Commit f92c7e3 fixed a regression for native builds, but introduced a regression for cross-compilation builds; in particular, ./autobuild.sh on a Fedora system with mingw cross-compiler fails with: checking for qemu-kvm... /usr/bin/qemu-kvm checking for yajl_parse_complete in -lyajl... no checking for yajl_tree_parse in -lyajl... no configure: error: You must install the libyajl library & headers to compile libvirt Since we default $with_qemu to 'yes' rather than 'check', and then flip that default based on platform-specific checks, those platform specifics need to come prior to any library checks that depend on the value of $with_qemu. * configure.ac: Ensure system defaults are sane before checking for things that make decisions based on system default.

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.
