Re: [libvirt] Building on Solaris 11 Express

The patch seems to achieve the desired effect. libvirtd starts up as the user xvm. (That said, with Oracle dropping the xvm feature, I'm not sure if this is better than just running as root.) VirtualBox (and VBoxSVC) were crashing with "Memory fault", apparently because they couldn't create /.VirtualBox (xvm's ~ is /). Once I created that directory (and chown'ed/chgrp'ed it to xvm), I could start VBoxSVC. From there, virsh connects. It seems to intermittently have problems; I'm trying to reproduce that issue before I can go much further. For this testing, I thought it'd be good to use a git checkout, as we had previously discussed. I was hung up for a while because the gnulib git repository was down. Now it seems to be back up, so I'm trying again. Unfortunately, I'm having a number of build issues: 1) I only have gettext 0.16, so I made these changes: diff --git a/bootstrap.conf b/bootstrap.conf index 769e57c..5427c17 100644 --- a/bootstrap.conf +++ b/bootstrap.conf @@ -164,7 +164,7 @@ buildreq="\ autoconf 2.59 automake 1.9.6 autopoint - -gettext 0.17 +gettext 0.16 git 1.5.5 gzip - libtool - diff --git a/configure.ac b/configure.ac index 25669cf..c6346cc 100644 --- a/configure.ac +++ b/configure.ac @@ -2062,7 +2062,7 @@ dnl Enable building libvirtd?

Solaris has those executables named with a version number. I'm not experienced enough with Solaris to know if there's any standard way via the package manger to make one available as just plain automake (similar to Debian's alternatives system). So I just did this: ACLOCAL=aclocal-1.9 AUTOMAKE=automake-1.9 ./autogen.sh 3) The bootstrap script previously (when I had manually copied in a gnulib git checkout from a month-or-so-old libvirt checkout on Linux) was complaining that rpcgen didn't exist. I've never heard of that program, but I apparently have something by that name installed: # rpcgen rpcgen (1.1) usage: rpcgen infile rpcgen [-abCLNTMA] [-Dname[=value]] [-i size] [-I [-K seconds]] [-Y path] infile rpcgen [-c | -h | -l | -m | -t | -Sc | -Ss | -Sm] [-o outfile] [infile] rpcgen [-s nettype]* [-o outfile] [infile] rpcgen [-n netid]* [-o outfile] [infile] options: -a generate all files, including samples -A generate code to enable automatic MT mode -b backward compatibility mode (generates code for SunOS 4.X) -c generate XDR routines -C ANSI C mode -Dname[=value] define a symbol (same as #define) -h generate header file -i size size at which to start generating inline code -I generate code for inetd support in server (for SunOS 4.X) -K seconds server exits after K seconds of inactivity -l generate client side stubs -L server errors will be printed to syslog -m generate server side stubs -M generate MT-safe code -n netid generate server code that supports named netid -N supports multiple arguments and call-by-value -o outfile name of the output file -s nettype generate server code that supports named nettype -Sc generate sample client code that uses remote procedures -Ss generate sample server code that defines remote procedures -Sm generate makefile template -t generate RPC dispatch table -T generate code to support RPC dispatch tables -v print version information and exit -Y path path where cpp is found 4) The bootstrap script (well, really autopoint) failed because cvs is not installed: ./bootstrap: cp ._bootmp/gnulib/lib/glthread/threadlib.c gnulib/lib/glthread/threadlib.c # with edits ./bootstrap: (cd ._bootmp2; autopoint) ... autopoint: *** cvs program not found autopoint: *** Stop.
