The latest release at https://libvirt.org/sources/libvirt-6.6.0.tar.xz
includes a configure script that breaks Homebrew (and other builds on
MacOS/Darwin). The breaking change is related to a new version of the
file m4/libtool.m4; line 2648 was changed to:
shrext_cmds='`test .$module = .yes && echo .bundle || echo .dylib`'
However, src/driver.c loads modules with ".so" extensions, at line 56:
if (!(modfile = virFileFindResourceFull(name,
"libvirt_driver_",
".so",
The released tarball for 6.5.0 had the same shrext_cmds as upstream
libtool:
shrext_cmds='`test .$module = .yes && echo .so || echo .dylib`'
Not sure where to submit the issue (as the m4 files aren't in libvirt
source control)... it appears to only affect the distribution tarball.
Perhaps the tarball could be re-released with autoconf from the official
upstream libtool? (2.4.6)
Thanks,
Scott
PS. MacPorts is unaffected as it runs autogen.sh... but that shouldn't
be necessary with a distribution tarball :)
