Have you read those instructions: https://elmarco.fedorapeople.org/manual.html#_folder_sharing ?

The x86 installer should work on x64 guests.

There has been previous reports by users that those instructions worked.

Please try to give more details on what failed, and how you configured libvirt/qemu.

If the service doesn't start, it is most likely that the virtio device is not present and thus qemu is either not setup correctly, or the guest is missing virtio drivers (note for myself: update the manual).
