From c5e8343a254dfbfa2546a0686e3a8b0d3df7f0a4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Daniel P. Berrange" Date: Tue, 7 May 2013 11:54:02 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Point users to Virt-Viewer MSI installers for Windows builds The Windows port page currently links to pre-built libvirt DLLs for release 0.8.8 which are 2 years old now. Until we can reliably produce official Windows installers, point people to the virt-viewer MSI installers instead which include the libvirt DLLs. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.

Installation packages

- A windows installation package is in development. An experimental - version is available here: -

- - http://libvirt.org/sources/win32_experimental/Libvirt-0.8.8-0.exe - -

- It is not production ready. + Users who need pre-built Windows DLLs of libvirt are advised + to use the Virt Viewer + pre-compiled Windows MSI packages

- This version includes the libvirt development headers and libraries - for compiling against, the virsh shell with its needed dependencies, - and untested Python bindings. + These installers include the libvirt, gtk-vnc and spice-gtk DLLs + along with any of their pre-requisite supporting DLLs, the virsh + command line tool and the virt-viewer & remote-viewer graphical + tools. The development headers are not currently provided in this + installer, so this cannot be used for compiling new applications + against libvirt.
