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. * daemon/Makefile.am (DAEMON_SOURCES): Drop .c files... (libvirtd_LDADD): ...and instead use library. (libvirtd_conf_la_SOURCES): Declare a new convenience library. (libvirtd_LDFLAGS): Drop duplicate flag. * tests/Makefile.am (libvirtdconftest_SOURCES): Drop .c file... (libvirtdconftest_LDADD): ..and instead use library.

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.

Description
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.
