I cannot find any rpcgen package usable under > Windows (MinGW, not Cygwin). Hi, In 2010 I wrote a set of scripts to build libvirt on Windows using MinGW. Sou can find them here: https://github.com/photron/msys_setup I haven't update them in the last two years, so they might not work out-of-the-box anymore. But it might still be helpful to look at them and see how I did things. Regarding XDR: I used portablexdr. It worked for me, I can't remember if I had to patch it or not. -- Matthias Bolte http://photron.blogspot.com -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
