I accidentally typed 'make' in the srcdir of a VPATH build, and was surprised to see this: $ make /bin/sh: s/^[ +-]//;s/ .*//: No such file or directory INFO: gnulib update required; running ./autogen.sh first make: -n: Command not found ./autogen.sh I am going to run ./configure with no arguments - if you wish to pass any to it, please specify them on the ./autogen.sh command line. running bootstrap... ./bootstrap: Bootstrapping from checked-out libvirt sources... ./bootstrap: getting gnulib files... Oops - we're trying to execute some fairly bogus command names, and then trying to configure in-tree (which breaks all existing VPATH builds, since automake refuses to do a VPATH build if it detects an in-tree configure). The third line (executing "-n") is fixed by updating to the latest gnulib; the rest of the problem is fixed by copying the same filtering in our cfg.mk as what gnulib just added, so that we avoid any $(shell) invocations which in turn depend on variables that are only populated by a working Makefile. With that in place, we are back to the much nicer: $ make There seems to be no Makefile in this directory. You must run ./configure before running 'make'. make: *** [abort-due-to-no-makefile] Error 1 Additionally, although harder to see - there was a trailing space in the message warning us that autogen would run an in-tree configure. * .gnulib: Update to latest, in part for maint.mk improvements. * cfg.mk (_update_required): Don't check for update in unconfigured directory. * autogen.sh (no_git): Drop trailing space.

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.
