Compiling libvirt for Windows in not very well documented. You can use
the mingw32 cross-compile toolchain provided by Fedora. I think
several people build libvirt for Windows this way.

Another option is to use MinGW and MSYS on Windows to compile libvirt
for Windows. I did that successfully.

So before I start to describe the setup/compilation process and so
on... could you describe what your current setup looks like and what
problems you're facing?
