configure check for character devices lock path calls AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED for VIR_CHRDEV_LOCK_FILE_PATH even if $with_chrdev_lock_files = "no". So the locking code in conf/virchrdev.c: #ifdef VIR_CHRDEV_LOCK_FILE_PATH is compiled in even if it shouldn't, because VIR_CHRDEV_LOCK_FILE_PATH is defined as "no", so it tries to create lock files with strange lock path like 'no/LCK..'. Fix that by calling AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED only if $with_chrdev_lock_files is not 'no'. --- configure.ac | 6 ++++-- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/configure.ac b/configure.ac index a9339ce..62b74c5 100644 --- a/configure.ac +++ b/configure.ac @@ -1401,8 +1401,10 @@ if test "$with_chrdev_lock_files" != "no"; then AC_MSG_ERROR([You must specify path for the lock files on this platform]) fi - AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED([VIR_CHRDEV_LOCK_FILE_PATH], "$with_chrdev_lock_files", - [path to directory containing UUCP device lock files]) + if test "$with_chrdev_lock_files" != "no"; then + AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED([VIR_CHRDEV_LOCK_FILE_PATH], "$with_chrdev_lock_files", + [path to directory containing UUCP device lock files]) + fi fi AM_CONDITIONAL([VIR_CHRDEV_LOCK_FILE_PATH], [test "$with_chrdev_lock_files" != "no"]) -- 1.8.4.2 -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
