[Libvir] libvirt on OS X Leopard 10.5.1

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I spent the weekend attempting to get libvirt working on OS X Leopard 10.5.1. I was able to get it to compile, but not connect to libvirtd running on either my KVM or Xen servers. Here are the instructions for getting it to compile: 1. Download libvirt-0.4.0 from the mirrors. 2. Use macports to install pkgconfig and gnutls 3. Configure your source: ./configure --without-xen --without-qemu 4. Replace instances of 'hyper' in qemu/remote_protocol.x with 'long' and then follow the instructions on http://libvirt.org/windows.html to regen XDR structures. 5. Edit '/usr/include/net/if.h' and add the following include: #include <net/if_var.h> #include <sys/types.h> // // EDIT: akutz // #include <sys/socket.h> 6. Create a symlink for 'malloc.h' so the libvirt source can find it: sudo ln -s /usr/include/malloc/malloc.h /usr/include/malloc.h 7. Add a header to "src/remote_internal.c": // // EDIT: akutz // #include <sys/un.h> 8. The version-script parameter of ld is not portable to OS X. Edit 'src/Makefile': # # EDIT: akutz # #libvirt_la_LDFLAGS = -Wl,--version-script=$(srcdir)/ libvirt_sym.version \ # -version-info 4:0:4 \ # $(COVERAGE_CFLAGS:-f%=-Wc,-f%) \ libvirt_la_LDFLAGS = -Wl, \ -version-info 4:0:4 \ $(COVERAGE_CFLAGS:-f%=-Wc,-f%) \ 9. Replace the distribution copy of libread.dylib with the one from Macports or else you will get errors about missing symbols (thread starts here http://www.mail-archive.com/macports-dev@lists.macosforge.org/msg00729.html) : sudo mv /usr/lib/libreadline.dylib /usr/lib/libreadline.dylib.dist sudo ln -s /opt/local/lib/libreadline.dylib /usr/lib/libreadline.dylib 10. The sources should now build and install. At this point any attempt to connect to a remote host results in the thread dying and OS X catching the exception with the following report: <beginReport> Process: Python [57356] Path: /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/ 2.5/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python Identifier: Python Version: ???

I sure would love to be able to use libvirt instead of xenapi. Thanks! - -- - -a
