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

[Charlie Benger-Stevenson]

Hi,

 Just to let you know the results of my testing were as follows.
 Virt-Viewer uses GTK3. In my case it is 64 bit.
 I successfully extracted and replaced the dlls for GTK and GLIB. Now
 when I launch the Virt-Viewer it now allows me to select the USB
 device to redirect.
 When I do this I get the following error :
 "USB redirection error: Could not auto-redirect Kingston Technology
 Company Inc. Flash drive [13fe:4100] at 1-3: Could not open usb
 device: Operation not supported or unimplemented on this platform
 [-12]"

It i for windows, you can unpack the rpms with (for example)
rpm2cpio foo.rpm |cpio -id

If you are on f18, yum-builddep mingw-spice-gtk should install most of
the needed deps

By 'spice-gtk mailing list' do you mean
http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/admindb/spice-devel
Inscriptions to this list are not moderated, it's just the regular
"give your email, receive a confirmation email, send back a
confirmation" dance. Is it what you are in the process of doing, or are
you waiting for something else?

pkg-config is giving you information about the linux version of pixman
installed for your distro. Try mingw32-pkg-config instead.
