Go bindings for libvirt. These bindings are deprecated. Please, migrate to the new official version. You'll have to do some minor adjustments to your code.
Make sure to have libvirt-dev package (or the development files otherwise somewhere in your include path)
The minimum supported version of libvirt is 1.2.2. Due to the API/ABI compatibility promise of libvirt, more recent versions of libvirt should work too.
Some features require a more recent version of libvirt. They are disabled by default. If you want to enable them, build using one of those additional tags (you need to use only the most recent one you are interested in):
- 1.2.14
For example:
go build -tags libvirt.1.2.14
To quickly see what version of libvirt your OS can easily support (may be outdated). Obviously, nothing below 1.2.2 is usable with these bindings.

Previously there was support for libvirt 0.9.8 and below, however this is no longer being updated. These releases were tagged v1.x at gopkg.in/alexzorin/libvirt-go.v1 (docs).
Please fork and write tests.
Integration tests are available where functionality isn't provided by the test driver, see integration_test.go.
A Vagrantfile is included to run the integration tests:
cd ./vagrantvagrant upto provision the virtual machinevagrant sshto login to the virtual machine
Once inside, sudo su - and go test -tags integration libvirt.
