[libvirt] MinGW environment for libvirt (at this moment))
by Atsushi SAKAI 26 Jun '08

26 Jun '08

Hi, This is a current memo for building MinGW environment for libvirt. (up to run src/.libs/virsh.exe) Of course this Windows path is opened by Rich. this is another way to build this. Ref. http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2008-January/msg00017.html Compares to Rich one, 2 different point exists 1)GCC version is keeps 3.x not 4.x. 2)libxml2 is using GTK one. Any suggestions are welcome. Since I want to simplify this complicated procedure. 1.Install MinGW-5.1.4.exe 2.Install MSYS-1.0.11-2004.04.30-1.exe 3.Install msysDTK-1.0.1.exe Above files are taken from following http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435 4.Install gtk-dev-2.12.9-win32-2.exe (This is for using pkg-config/gettext/libxml2) Taken from http://gladewin32.sourceforge.net/ 5.expand m4-1.4.7-MSYS.tar.bz2 from root directory (we need 1.4.5 or later but msysDTK installs 1.4) Taken from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435 6.Install autoconf-2.62.tar.gz ./configure --prefix=/usr make make install Taken from http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/ 7.Install automake-1.10.1.tar.gz ./configure --prefix=/usr make make install (create /usr/share/aclocal-1.10) Taken from http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/ 8.Install libtool-1.5.18.tar.gz ./configure --prefix=/usr make make install Taken from http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/ 9.Add m4 script for aclocal cp /mingw/lib/GTK/share/aclocal/* /usr/share/aclocal (This is for running autogen.sh) 10..Install GNUTLS expand gnutls-2.3.13.exe to c:\msys\1.0 (it goes to /usr)(This is for /usr/share/aclocal) cp -r /usr/include/gnutls /mingw/include cp /usr/lib/libgnutls* /mingw/lib cp /usr/lib/libgpg-error* /mingw/lib cp /usr/lib/libgcrypt* /mingw/lib cp /usr/lib/tasn1.* /mingw/lib rewrite dependency_libs on /mingw/lib/libgnutls.la from /home/jas/gnutls4win/inst to /mingw Taken from http://josefsson.org/gnutls4win/ 11.expand xdr Install xdr-4.0-mingw5.tar.gz(see Rich Page) rpc => /mingw/include lib*.a => /mingw/lib http://www.annexia.org/tmp/xdr-4.0-mingw5.tar.gz 12.get libvirt code from CVS repository comment out siginfo_t (currently this problem is assigned to me) ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ 13.create virsh ./autogen.sh (tgz file lacks this. you should get CVS repository) ./configure --without-xen --without-qemu --without-sasl --without-libvirtd make (Ignore compile stops at testutils.c) (this problem is also assigned to me.) 14.execute src/.libs/virsh.exe Thanks Atsushi SAKAI

[libvirt] ULLONG_MAX undeclared
by a.hocquel＠free.fr 25 Jun '08

25 Jun '08

Hi, I subscribed today on the list because I have a compilation problem of libvirt 0.4.2 and 0.4.3 (didn't try the other versions). I'm trying to compile libvirt on a Debian Etch with Xen 3.2.0 (also tried with a 3.2.1) Every time I have this mistake: storage_conf.c: In function 'virStorageSize': storage_conf.c:659: error: 'ULLONG_MAX' undeclared (first use in this function) storage_conf.c:659: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once storage_conf.c:659: error: for each function it appears in.) make[2]: *** [libvirt_la-storage_conf.lo] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/libvirt-0.4.2/src' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/libvirt-0.4.2' make: *** [all] Error 2 I looked for ULLONG_MAX and find it in /usr/include/limits.h and /usr/include/linux/kernel.h So first I decided to add #include <limits.h> inside storage_conf.c but it didn't change anything. Surely the definition of ULLONG_MAX is surrounded by an "unwelcome" condition. So actually to succeed the compilation I directly added: # define ULLONG_MAX 18446744073709551615ULL inside the files (storage_backend_fs.c need it too). I know that's dirty, so is there anybody who can help me to make it in a clean way? Thank you by advance. Best Regards, Alex

[libvirt] Question about compilation on MinGW(StorageAPI)
by Atsushi SAKAI 25 Jun '08

25 Jun '08

Hi, Rich and Dan I have a question about libvirt on MinGW. As you know, MinGW supports remote management only. In this situation, Storage API(dir) should be off. Can I configure it? or other way exists? One more question on MinGW with Ruby, Does someone already test the Ruby bindings on MinGW? I am stacked this on configuration of "rake" on MinGW. Thanks Atsushi SAKAI

[libvirt] Packaged Java bindings for libvirt
by Daniel Veillard 25 Jun '08

25 Jun '08

Now that java is officially free, it's a good time to get the bindings the full support they deserve. This work is based on Tóth István ealier 0.0.1 version sent to the list. I refactored the tree a bit, added auto* configure capabilities, spec file and added it in CVS. I used a separate tree for CVS, I think we don't need to couple the releases for both. The package is named libvirt-java (no suprize), it compiles, build and seems to work fine on Fedora 9 with OpenJDK 6, compilation seems to also work with gcj but my build failed because jar failed to run du to a missing class... I'm really not a Java expert, I would really welcome addition from those who know, there is many things to be added: - ant makefile - Eclipse integration/makefile - making it work on Windows - completing the API to cover the full 0.4.x set - many things that Java experts will find missing ! I think we can keep this mailing-list as the primary channel for discussions. The CVS base is next to the libvirt one, use the same instructions but use 'co libvirt-java' instead of 'co libvirt', next thing I need to do is write a documentation page to put on libvirt.org. Anyway: libvirt-java-0.1.0 can be fetched from ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/java/ I will submit this for Fedora inclusion too, feedback and patches very welcome. many thanks to Tóth, he's the one who did all the code, and he reviewed my first version :-) enjoy !

[libvirt] [PATCH] Eliminate noise from python type wrappers
by Ryan Scott 25 Jun '08

25 Jun '08

Hi, We recently had a virt-install build failure when someone tried building on a system with debug libvirt packages installed. It was caused by extra noise from commands that load libvirt. For example: $ python ./setup.py --version libvirt_virConnectPtrWrap: node = 8938fb8 0.300.3 I've seen (internal) complaints about this, and I think the irritation from the noise outweighs the usefulness of these statements, so they should be removed.

[libvirt] PATCH: 0/2: port QEMU driver to new XML apis
by Daniel P. Berrange 24 Jun '08

24 Jun '08

The next two patches port the QEMU driver over to the new APIs. This is a fairly straightforward exercise since the new APIs are derived from the currenty QEMU driver impl. Aside from a mass deletion of code the rest is mostly just renaming function calls / objects. The test suite passes and I can start VMs, so this is reasonably ready to commit (depends on the earlier patches of course) Daniel -- |: Red Hat, Engineering, London -o- http://people.redhat.com/berrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org -o- http://ovirt.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: GnuPG: 7D3B9505 -o- F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 :|

[libvirt] PATCH: Helper for enumerations
by Daniel P. Berrange 24 Jun '08

24 Jun '08

There are quite a few places in our code where we have to convert from a string to an int enumeration, and vica-verca. This is tedious code to write, and I'm about to introduce a tonne more enumerations in the new generic domain XML parser / generator. So I reckon its time for some helper APIs The current pattern is that we have an enumeration enum virStoragePoolDisk { VIR_STORAGE_POOL_DISK_DOS, VIR_STORAGE_POOL_DISK_DVH, VIR_STORAGE_POOL_DISK_GPT, VIR_STORAGE_POOL_DISK_MAC, VIR_STORAGE_POOL_DISK_BSD, VIR_STORAGE_POOL_DISK_PC98, VIR_STORAGE_POOL_DISK_SUN, }; And then 2 helpers static int virStorageBackendDiskPoolFormatFromString(const char *format) { if (STREQ(format, "dos")) return VIR_STORAGE_POOL_DISK_DOS; if (STREQ(format, "dvh")) return VIR_STORAGE_POOL_DISK_DVH; if (STREQ(format, "gpt")) return VIR_STORAGE_POOL_DISK_GPT; if (STREQ(format, "mac")) return VIR_STORAGE_POOL_DISK_MAC; if (STREQ(format, "bsd")) return VIR_STORAGE_POOL_DISK_BSD; if (STREQ(format, "pc98")) return VIR_STORAGE_POOL_DISK_PC98; if (STREQ(format, "sun")) return VIR_STORAGE_POOL_DISK_SUN; return -1; } static const char * virStorageBackendDiskPoolFormatToString(int format) { switch (format) { case VIR_STORAGE_POOL_DISK_DOS: return "dos"; case VIR_STORAGE_POOL_DISK_DVH: return "dvh"; case VIR_STORAGE_POOL_DISK_GPT: return "gpt"; case VIR_STORAGE_POOL_DISK_MAC: return "mac"; case VIR_STORAGE_POOL_DISK_BSD: return "bsd"; case VIR_STORAGE_POOL_DISK_PC98: return "pc98"; case VIR_STORAGE_POOL_DISK_SUN: return "sun"; } return NULL; } This patch adds 2 generic ToString and FromString methods to the util.c module, which take a list of strings, in the same order as the enum int virEnumFromString(const char *const*types, int ntypes, const char *type); const char *virEnumToString(const char *const*types, int ntypes, int type); Passing around the list of strings (the "char *const*types" arg) is a little tedious, so there are 2 macros to simplify this by defining wrappers around the virEnumXXX functions VIR_ENUM_DECL(name) will define the function prototypes, and should be used in a header file, while VIR_ENUM_IMPL(name, maxvals, types) will define the implementation, type checked at compile time So, going back to the earlier example - we need to adapt the enum to add a sentinal at the end enum virStoragePoolDisk { VIR_STORAGE_POOL_DISK_DOS, VIR_STORAGE_POOL_DISK_DVH, VIR_STORAGE_POOL_DISK_GPT, VIR_STORAGE_POOL_DISK_MAC, VIR_STORAGE_POOL_DISK_BSD, VIR_STORAGE_POOL_DISK_PC98, VIR_STORAGE_POOL_DISK_SUN, VIR_STORAGE_POOL_DISK_LAST }; Then, we can provide the ToString and FromString methods with just VIR_ENUM_DECL(virStoragePoolDisk) VIR_ENUM_IMPL(virStoragePoolDisk, VIR_STORAGE_POOL_DISK_LAST, "dos", "dvh", "gpt", "mac", "bsd", "pc98", "sun") This has compile time checking to ensure there are enough strings for every enumeration value.

[libvirt] [PATCH 0 of 3] LXC network interface support
by Dan Smith 23 Jun '08

23 Jun '08

This set is actually authored by Dave Leskovec. He is moving on to some other work and I will be working this into the tree. I have made a few changes to this, mostly to allow this code to compile out if the proper kernel and userspace support is not present. I am submitting it as an RFC because the required kernel patches are not yet upstream (even in -mm) and there are some missing userspace patches to iproute2 as well. I expect there to be quite a few comments and suggestions about the veth.c patch, so I wanted to go ahead and get that started while we wait for upstream to catch up. Comments appreciated!
