Your automake version matched Fedora 18; but your kernel version was more like Fedora 19; you're definitely running a mixed-mode system. But thanks to some chatting on IRC, I think I understand the problem well enough that I was still able to write my patch on a stock F18 machine. It looks like automake is failing because autogen.sh was not completely run; and this in turn is due to bugs in the --no-git option. I think I fixed the --no-git bugs with this patch pending review: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-July/msg00232.html Also, be sure that when you use --no-git that your copy of GNULIB_SRCDIR matches the exact commit of gnulib.git that is recorded in libvirt.git. As of today's commits, it is the latest gnulib.git commit; but this is not always the case, and there have been historical instances where using the latest gnulib is not compatible with latest libvirt.git without further tweaks to libvirt (which is why we only do .gnulib submodule updates to libvirt when we are not in release freeze). -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
