On Fedora 18, when cross-compiling to mingw with the mingw*-dbus packages installed, compilation fails with: CC libvirt_net_rpc_server_la-virnetserver.lo In file included from /usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include/dbus-1.0/dbus/dbus-connection.h:32:0, from /usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include/dbus-1.0/dbus/dbus-bus.h:30, from /usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include/dbus-1.0/dbus/dbus.h:31, from ../../src/util/virdbus.h:26, from ../../src/rpc/virnetserver.c:39: /usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include/dbus-1.0/dbus/dbus-message.h:74:58: error: expected ';', ',' or ')' before 'struct' I have reported this as a bug against two packages: - mingw-headers, for polluting the namespace https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=980270 - dbus, for not dealing with the pollution https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=980278 At least dbus has agreed that a future version of dbus headers will do s/interface/iface/, regardless of what happens in mingw. But it is also easy to workaround in libvirt in the meantime, without having to wait for either mingw or dbus to upgrade. * src/util/virdbus.h (includes): Undo mingw's pollution so that dbus doesn't fail.
