The reason to use 'libtool --mode=execute' at all is so that you can use gdb. Thus './run gdb ./program' is expanded to: libtool --mode=execute gdb ./program (Same reasoning applies to './run valgrind ./program'). The reason not to use ./libtool is because in libguestfs we replace the top-level ./libtool script with something else for a variety of complicated reasons. The reason to check if libtool exists (running 'libtool --help') is so that the whole thing works if the user didn't install (global) libtool. So I agree that for libvirt it's better to run the toplevel ./libtool program instead. Please see the attached updated patch which changes this, and also doesn't set $PATH (wasn't required), but is otherwise the same. BTW this script is super-useful. For example to run the libguestfs test suite using a local copy of libvirt you just have to do: ../libvirt/run make check Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones Read my programming blog: http://rwmj.wordpress.com Fedora now supports 80 OCaml packages (the OPEN alternative to F#) http://cocan.org/getting_started_with_ocaml_on_red_hat_and_fedora

Jones" <rjones@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 14 Sep 2012 10:08:54 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Add a ./run script for running programs from the local directory. With this script you can run libvirt programs without needing to install them first. You just have to do for example: ./run ./tools/virsh [args ...] If you are already in the tools/ subdirectory, then the following command will also work: ../run ./virsh [...] You can also run the C programs under valgrind like this: ./run valgrind [valgrind opts...] ./program or under gdb: ./run gdb --args ./program This also works with sudo (eg. if you need root access for libvirt): sudo ./run ./tools/virsh list --all Derived from libguestfs and simplified. The ./run script in libguestfs is much more sophisticated: https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/blob/master/run.in --- .gitignore | 1 + configure.ac | 2 ++ docs/compiling.html.in | 11 ++----- run.in | 74 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 79 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) create mode 100644 run.in diff --git a/.gitignore b/.gitignore index 7d49a35..1cd2d45 100644 --- a/.gitignore +++ b/.gitignore @@ -94,6 +94,7 @@ /python/libvirt.[ch] /python/libvirt.py /python/libvirt_qemu.py +/run /sc_* /src/.*.stamp /src/esx/*.generated.* diff --git a/configure.ac b/configure.ac index 2090e5f..186f79e 100644 --- a/configure.ac +++ b/configure.ac @@ -2972,6 +2972,8 @@ AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED([isbase64],[libvirt_gl_isbase64],[Hack to avoid symbol clash] AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED([base64_encode],[libvirt_gl_base64_encode],[Hack to avoid symbol clash]) AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED([base64_encode_alloc],[libvirt_gl_base64_encode_alloc],[Hack to avoid symbol clash]) +AC_CONFIG_FILES([run], + [chmod +x,-w run]) AC_OUTPUT(Makefile src/Makefile include/Makefile docs/Makefile \ docs/schemas/Makefile \ gnulib/lib/Makefile \ diff --git a/docs/compiling.html.in b/docs/compiling.html.in index d39986e..0bfb298 100644 --- a/docs/compiling.html.in +++ b/docs/compiling.html.in @@ -101,18 +101,11 @@ <p> It is also possible to run virsh directly from the source tree + using the ./run script (which sets some environment variables): </p> <pre> - $ ./tools/virsh .... + $ ./run ./tools/virsh .... </pre> - - <p> - A normal configuration of libvirt will build hypervisor drivers - as loadable modules.
