Re: How to compile spice-vd_agent?

[王正浩 <wangzhenghao@xxxxxxxx>]

Thx a lot. 

Finally, I use docker container fedora:37, install deps as @Frediano Ziglio said(in .gitlab-ci.yml file). 

Then  build it as @Victor Toso said, everything worked well. 

Thanks for your reply.

That means you need to install libpng mingw version.

You can ask, no problem.

 

In my Fedora 37 box, as of now, I had to install

mingw64-libpng-static and mingw64-zlib-static. Build steps:

 

    $ autoreconf -if

    $ mingw64-configure

...

    vdagent-win 0.10.0.68-5017

    ================

 

    prefix:   /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw

    datadir:  /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/share

    compiler: x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++

    cxxflags: -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions --param=ssp-buffer-size=4

    cppflags:

 

   $ mingw64-make

...

   $ ll *.xe

.rwxr-xr-x@ 605k toso  7 Feb 13:45   -I  vdagent.exe*

.rwxr-xr-x@ 210k toso  7 Feb 13:45   -I  vdservice.exe*

 

   $ make msi

...

    GEN      spice-vdagent-x64-0.10.0.68-5017.msi

 

 

Feel free to submit a documentation patch for build process ;)

 

Cheers,

Victor
