Hello Richard,
I've recently encountered with libguestfs while looking for a library
that provides parsing capabilities for VMDK formats, as part of a
utility I'm working on. I've read the documentation and and few of the
source code but couldn't find an answer for my question.
Then, I've seen your that you are active on the mailing list, so I'm
reaching out to you.
Do you know of any way to build libguestfs on Windows? so that I'll
have a compiled PE image that will be able to parse and mount VMDK
files?
It used to build on Windows at some time in the very distant past, but
it doesn't now. I would suggest using virtualization similar to run
up a Linux environment.
Rich.
