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 Regards, Daniel -- |: http://berrange.com -o- http://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org :| |: http://entangle-photo.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :|
