Currently, in the autogen.sh script we check whether .git is an existing directory in which case bootstrap is run. However, if libvirt is a submodule, then the .git is just a file (with reference to the topmost .git directory). However, our submodule routines work well. So there's no real reason why we should prohibit users to build libvirt from submodule. --- diff to v1: - prefer || over -o autogen.sh | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/autogen.sh b/autogen.sh index 42e5608..f7c2022 100755 --- a/autogen.sh +++ b/autogen.sh @@ -64,7 +64,7 @@ bootstrap_hash() # like to run 'git clean -x -f po' to fix it; but only ./bootstrap regenerates # the required file po/Makevars. # Only run bootstrap from a git checkout, never from a tarball. -if test -d .git; then +if test -d .git || -f .git; then curr_status=.git-module-status t= if test "$no_git"; then t=no-git -- 1.8.1.5 -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
