[libvirt] libvirt and mingw64 x64, bad idea?

[Marc-André Lureau]

Hi,

I tried to update the fedora mingw package to follow the mingw64
packaging guideline and allow build for x86 and x64. But I got into
build warning and errors for x86_64. (using Fedora Cross project repo:
http://build1.openftd.org/fedora-cross/fedora-cross.repo,
x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc (GCC) 4.6.2 20110908 and later)

./configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --build=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
--target=x86_64-w64-mingw32
--prefix=/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw
--exec-prefix=/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw
--bindir=/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/bin
--sbindir=/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/sbin
--sysconfdir=/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/etc
--datadir=/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/share
--includedir=/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include
--libdir=/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib
--libexecdir=/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/libexec
--localstatedir=/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/var
--sharedstatedir=/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/com
--mandir=/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/share/man
--infodir=/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/share/info
--without-xen --without-qemu --without-openvz --without-lxc
--without-vbox --without-xenapi --without-sasl --without-avahi
--without-polkit --without-python --without-libvirtd --without-uml
--without-phyp --without-hyperv --without-vmware --without-netcf
--without-audit --without-dtrace --enable-static

The somewhat worrying error is:

util/command.c:54:1: error: static assertion failed: "verify
(sizeof(pid_t) <= sizeof(int))"

/* We have quite a bit of changes to make if this doesn't hold.  */
verify(sizeof(pid_t) <= sizeof(int));

There are a few other warnings, see attached files.

Is this going to be something difficult and worth to fix?

regards
