There are a 58 docs files, so adding an autogenerated Table Of Contents to them all will take some time. This is the first piece of the work done.

Once an hour, an automated snapshot is made from the git server

source tree. These snapshots should be usable, but we make no guarantees

about their stability:

<h1>libvirt Application Development Guide</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The guide is both a learning tool for developing with libvirt and an
|
|
API reference document. It is a work in progress, composed by a
|
|
professional author from contributions written by members of the
|
|
libvirt team.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Contributions to the guide are <b>VERY</b> welcome. If you'd like to get
|
|
your name on this and demonstrate your virtualisation prowess, a solid
|
|
contribution to the content here will do it. :)

<h1><a name="installation">libvirt Installation</a></h1>
|
|
|
|
<h2><a name="Compilatio">Compiling a release tarball</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
libvirt uses the standard configure/make/install steps:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
gunzip -c libvirt-xxx.tar.gz | tar xvf -
|
|
cd libvirt-xxxx
|
|
./configure --help</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
To see the options, then the compilation/installation proper:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
./configure [possible options]
|
|
make
|
|
make install</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
At that point you may have to rerun ldconfig or a similar utility to
|
|
update your list of installed shared libs.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2><a name="build">Building from a GIT checkout</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The libvirt build process uses GNU autotools, so after obtaining a
|
|
checkout it is necessary to generate the configure script and Makefile.in
|
|
templates using the <code>autogen.sh</code> command, passing the extra
|
|
arguments as for configure. As an example, to do a complete build and
|
|
install it into your home directory run:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
./autogen.sh --prefix=$HOME/usr --enable-compile-warnings=error
|
|
make
|
|
make install</pre>
