make fetch gives the same error
Okay, so here's what I did:
mkdir -p /usr/src/foobar/jason cd /usr/src/foobar/jason wget http://jgh.devio.us/files/libvirt.shar.txt sh libvirt.shar.txt
This outputs:
c - libvirt/ x - libvirt/Makefile x - libvirt/distinfo c - libvirt/files x - libvirt/files/patch-src__util__command.c x - libvirt/pkg-descr x - libvirt/pkg-plist
Then:
cd libvirt make fetch
This outputs:
===> Vulnerability check disabled, database not found ===> License accepted by the user => libvirt-0.9.1.tar.gz is not in /usr/src/foobar/jason/libvirt/distinfo. => Either /usr/src/foobar/jason/libvirt/distinfo is out of date, or => libvirt-0.9.1.tar.gz is spelled incorrectly. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/foobar/jason/libvirt.

Try and grab a fresh copy of the txt file again. I just re-uploaded it. If you get the same error, I would be suprised, but if you do run this:
I have ports installed under /usr/ports and even the new version fails with the same error as before:
make makesum make install
freebsd# make makesum ===> Vulnerability check disabled, database not found ===> License accepted by the user => libvirt-0.9.1.tar.gz doesn't seem to exist in /usr/ports/distfiles/. => Attempting to fetch from http://libvirt.org/sources/. libvirt-0.9.1.tar.gz 100% of 14 MB 258 kBps 00m00s

Now it start to configure and compile libgcrypt-1.4.5_1 but it's installed already due to gnutls and curl. In the end it fails:
... ===> Installing for libgcrypt-1.4.5_1 ===> Generating temporary packing list ===> Checking if security/libgcrypt already installed ===> libgcrypt-1.4.5_1 is already installed You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly. If you really wish to overwrite the old port of security/libgcrypt without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER" in your environment or the "make install" command line. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/security/libgcrypt. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/foobar/jason/libvirt.
When I try to resolve that as suggested and try to run make for libvirt again it fails with a version mismatch as it seems:
freebsd# make ===> libvirt-0.9.1 depends on file: /usr/local/bin/python2.6 - found ===> libvirt-0.9.1 depends on executable: gmake - found ===> libvirt-0.9.1 depends on shared library: curl.6 - found ===> libvirt-0.9.1 depends on shared library: gcrypt.17 - not found ===> Verifying install for gcrypt.17 in /usr/ports/security/libgcrypt ===> Returning to build of libvirt-0.9.1 Error: shared library "gcrypt.17" does not exist *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/foobar/jason/libvirt.
Maybe my ports tree is outdated? I installed this FreeBSD 8.1 virtual machine like half a year ago and didn't update it since then.
Matthias
Try altering the LIB_DEPENDS to this:
LIB_DEPENDS+= curl:${PORTSDIR}/ftp/curl \ gcrypt:${PORTSDIR}/security/libgcrypt \ xml2:${PORTSDIR}/textproc/libxml2 \ gnutls:${PORTSDIR}/security/gnutls
And rebuild. To test, you could run: make lib-depends (this will just check if you meet the library dependencies)
Compiles fine now.
Matthias
does a make install work, and does it function as a library?
Thanks!
Yes works. I can use virsh and connect to libvirtd on another box. The only problem I currently have is that virsh fails to enter interactive mode because sysconf(_SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX) fails, but we'll get that fixed. Matthias
