About PortableXDR

Portable XDR is an XDR (RFC 4506) library for Windows and Mac OS X.

The goals of this library are very narrowly defined at the moment:

1. Support the XDR functions required to build libvirt.
2. Compile, install and use under modern versions of Windows, using MinGW compiler and MSys toolchain; and Mac OS X ≥ 10.3 using gcc.
3. Supply binaries and installers for Windows and Mac users.

Status

As of 4.0.8:

• Mac OS X support compiles, and libvirt can now be compiled.
• Windows compiles and builds a DLL.

To do

• Need to check/fix the make install rule.
• Need to build Windows binary installer.
• Need to build Mac OS X installer (DMG or MacPorts?)
• Get it into Macports.

Licensing

Most of the code is derived from Sun's original XDR/RPC release which is available under a very liberal BSD-like license. I have added some code from glibc, which is licensed under the LGPLv2+.

Please ignore the file COPYING (GPL) in the distribution. This is only there because I haven't worked out how to stop autoconf from including it.
