Commit f6430390 broke builds on RHEL 5, where glibc (2.5) is too old to support mkostemp (2.7) or htole64 (2.9). While gnulib has mkostemp, it still lacks htole64; and it's not worth dragging in replacements on systems where journald is unlikely to exist in the first place, so we just use an extra configure-time check as our witness of whether to attempt compiling the code. * src/util/logging.c (virLogParseOutputs): Don't attempt to compile journald on older glibc. * configure.ac (AC_CHECK_DECLS): Check for htole64.
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.
