<h1>libvirt Installation</h1>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2><a name="Compilatio" id="Compilatio">Compilation</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|

|
<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
|
|
|
|
|
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
|

make
|

|
|
|
make install</pre>
