On Fedora 20, with the following in my ~/.rpmmacros: %_without_udev 1 %_without_storage_mpath 1 and with device-mapper-devel uninstalled, 'make rpm' fails with: checking for libdevmapper.h... no configure: error: You must install device-mapper-devel/libdevmapper >= 1.0.0 to compile libvirt error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.Wo9pOG (%build) This is a rather late point to be issuing an error; better is to flag missing packages up front. The fix is to match the logic in configure.ac on when devmapper is required (for both mpath and storage). While at it, rbd storage is not dependent on mpath. With this patch applied, I now get: $ rpmbuild -ta libvirt-1.2.2.tar.gz error: Failed build dependencies: device-mapper-devel is needed by libvirt-1.2.2-1.fc20.x86_64 until either installing the package or further modifying ~/.rpmmacros to add "%_without_storage_disk 1". * libvirt.spec.in (BuildRequires): Fix build when mpath is disabled.

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.
