Installation
============
Libvirt uses the GNU Autotools build system, so in general can be built
and installed with the usual commands, however, we mandate to have the
build directory different than the source directory. For example, to build
in a manner that is suitable for installing as root, use:
::
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ ../configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
$ make
$ sudo make install
While to build & install as an unprivileged user
::
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ ../configure --prefix=$HOME/usr
$ make
$ make install
The libvirt code relies on a large number of 3rd party libraries. These will
be detected during execution of the ``configure`` script and a summary printed
which lists any missing (optional) dependencies.
Instructions on building and installing libvirt can be found on the website:
https://libvirt.org/compiling.html
