More modules we could use (all for MinGW / Windows):
- - -
- vasprintf
For asprintf which we use all over the place.
- gettext
MinGW lacks <libintl.h> and any gettext function. I thought that
gettextize was supposed to supply all the code needed to implement
these? Anyhow, it doesn't seem to.
- strndup & strsep
Non-standard functions, used all over.
- fcntl [LGPLv3]
The gnulib one fixes all the flags which are missing from Windows
- sys_stat
As above, but for S_* (Unix modes) macros
- readlink [LGPLv3]
This explicitly acts as a substitute for this system call on MinGW,
according to the documentation anyway.
- pollOnly applicable if we want to build libvirtd on Windows, which isn't very useful at the moment.
- - -The above would fix about 80-90% of the porting problems with MinGW, enabling us to have a natively compiled Windows binary and DLL.
All of the modules mentioned above are 'LGPLv2' except where mentioned. I haven't checked the dependencies in detail however.
