The simplest way to build RPMs of libvirt is: in your build directory (the one where you are able to successfuly build the current tree) to do 1) ensure that you have all dependencies installed first: # dnf builddep libvirt 2) Change to the build directory of the current checkout and run $ cd /path/to/builddir/libvirt $ meson dist This creates a tarball, look for the output: Created /home/pipo/build/libvirt/gcc/meson-dist/libvirt-10.10.0.tar.xz 3) Since the tarball contains a spec file build it directly using: $ rpmbuild -tb /path/to/tarball RPMs will end up in ~/rpmbuild/RPMS. > > -- > ------------------------ [snipped build log]
