get libvirt code from CVS repository
   comment out siginfo_t
   (currently this problem is assigned to me)
   ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/


13.create virsh
   ./autogen.sh (tgz file lacks this. you should get CVS repository)
   ./configure --without-xen --without-qemu --without-sasl --without-libvirtd
   make
   (Ignore compile stops at testutils.c)
   (this problem is also assigned to me.)

14.execute src/.libs/virsh.exe
