hi.
i am trying to build 0.8.6 but this fails due to the lack of macvtap enabled in my kernel. i won't use it, so i don't care, but even if i disable it, build won't work. apparently, thats a known bug, according to https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2010-December/msg00034.html
Yes, and it's fixed in git.
so now i am trying to build a snapshot
but it also fails during "make rpm", specifically during make check in "tests". commandtest.c fails and I cannot find out why. here's the log: http://pastebin.com/rVPNDpS6
make rpm builds from a tarball generated by make dist. /usr/src/packages/BUILD/libvirt-0.8.6/tests/commanddata/test16.log is missing in the tarball because the whole commanddata directory is not marked for distribution in tests/Makefile.am. This is easy to fix, but right now I've no time to fix it myself, so somebody else might post a patch to fix this before me :) Matthias
