The biggest of these is that there is no absolute walkthrough of how to do this, so you are left reading scraps of emails in mailing lists.For example the latest problem is "Windres" is missing. Try googling that for an answer? There just isn't any. > As you can tell I am fairly frustrated as I have lost days on this now, for something that should be fairly simple.

So even if I managed to successfully cross compile, I still would not be able to get around this problem and compile for USB support. > Please please please can you either : > Provide a cross compiled version for windows with USB redir support orProvide a decent enough how to of how to compile it myself. > Completely and utterly in your hands > Regards > Charlie Fabiano did a blog post about his experience when cross-compiling Virt-Viewer with gtk3 here [0] which can help you a bit. The important part is in the end of it, about mingw32-configure and generating the msi installer. Now, there is probably a reason to not have a usb redirection on windows client... not sure if it will work.
