When trying to install libvirtd from sources I've noticed the
following failure:
/usr/bin/install: cannot stat 'virt-guest-shutdown.target': No such file or directory
Makefile:2792: recipe for target 'install-init-systemd' failed
make[3]: *** [install-init-systemd] Error 1
make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
The problem is that while other files around that location in
Makefile are firstly generated into the builddir and only after
that installed, virt-guest-shutdown.target file is not generated
at all and should be installed from the srcdir.
This was introduced in 01079727.

It is already discussed in "[RFC] daemon: remove hardcode dep on libvirt-guests" [1].
Mgmt can use means to save/restore domains on system shutdown/boot other than
libvirt-guests.service. Thus we need to specify appropriate ordering dependency between
libvirtd, domains and save/restore service. This patch takes approach suggested
in RFC and introduces a systemd target, so that ordering can be built next way:
libvirtd -> domain -> virt-guest-shutdown.target -> save-restore.service.
This way domains are decoupled from specific shutdown service via intermediate
target.

We can't use eg. @sysconfdir@ directly in the .pod file, because
pod2man(1) will interpret that as a variable name and format it
accordingly.
Instead, we use eg. SYSCONFDIR and use a subsequent sed(1) call
to turn it into the expected @sysconfdir@.
After this commit, all man pages are generated using the same two
steps:
1. Process a source $command.pod file with pod2man(1) to obtain
a valid man page in $command.$section.in
2. Process $command.$section.in with sed(1) to obtain the final
man page in $command.$section
This reverts commit 1e9808d3a1.
We shouldn't advertise libvirtd.socket activation, since currently
it means VM/network/... autostart won't work as expected.
We tried to find a middle ground by installing the config file without
an [Install] section, since systemd won't allow .socket to be enabled
without one... or at least it did do that; presently on f24 it allows
activating the socket quite happily. This also caused user confusion[1]
Just remove the socket file. I've filed a new RFE to track coming up
with a solution to the autostart problem[2], we can point users at that
if there's more confusion:

This API is merely a convenience API, i.e. when managing clients connected to
daemon's servers, we should know (convenience) which server the specific client
is connected to. This implies a client-side representation of a server along
with a basic API to let the administrating client know what servers are actually
available on the daemon.

First hunk changes the use of srcdir to top_srcdir so it complies with
other rules in the Makefile. Second one removes the need of
remote_protocol.h in admin_protocol.h as it was suggested and worked in,
but this one line was missed apparently. Last one just removes the
'remote' naming from admin protocol specification, just so it's cleaner.

So, it's a little paradox that we use the file twice. Firstly to build
libvirt-admin.la (a client side of the Admin API), then once again to
build the server side. Well, the problem is, this does not play nicely
with the distclean since the file is generated. So while it's removed
in the src/ the distclean running in daemon/ will not find the file
and fail. The file is needed because it contains the RPC wrappers. So
let's leave the client code as is and from the daemon/ just link the
client library. The linker will find desired symbols and use them.

The Admin API consists of a few files on daemon side. Notably
daemon/admin_server.{ch}. While they are both on the repo, only
the .c file is mentioned in Makefile. Therefore, .h is not

In latest patches we added Admin API. However, the Makefile in daemon
was missing one dependency: admin_server.c is including generated file
admin_dispatch.h. However, this dependency was not explicitly marked
in the Makefile therefore the build happened to fail on some
occasions.

