libvirt depends on a ton of packages, so trying to install them all by using the classic approach of repeatedly running configure and reacting to each failure by installing the corresponding missing package will inevitably lead to frustration. Luckily there's an easy solution to get most dependencies installed in one fell swoop, and we just need to document it.

Contributing to libvirt
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
Full, up to date information on how to contribute to libvirt can be
|
|
found on the libvirt website:
|
|
|
|
https://libvirt.org/contribute.html
|
|
|
|
To build the same document locally, from the top level directory of
|
|
your git clone run:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
$ mkdir build && cd build
|
|
$ ../autogen.sh
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
You'll find the freshly-built document in ``docs/contribute.html``.
|
|
|
|
If ``configure`` fails because of missing dependencies, you can set
|
|
up your system by calling
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
$ sudo dnf builddep libvirt
|
|
|
|
if you're on a RHEL-based distribution or
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
$ sudo apt-get build-dep libvirt
|
|
|
|
if you're on a Debian-based one.
|
|
|
|
You might still be missing some dependencies if your distribution is
|
|
shipping an old libvirt version, but that will get you much closer to
|
|
where you need to be to build successfully from source.
