[Spice-devel] R: virt-viewer for windows with usbdk support

[sella gianpietro]

Hi,
Many many thanks, the binary virt-viewer 5.0 for x64 is very good, all work,
sound and usb redirection.
I have not used before this binary because the old version (2.0 and 3.0 that
I tested 1 year ago) are not compiled with usb redirection.
Best regards,
Gianpietro.

You cannot. Usb clerk is deprecated, you should use UsbDk

On the latest fedora do `sudo dnf builddep mingw-spice-gtk`
and mingw-configure spice-gtk and it should be fine

Alternatively download msi of virt-viewer 5.0 which has everything
https://virt-manager.org/download/
