[Spice-devel] Spice-iOS

[Cliff Sharp]

According to the spice-gtk here is a list of the main level build dependent libraries listed on the web site:
spice-protocol
pygtk2-devel
inittool
celt051-devel
gtk2-devel
openssl-devel
pulseaudio-devel
pixman-devel
python

I have not been able to create a complete list of all the libraries that these main level libraries are dependent on. My best guess is 30-40 in number; maybe more.
This is a lot of libraries.

As I mentioned in one of my last emails - I can't find a project for OS/X that has ported these and their dependent libraries. And of course there are none for iOS.
