This deletes all trace of gnulib from libvirt. We still have the keycodemapdb submodule to deal with. The simple solution taken was to update it when running autogen.sh. Previously gnulib could auto-trigger refresh when running 'make' too. We could figure out a solution for this, but with the pending meson rewrite it isn't worth worrying about, given how infrequently keycodemapdb changes.

These notes intend to help people working on the checked-out sources.
|
|
These requirements do not apply when building from a distribution tarball.
|
|
See also docs/hacking.html (after building libvirt using the information
|
|
included in this file) for more detailed contribution guidelines.
|
|
|
|
* Requirements
|
|
|
|
We've opted to keep only the highest-level sources in the GIT repository.
|
|
This eases our maintenance burden, (fewer merges etc.), but imposes more
|
|
requirements on anyone wishing to build from the just-checked-out sources.
|
|
Note the requirements to build the released archive are much less and
|
|
are just the requirements of the standard configure && make procedure.
|
|
Specific development tools and versions will be checked for and listed by
|
|
the bootstrap script.
|
|
|
|
Valgrind <http://valgrind.org/> is also highly recommended, if
|
|
Valgrind supports your architecture.
|
|
|
|
While building from a just-cloned source tree may require installing a
|
|
few prerequisites, later, a plain `git pull && make' should be sufficient.
|
|
|
|
* First GIT checkout
|
|
|
|
You can get a copy of the source repository like this:
|
|
|
|
$ git clone https://libvirt.org/git/libvirt.git
|
|
$ cd libvirt
|
|
|
|
We require to have the build directory different than the source directory:
|
|
|
|
$ mkdir build && cd build
|
|
|
|
The next step is to invoke ../autogen.sh:
|
|
|
|
$ ../autogen.sh
|
|
|
|
And there you are! Just
|
|
|
|
$ make
|
|
$ make check
|
|
|
|
At this point, there should be no difference between your local copy,
|
|
and the GIT master copy:
|
|
|
|
$ cd ..
|
|
$ git diff
|
|
|
|
should output no difference.
|
|
|
|
Enjoy!
