When libvirtd is run from a build directory without being installed, it should not depend on files from a libvirt package installed in the system. Not only because there may not be any libvirt installed at all. We already do a good job for plugins but cpu_map.xml was still loaded from the system. The Makefile.am change is necessary to make this all work from VPATH builds since libvirtd has no idea where to find libvirt sources. It only knows the path from which it was started, i.e, a builddir. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1074327 Signed-off-by: Jiri Denemark <jdenemar@redhat.com>
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.
