Re: [libvirt] OSX Homebrew support note ;)

Hi all,
Compiling Libvirt directly from latest git master head is now supported on
OSX Homebrew. It's as simple as:
$ brew install --HEAD libvirt
...
$ virsh -v
3.0.0
This should make development of Libvirt and related virtualisation things
much easier on OSX. :)
The credit for this goes to Roman Bogorodskiy and Homebrew developer
"ilovezfs" (CC-d), for adding a functional rpcgen to Homebrew so we can
generate the needed RPC bindings during the build (previously missing).
I'm looking at (what I hope is the correct) configuration file for the
build:
https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/libvirt.rb
and see '--without-qemu' being passed - what is the reason for that ? It
looks like you're building libvirtd, so enabling QEMU thereafter should
not have any significantly difficulties. Certainly we expect the QEMU
driver code to be platform agnostic - all the Linux specific bits are
believed to be wrapped in conditionals.
IOW if you see build errors with QEMU on OS-X could you tell us what they
are. We'd really want to see the QEMU driver enabled

Daniel
