Bug (1) is that it searches the $PATH to find dnsmasq. This is normally OK when libvirtd is launched from start-up scripts, but it's not very helpful if you run libvirtd by hand because likely-as-not your path won't contain /usr/sbin (the normal location of dnsmasq).
Bug (2) is that if libvirtd can't execvp dnsmasq, then it doesn't fail in any obvious way.
Bug (3) is that the path to brctl is hard-coded. This patch fixes bugs (1) & (3), but does not fix bug (2).Firstly configure has been changed so that it searches for dnsmasq and brctl programs in the usual places. If it find them then it generates a config.h file which looks like this:
-------------------- /* Location or name of the brctl program (see bridge-utils) */ #define BRCTL "/usr/sbin/brctl" /* Location or name of the dnsmasq program */ #define DNSMASQ "/usr/sbin/dnsmasq" --------------------If it doesn't find them then it just includes the program names, not full paths:
-------------------- /* Location or name of the brctl program (see bridge-utils) */ #define BRCTL "brctl" /* Location or name of the dnsmasq program */ #define DNSMASQ "dnsmasq" --------------------The code continues to use execvp to actually run the programs, so if the program names contain '/' then the absolute paths are used directly, otherwise execvp will do a shell-like search for the program along $PATH.
