[virt-tools-list] Compiling for USB Redirection support in Windows

[Charlie Benger-Stevenson]

 Hi,
I have downloaded the latest version of the Virt-Viewer from spice.org and when I tried and use USB redirection it tells me that it "Is not compiled in".I understand from reading the Redhat repo information that it is compiled in for Linux, but from this evidence, not for windows. This is a big problem.
I have tried to follow various explanations of how to cross compile using Fedora, but at every turn I hit a problem. 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. I am not alone, others also complain of the lack of documentation.
So my attentions turn to the configure file in the github, that does not even include code for the much lauded --with-usbredir option that you find dotted about in these mailing lists. 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
