I did the configure step with the following parameters including -- disable-bridge-params as suggested by Mark:
./configure --disable-shared --disable-bridge-params --with-test=no --with-qemu=no
But make failed again. This time in libvirt/test directory. Is this mandatory for using libvirt?

I already tried to disable the testing feature with --with-test=no. But I suppose that this is not the right way.
The --with-test disables the 'test' hypervisor driver, not the test suite. The problem you see is because you used '--disable-shared' in the configure script. We aren't currently able to build the test suite if shared libraries are disabled.
Wow. That worked. Libvirt is now compiled. Thanks a lot for your help guys. Cheers, Jan
