    <p>
      Libvirt can be compiled on Windows
      using the free <a href="http://www.mingw.org/">MinGW compiler</a>.
      You can also cross-compile to a Windows target
      from a Fedora machine using the packages available
      <a href="http://hg.et.redhat.com/misc/fedora-mingw--devel/">from
      the Fedora MinGW project</a>
      (which includes a working libvirt specfile).
    </p>

    <p>
      Libvirt can only be built as a client on Windows
      allowing remote access to systems libvirt servers.
      Configure libvirt like this:
    </p>

<pre>
./configure \
  --without-sasl \
  --without-avahi \
  --without-polkit \
  --without-python \
  --without-xen \
  --without-qemu \
  --without-lxc \
  --without-openvz \
  --without-libvirtd
</pre>

    <p>
      We intend to supply Windows binaries on this page
      later, but at the moment you have to compile from source.
