Additionally, you can grab the binaries at
http://files.lostcreations.com/libvirt-0.6.3-bin.tar.gz and
http://files.lostcreations.com/libvirt-java-0.2.1-bin.tar.gz. Both
archives belong in /opt. They will decompress to libvirt-0.6.3 and
libvirt-java-0.2.1 respectively. The latter depends on the former's
location. Additionally, the libvirt binaries depend on gnutls and all of
its dependencies existing in /opt/local (the default MacPorts root
location).
Okidoc, I have mirrored those 2 at
ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/osx/
I guess the best way if you want to maintain OS X builds is to create
a specific subdir on the HTTP server (or even better FTP) that you
can populate with updates, and I can mirror them for example twice a
day. Just tell me where you end up creating the repository !

Actually one really expect a string, so I just defined it to
"modprobe" instead.

That's bizarre ...
WEXITSTATUS is defined in virsh.c:
#ifndef WEXITSTATUS
# define WEXITSTATUS(x) ((x) & 0xff)
#endif
it's used only once at the place you pointed out:
if (command_ret != WEXITSTATUS (0)) {
I think it was used for cygwin portability, but in that
case I would have expected
if (WEXITSTATUS(command_ret) != 0) {
Why did this break on OS-X ?

What about detecting MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET, because I assume it
will change from one environment to another, do this in configure.in and
export is in all Makefiles.am ? There must be a way to export the env
variable from the generated Makefiles surely...
