I am trying to build/install libguestfs [1] from git. There is already am AUR package [2] but not the git version If I manually $ gitclone gitUrl $ cd libguestfs $ ./autogen.sh $ ./configure --someOptions the build goes until the end and leaves me with binaries. --------------------------------- Now I want to install it properly on my machine with a PKBUILD and wrote one. When running $ makepkg I have this structure which sounds correct: libguestfs-git/pkg/ libguestfs-git/src/AllNeededDir_cloned_here but at one time the build breaks with these errors: ----------------------------- ../src/.libs/libutils.a( libutils_la-cleanup.o): In function `guestfs___cleanup_xmlBufferFree': cleanup.c:(.text+0x79): undefined reference to `xmlBufferFree' ../src/.libs/libutils.a(libutils_la-cleanup.o): In function `guestfs___cleanup_xmlFreeDoc': cleanup.c:(.text+0x99): undefined reference to `xmlFreeDoc' ../src/.libs/libutils.a(libutils_la-cleanup.o): In function `guestfs___cleanup_xmlFreeURI': cleanup.c:(.text+0xb9): undefined reference to `xmlFreeURI' ../src/.libs/libutils.a(libutils_la-cleanup.o): In function `guestfs___cleanup_xmlFreeTextWriter': cleanup.c:(.text+0xd9): undefined reference to `xmlFreeTextWriter' ../src/.libs/libutils.a(libutils_la-cleanup.o): In function `guestfs___cleanup_xmlXPathFreeContext': cleanup.c:(.text+0xf9): undefined reference to `xmlXPathFreeContext' ../src/.libs/libutils.a(libutils_la-cleanup.o): In function `guestfs___cleanup_xmlXPathFreeObject': cleanup.c:(.text+0x119): undefined reference to `xmlXPathFreeObject' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status Makefile:1598: recipe for target 'virt-p2v' failed ------------------------------------- The build part of PKGBUILD: build(){ cd "$srcdir/libguestfs" ./autogen.sh ./configure --someOptions make } I can't figure out why the binaries build manually and not using makepkg. I suspect this could be a path error at one point, but can't see why. Thank you for any suggestion.
