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.

Libtool is picky about linking against a module library (aka a .so); giving lots of warnings like this in the tests directory: CCLD networkxml2argvtest *** Warning: Linking the executable networkxml2argvtest against the loadable module *** libvirt_driver_network.so is not portable! Fix that by splitting things into a convenience library which can be used directly by the tests, and making the real .so just wrap the convenience library. Based on a suggestion by Daniel P. Berrange. * configure.ac (--with-driver-modules): Fix help test. * src/Makefile.am (libvirt_driver_xen.la, libvirt_driver_libxl.la) (libvirt_driver_qemu.la, libvirt_driver_lxc.la) (libvirt_driver_uml.la): Factor into new convenience libraries. * tests/Makefile.am (xen_LDADDS, qemu_LDADDS, lxc_LDADDS) (networkxml2argvtest_LDADD): Link to convenience libraries, not shared libraries. |

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.
