Re: [libvirt] [PATCH 2/4] maint: start factoring bootstrap
According to Eric Blake on 2/22/2010 5:01 PM:
Borrow ideas from gnulib/build-aux/bootstrap, in order to factor the
specifics of libvirt into bootstrap.conf, while allowing future
upgrades of bootstrap to happen with less effort.
* bootstrap (gnulib_tool): Update invocation to be closer to
gnulib's version. Move libvirt specifics...
* bootstrap.conf: ...into new file.
...
+# Build prerequisites
+buildreq="\
+autoconf 2.59
+automake 1.9.6
+autopoint -
+gettext -
+git 1.6.4
+gzip -
+libtool -
+perl 5.5
+rsync -
+tar -
I don't have a RHEL 5 installation handy; are all of these prerequisites
reasonable, or is git 1.6.4 a bit strong of a pre-req? If the latter,
then I can further patch gnulib's bootstrap to fall back gracefully to a
use of the older 'git clone --reference' instead of 'git submodule update
--init --reference'. Are there any other tools that we should be adding
into the prereq list, now that gnulib's bootstrap does a good job of
aborting early if a development tool is insufficient for building from a
git snapshot?
