Andrea Bolognani 058b30b382 ci: Fix handling of $PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR
There are two environment variables that are baked into our
cross-compilation container images at build time, $CONFIGURE_OPTS
and $PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR: the former contain the options necessary
to convince configure to perform a cross build rather than a
native one, and the latter is necessary so that pkg-config will
locate the .pc files for MinGW libraries. Container images that
are not intended for cross-compilation will not have either one
defined.

The problem is that, while an empty $CONFIGURE_OPTS is completely
harmless, setting $PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR to an emtpy value will
result in pkg-config not looking in its default search path, thus
not finding any library, and subsequently breaking native builds.

To work around this issue, only pass $PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR to sudo
when the value is set in the calling environment.

Libvirt API for virtualization

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.

For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.

Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.

Further information about the libvirt project can be found on the website:

License

The libvirt C API is distributed under the terms of GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 (or later). Some parts of the code that are not part of the C library may have the more restrictive GNU General Public License, version 2.0 (or later). See the files COPYING.LESSER and COPYING for full license terms & conditions.

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.

Contributing

The libvirt project welcomes contributions in many ways. For most components the best way to contribute is to send patches to the primary development mailing list. Further guidance on this can be found on the website:
