Hi all, On the home straight getting libvirt to work "out of the box" on MacOS X. (ideal scenario: it's "good enough" today. :>) With the very latest git snapshot, to get a working compile requires these options to be used: ./configure --without-network --without-storage-fs Leaving either of the network or storage-fs options not explicitly disabled, causes failure during compilation. Wondering if these two or fundamentally Linux specific things, so we should update our configure.ac to not attempt them on non-Linux, or do they indicate actual problem(s)? *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** The remainder of this email is kind of lengthy, giving info on the specific errors caused by each of the above options. Feel free to ignore this if it's of no interest. :) + Leaving off --without-network gives *********************************************************************** gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I..
