  So FWIW I found the patch in Boxes that causes a problem with current API:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=204140&action=edit

  Compiling that patch should lead you to this:

vm-configurator.c: In function ‘boxes_vm_configurator_set_video_config’:
vm-configurator.c:713:62: error: ‘GVIR_TYPE_DOMAIN_VIDEO_MODEL’
undeclared (first use in this function)
vm-configurator.c:713:62: note: each undeclared identifier is reported
only once for each function it appears in
vm-configurator.c: In function ‘boxes_vm_configurator_set_sound_config’:
vm-configurator.c:758:62: error: ‘GVIR_TYPE_DOMAIN_SOUND_MODEL’
undeclared (first use in this function)
vm-configurator.c: In function ‘boxes_vm_configurator_set_tablet_config’:
vm-configurator.c:804:62: error: ‘GVIR_TYPE_DOMAIN_INPUT_BUS’
undeclared (first use in this function)

P.S. It needs your recently patches to libvirt-glib.
