[Spice-devel] Precompiled win32 spice-gtk and/or remote-viewer client

[Tiziano Müller]

Hoi Marc-André

Thanks for the reply. Some time ago I built the spice-gtk client on
fedora using mingw32. Since we'll have to ship a custom installer (which
sets up the procol handler for 'spice://' style (see
http://www.foss-cloud.org/en/index.php/Protocol_Handler_Spice ) I'll
probably have to setup a build environment anyway, rather soon as it
seems.

Another issue: we're currently using URLs (and a protocol handler) to
forward the spice connection information from our web-based management
interface to the client.
This works fine with some restrictions:
* the password is visible in the process listings
* does not support SASL
* does not work if more configuration data (for example a certificate)
have to be pushed to the client

Other solutions (Citrix, RDP) have configuration files and register
their viewer with the MimeType of the file instead.
Is there something similar planned for remote-viewer/spice-gtk?

Thanks in advance,
best regards,
Tiziano
