While trying to debug a failure of virpcitest during 'make distcheck', I noticed that with a VPATH build, 'cd tests; ./virpcitest' fails for an entirely different reason. To reproduce the distcheck failure, I had to run 'cd tests; abs_srcdir=/path/to/src ./virpcitest'. But we document in HACKING that all of our tests are supposed to be runnable without requiring extra environment variables. The solution: hardcode the location of srcdir into the just-built binaries, rather than requiring make to prepopulate environment variables. With this, './virpcitest' passes even in a VPATH build (provided that $(srcdir) is writable; a followup patch will fix the conditions required by 'make distcheck'). [Note: the makefile must still pass on directory variables to the test environment of shell scripts, since those aren't compiled. So while this solves the case of a compiled test, it still requires environment variables to pass a VPATH build of any shell script test case that relies on srcdir.] * tests/Makefile.am (AM_CFLAGS): Define abs_srcdir in all compiled tests. * tests/testutils.h (abs_srcdir): Quit declaring. * tests/testutils.c (virtTestMain): Rely on define rather than environment variable. * tests/virpcimock.c (pci_device_new_from_stub): Rely on define. * tests/cputest.c (mymain): Adjust abs_top_srcdir default. * tests/qemuxml2argvtest.c (mymain): Likewise. * tests/qemuxmlnstest.c (mymain): Likewise.

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.
