The guide is both a learning tool for developing with libvirt and an
|
|
|
|
|
API reference document. It is a work in progress, composed by a
|
|
|
|
|
professional author from contributions written by members of the
|
|
|
|
|
libvirt team.

libvirt uses the standard configure/make/install steps:
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
|
|
|
gunzip -c libvirt-xxx.tar.gz | tar xvf -
|
|
|
|
|
cd libvirt-xxxx
|
|
|
|
|
./configure --help</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
To see the options, then the compilation/installation proper:
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
|
|
|
./configure [possible options]
|
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
|
make install</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
At that point you may have to rerun ldconfig or a similar utility to
|
|
|
|
|
update your list of installed shared libs.
|
|
|
|

<h2><a name="build">Building from a GIT checkout</a></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
|
|
|
|
|
arguments as for configure. As an example, to do a complete build and
|
|
|
|
|
install it into your home directory run:
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
|
|
|
./autogen.sh --prefix=$HOME/usr --enable-compile-warnings=error
|
2008-04-23 17:08:31 +00:00
|
|
|
make
|

make install</pre>
