I've installed Debian bookworm instead of devuan. Maybe it's easier,since I know debian better than devuan. Let me understand a point : should I issue "apt build-dep libvirt" instead of "apt install virt-manager" ? aren't they equivalent commands ? Usually,as soon as I reinstall Debian,I do the installation of virt-manager and it grabs all its dependencies. If I understand correctly,I should not install virt-manager and its dependencies,right ? thanks.

No, there is no need to compile virt-manager, it is written in python
and so there is no compilation involved at all.
I would probably recommend you to remove `~/libvirt_build/` and
`~/Desktop/libvirt/build/` directories and start again.
If you've successfully installed all libvirt build dependencies using
`apt build-dep libvirt` you should have everything to build your own
libvirt if you are on Devuan 5.
The next step would be configuring libvirt so you can compile it using
the following command executed in the libvirt source directory:
meson setup build
Once that is completed you can build and install your libvirt using
the following command directly from the source directory as well:
ninja -C build
sudo ninja -C build install
The first one will build libvirt (I would not run it as root) and the
second one will install it into /usr/local/.
After that is done you should be able to run virsh and libvirtd directly
without any run script. You can verify which binary is actually used if
you run the following:
which virsh
which libvirtd
If everything is correct you should get these paths:
/usr/local/bin/virsh
/usr/local/sbin/libvirtd
Now you should be able to simply run `libvirtd &` to start the daemon.
After that running `virsh version` or any virsh command should just
work. Running `virt-manager` should also work and connect to the correct
libvirt.
I also tried installing QEMU build dependencies using `apt build-dep qemu`
and used the following steps to build QEMU 5.1.0 from source directory:
mkdir build
cd build
../configure (with options, I'm doing it on x86_64 so they are bit different)
make
sudo make install
But you should have theses steps completed already. Again you can verify
that you are using correct qemu-system-arm running:
which qemu-system-arm
where you should get
/usr/local/bin/qemu-system-arm
If you complete all of the build and install steps like here and start
libvirtd after that you should have everything set to work properly
and starting `virt-manager` without any special path should just work.
I verified all of this on Devuan 5 but on x86_64 architecture, don't
have any 32bit arm to try it on.
