Once an hour, an automated snapshot is made from the git server

|

source tree. These snapshots should be usable, but we make no guarantees

</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>As most UNIX libraries libvirt follows the "standard":</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
<code>gunzip -c libvirt-xxx.tar.gz | tar xvf -</code>
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
<code>cd libvirt-xxxx</code>
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
<code>./configure --help</code>
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>to see the options, then the compilation/installation proper</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
<code>./configure [possible options]</code>
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
<code>make</code>
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
<code>make install</code>
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>At that point you may have to rerun ldconfig or a similar utility to
|
2010-07-31 23:54:40 +00:00
|
|
|
update your list of installed shared libs.

<h2>Building from a source code checkout</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
<p> The libvirt build process uses GNU autotools, so after obtaining a
|
|
|
|
|
checkout it is necessary to generate the configure script and Makefile.in
|
|
|
|
|
templates using the <code>autogen.sh</code> command, passing the extra
|
2009-09-22 10:54:57 +00:00
|
|
|
arguments as for configure. As an example, to do a complete build and
|
2009-07-06 12:27:00 +00:00
|
|
|
install it into your home directory run:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
2008-04-23 17:08:31 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
./autogen.sh --prefix=$HOME/usr
|
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
|
