Hi us,
Going through the process of getting libvirt to compile on OSX, making
notes of the failures on the way through (from a clean system) to be fixed.
a) libtool -> glibtool
libtoolize -> glibtoolize
It turns out that autogen.sh is hard coded to use "libtool", and
wants the GNU version.
OSX supplies has it's own version, without a --version option, so
autogen.sh fails.
Installing GNU libtool through MacPorts, makes it available as
glibtool, with libtoolize being glibtoolize.
Adjusting autogen.sh to detect that, then set LIBTOOL and LIBTOOLIZE
appropriately was fairly trivial.
Will submit a patch to fix that in a bit.
b) pkg-config
The next thing to barf was autoconf, complaining about AC_MSG_ERROR
not being a defined macro.
Googling with some persistence showed this is caused by pkg-config
not being installed. Fixed that.
Will submit a patch for that too. Probably "pkg-config --version"
based, copying the approach used for the other autogen.sh checks.
c) This is a compilation failure, one I don't readily know how to fix:
...
Making all in src
make all-am
CC libvirt_util_la-network.lo
util/network.c: In function 'getIPv6Addr':
util/network.c:50: error: 'struct in6_addr' has no member named
's6_addr16'
util/network.c:50: error: 'struct in6_addr' has no member named
's6_addr16'
util/network.c:50: error: 'struct in6_addr' has no member named
's6_addr16'
util/network.c:50: error: 'struct in6_addr' has no member named
's6_addr16'
make[3]: *** [libvirt_util_la-network.lo] Error 1
make[2]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2
$
They're the only problems so far, though most things have been disabled
on the ./configure line so it's only the client libraries being built.
Anyone know how to address that third one?
Regards and best wishes,
Justin Clift
