SPICE server was ported from Unix/Linux to Windows.
Most features are present, with some exceptions:
- Unix sockets;
- signal handling;
- CLOEXEC flag (completely different handling on Windows);
- IPTOS_LOWDELAY flag (Linux specific);
- TCP_CORK (Linux/*BSD specific).
Some features could be ported but currently are not:
- statistics exported through mapped files. Disabled by default and mainly used for development;
- filtering while recording (SPICE_WORKER_RECORD_FILTER environment). Recording is used for debugging or development work;
- TCP_KEEPIDLE setting. Default is used.
To compile and use with Qemu you can follow the guide at
https://wiki.qemu.org/Hosts/W32, just pass --enable-spice during
configuration.
To test using a Linux cross compiler you can install Wine and run test with
make LOG_COMPILE=wine check
