Hi, I am coming here first as I don't really know where else to turn, and you were extremely helpful yesterdday. I am literally losing days of my life on this, and I am sure it should not be this hard. On your advice I have tried to cross compile spice-gtk for usbredir support. I cannot get past the configure stage. I have built a new VM for doing the compiling and installed MingW (which is supposed to be everything you need for cross compiling), then I installed all of the dependancies (including optional ones) as listed on the spice-gtk github readme file. Still I cannot get past the configure stage : "No package pixman-1 found. Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non standard prefix." Well I don't know what they mean by a non standard prefix, this is all shiny and freshly built from scratch yesterday, so about a standard as you can get. Can you help point me in the right direction? Or better yet, ask someone to simply provide a version of virt-viewer for windows that does have usb redirection compiled in? I hope you can help.

I'm not saying it is not possible. I never tried and I was wondering if it works. The USB redirection is part of spice-gtk, not virt-viewer. So you would need to cross-compile spice-gtk with --enable-usbredir and then build virt-viewer with this new spice-gtk (--with-spice-gtk). There is mingw package for usbredir, so I believe it will works. Best, Victor Toso
