There are couple of g_dbus_*() functions we provide an alternative implementation for in our virgdbusmock.c. However, these functions are declared in gio/gdbusconnection.h as: GIO_AVAILABLE_IN_ALL GDBusConnection *g_bus_get_sync (GBusType bus_type, GCancellable *cancellable, GError **error); where GIO_AVAILABLE_IN_ALL is declared as (in /gio/gio-visibility.h): #if (defined(_WIN32) || defined(__CYGWIN__)) && !defined(GIO_STATIC_COMPILATION) # define _GIO_EXPORT __declspec(dllexport) # define _GIO_IMPORT __declspec(dllimport) #elif __GNUC__ >= 4 # define _GIO_EXPORT __attribute__((visibility("default"))) # define _GIO_IMPORT #else # define _GIO_EXPORT # define _GIO_IMPORT #endif #ifdef GIO_COMPILATION # define _GIO_API _GIO_EXPORT #else # define _GIO_API _GIO_IMPORT #endif #define _GIO_EXTERN _GIO_API extern #define GIO_AVAILABLE_IN_ALL _GIO_EXTERN Now, on mingw the functions we mock are declared with dllimport attribute which makes the compiler unhappy: ../tests/virgdbusmock.c:25:24: error: 'g_bus_get_sync' redeclared without dllimport attribute: previous dllimport ignored [-Werror=attributes] The solution is to do what glib does when it compiles the gio module: set GIO_COMPILATION macro which in turn annotates the function with dllexport attribute.

Libvirt API for virtualization
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