I noticed this problem when adding systemd support to netcf, because I
setup the configure.ac to automatically prefer using systemd over
initscripts when possible - although I had copied the
install-data-local target from the example of libvirt's
"libvirt-guests" service more or less verbatim, "make distcheck" would
fail because it was trying to install the service file directly into
/lib/systemd/system rather than into
/home/user/some/unimportant/name/lib/systemd/system.
This is caused by the install/uninstall rules for the systemd unit
files relying on $(DESTDIR) pointing the installed files to the right
place, but in reality $(DESTDIR) is empty during this part of make
distcheck - it instead sets $(prefix) with the toplevel directory used
for its test build/install/uninstall cycle.
(This problem hasn't been seen when running "make distcheck" in
libvirt because libvirt will never build/install systemd support
unless explicitly told to do so on the configure commandline, and
"make distcheck" doesn't put the "--with-initscript=..." option on the
configure commandline.)
I verified that the same problem does exist in libvirt by modifying
libvirt's configure.ac to set:
init_systemd=yes
with_init_script=systemd+redhat
This forces a build/install of the systemd unit files during
distcheck, which yields an error like this:
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 virtlockd.service \
/lib/systemd/system/
libtool: install: warning: relinking `libvirt-qemu.la'
/usr/bin/install: cannot remove '/lib/systemd/system/virtlockd.service': Permission denied
make[4]: *** [install-systemd] Error 1
After adding $(prefix) to all the definitions of SYSTEMD_UNIT_DIR,
make distcheck now completes successfully with the modified
configure.ac, and the above lines change to something like this:
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 virtlockd.service \
/home/laine/devel/libvirt/libvirt-1.2.1/_inst/lib/systemd/system/
The libvirt.so library has far too many library deps to allow
linking against it from setuid programs. Those libraries can
do stuff in __attribute__((constructor) functions which is
not setuid safe.
The virt-login-shell needs to link directly against individual
files that it uses, with all library deps turned off except
for libxml2 and libselinux.
Create a libvirt-setuid-rpc-client.la library which is linked
to by virt-login-shell. A config-post.h file allows this library
to disable all external deps except libselinux and libxml2.

If we use subdir-objects with automake, any reference to a
cross-directory .c file will result in automake creating
rules that track dependency in the cross directory. But this
presents a problem during 'make distclean' - if the cross
directory is cleaned up first, then the daemon directory will
be left with dangling references to .Po dependency files that
no longer exist.
Meanwhile, referring to the cross-directory .c file means
that we are compiling the file twice - once in src, and once
in daemon. Better is to compile just once in src into a
convenience library, and then use that library from daemon.
The tests directory had a similar situation of a cross-directory
.c file; to solve that, we actually need a convenience library.

Trying to enable automake's subdir-objects option resulted in
the creation of literal directories such as src/$(srcdir)/remote/.
I traced this to the fact that we had used a literal $(srcdir)
in a location that later fed an automake *_SOURCES variable.
This has also been reported as an automake bug:
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=13928
but it's better to fix our code than to wait for an automake fix.
Some things to remember that affect VPATH builds, and where an
in-tree build is blissfully unaware of the issues: if a VPATH
build fails to find a file that was used as a prereq of any
other target, then the rule for that file will expand $@ to
prefer the current build dir (bad because a VPATH build on a
fresh checkout will then stick $@ in the current directory
instead of the desired srcdir); conversely, if a VPATH build
finds the file in srcdir but decides it needs to be rebuilt,
then the rule for that file will expand $@ to include the
directory where it was found out-of-date (bad for an explicit
listing of $(srcdir)/$@ because an incremental VPATH build will
then expand srcdir twice). As we want these files to go into
srcdir unconditionally, we have to massage or avoid $@ for any
recipe that involves one of these files.
Therefore, this patch removes all uses of $(srcdir) from any
generated file name that later feeds a *_SOURCES variable, and
then rewrites all the recipes to generate those files to
hard-code their creation into srcdir without the use of $@.

Automake has builtin support to prevent botched conditional nesting,

else !FOO
endif !FOO

daemon/Makefile.am:381: error: endif reminder (LIBVIRT_INIT_SCRIPT_SYSTEMD_TRUE) incompatible with current conditional: LIBVIRT_INIT_SCRIPT_SYSTEMD_FALSE
As our makefiles tend to have quite a bit of nested conditionals,
it's better to take advantage of the benefits of the build system
double-checking that our conditionals are well-nested, but that
requires a syntax check to enforce our usage style.
Alas, unlike C preprocessor and spec files, we can't use indentation

I did a build --without-libvirtd, then ran 'make dist'. The

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=887017 reports that
even though libvirt attempts to set fs.aio-max-nr via sysctl,
the file was installed with the wrong name and gets ignored by
sysctl. Furthermore, 'man systcl.d' recommends that packages
install into hard-coded /usr/lib/sysctl.d (even when libdir is
/usr/lib64), so that sysadmins can use /etc/sysctl.d for overrides.

Also, we were using some non-portable sed constructs: \@ is an
undefined escape sequence (it happens to be @ itself in GNU sed,
but POSIX allows it to mean something else), as well as risky
behavior (failure to consistently quote things means a space
in $(sysconfdir) could throw things off; also, Autoconf recommends
using | rather than , or ! in the s||| operator, because | has to
be quoted in shell and is therefore less likely to appear in file
names than , or !).
