README-hacking: Drop from the git repository
The newly-introduced CONTRIBUTING.rst serves the same purposes and lives in the path where most people would look for it. Signed-off-by: Andrea Bolognani <abologna@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Ján Tomko <jtomko@redhat.com>

|

These notes intend to help people working on the checked-out sources.
|
||||
These requirements do not apply when building from a distribution tarball.
|
||||
See also docs/hacking.html (after building libvirt using the information
|
||||
included in this file) for more detailed contribution guidelines.
|
||||
|
||||
* Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
We've opted to keep only the highest-level sources in the GIT repository.
|
||||
This eases our maintenance burden, (fewer merges etc.), but imposes more
|
||||
requirements on anyone wishing to build from the just-checked-out sources.
|
||||
Note the requirements to build the released archive are much less and
|
||||
are just the requirements of the standard configure && make procedure.
|
||||
Specific development tools and versions will be checked for and listed by
|
||||
the bootstrap script.
|
||||
|
||||
Valgrind <http://valgrind.org/> is also highly recommended, if
|
||||
Valgrind supports your architecture.
|
||||
|
||||
While building from a just-cloned source tree may require installing a
|
||||
few prerequisites, later, a plain `git pull && make' should be sufficient.
|
||||
|
||||
* First GIT checkout
|
||||
|
||||
You can get a copy of the source repository like this:
|
||||
|
||||
$ git clone https://libvirt.org/git/libvirt.git
|
||||
$ cd libvirt
|
||||
|
||||
We require to have the build directory different than the source directory:
|
||||
|
||||
$ mkdir build && cd build
|
||||
|
||||
The next step is to invoke ../autogen.sh:
|
||||
|
||||
$ ../autogen.sh
|
||||
|
||||
And there you are! Just
|
||||
|
||||
$ make
|
||||
$ make check
|
||||
|
||||
At this point, there should be no difference between your local copy,
|
||||
and the GIT master copy:
|
||||
|
||||
$ cd ..
|
||||
$ git diff
|
||||
|
||||
should output no difference.
|
||||
|
||||
Enjoy!
