On RHEL 5.7, I got this compilation failure:
In file included from /usr/include/python2.4/pyport.h:98,
from /usr/include/python2.4/Python.h:55,
from libvirt.c:3:
../gnulib/lib/time.h:468: error: expected ';', ',' or ')' before '__timer'
Turns out that our '#define restrict __restrict' from config.h wasn't
being picked up. Gnulib _requires_ that all .c files include <config.h>
first, otherwise the gnulib header overrides tend to misbehave.
Problem introduced by patch c700613b8.
* python/generator.py (buildStubs): Include <config.h> first.
libvirt Python Bindings README
==============================
Most of the libvirt python binding code is automatically generated
using the script generator.py, and the API description from
docs/libvirt-api.xml
Manually written files:
- libvirt-override.c: methods where the C binding needs to be hand crafted
- libvirt-override.py: global methods where the C and python bindings have different args
- libvirt-override-api.xml: methods where the auto-extracted API docs are not
suitable for python auto-generator. Overriding this if the method is going
into libvirt-override.c, but we still want auto-generated libvirt-override.py
- libvirt-override-virConnect.py: virConnect class methods
- typewrappers.h,.c: Python object wrappers for each libvirt C object
Auto-generated files:
- libvirt.py: The main python binding. Comprises auto-generated code, along
with contents from libvirt-override.py and libvirt-override-virConnect.py
- libvirt.c, libvirt.h: The C glue layer for the python binding. Comprises
auto-generated code, along with libvirt-override.c
- libvirt-export.c: List of auto-generated C methods, included into
the libvirt-override.c method table
