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.

When libvirt_lxc is built, it uses the utility library and #includes virnetdev.h, which #includes virnetlink.h, which includes <netlink/msg.h>. Normally, the netlink include directory would be just off /usr/include, so that wouldn't create a problem, but on Fedora and RHEL systems using libnl3, the libnl includes have been moved into /usr/include/libnl3 (to allow concurrent installation of libnl-1.1). All other binaries that need it have added $(LIBNL_CFLAGS) to their CFLAGS, but not libvirt_lxc, so it fails to build on Fedora and RHEL that have only libnl3-devel installed. This was previously unnoticed because everyone was building with libnl headers in /usr/include/netlink (even on systems with the headers in /usr/include/libnl3/netlink, many people (like me) usually also have the libnl1.1 headers in /usr/include/netlink). This patch adds the necessary CFLAGS for libvirt_lxc. Note that we don't need to add $(LIBNL_LIBS) to the LDADD for this binary, because it never directly calls libnl functions, but only calls them indirectly through the util library, which it's already linking against. |

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.
