The libvirt API is now available in all major Linux distributions,
so the simplest deployment approach is to use your distributions'
package management software to install the libvirt
module.
libvirt uses GNU autotools for its build system, so deployment
follows the usual process of configure; make ; make install
# ./configure --prefix=$HOME/usr
# make
# make install
When building from GIT it is necessary to generate the autotools
support files. This requires having autoconf,
automake, libtool and intltool
installed. The process can be automated with the autogen.sh
script.
# ./autogen.sh --prefix=$HOME/usr
# make
# make install
