Hi developers, I met the following compilation issue when I 'git checkout v0.9.8-rc1' tag then run './configure && make': <snip> Copying file ._bootmp/gnulib/lib/netinet_in.in.h Copying file ._bootmp/gnulib/lib/nonblocking.c Copying file ._bootmp/gnulib/lib/nonblocking.h Copying file ._bootmp/gnulib/lib/open.c .gnulib/gnulib-tool: line 1475: patch: command not found .gnulib/gnulib-tool: *** patch file gnulib/local/lib/openpty.c.diff didn't apply cleanly .gnulib/gnulib-tool: *** Stop.

Has any advice about this?
Oh my - that means gnulib-tool itself has a dependency on patch(1), but only when there is a local gnulib diff. I'll get that fixed upstream in gnulib for inclusion post-0.9.8; but for now, the solution is for you to 'yum install patch'.
BTW, it's fine when I compiled latest GIT head.
Yep - commit 059d746d dropped a local gnulib diff, which drops the need for patch. -- Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
