[libvirt] Patch is faulty

Some netcat implementations does not support unix domain sockets (-U). Distros that ship these implementations often also ships socat, that do support this. This is a reworked patch based on the openSUSE libvirt package. The original patch may be found in this source rpm: http://download.opensuse.org/source/distribution/11.1/repo/oss/suse/src/l... * configure.in: Check for --with-socat and set USE_SOCAT in config.h * src/remote_internal.c: Honour USE_SOCAT by selecting between netcat/nc and socat at compile time. --- configure.in | 7 +++++++ src/remote_internal.c | 13 +++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 20 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/configure.in b/configure.in index b905b23..732ef68 100644 --- a/configure.in +++ b/configure.in @@ -153,6 +153,13 @@ if test -n "$MODPROBE"; then [Location or name of the modprobe program]) fi +dnl Check if socat should be used instead of netcat +AC_ARG_WITH([socat], +[ --with-socat use socat instead of netcat (off)]) +if test "$with_socat" = "yes" ; then + AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED([USE_SOCAT], 1, [whether socat should be used instead of netcat]) +fi + dnl Specific dir for HTML output ?
