Re: [Libvir] libvirt on OS X Leopard 10.5.1

Daniel P. Berrange wrote: This was essentially the problem that I hit when trying to port to Leopard also over the weekend. There is no hyper/64 bit support in the Mac-supplied rpcgen program. There are two alternatives I can think of: Probably the simplest is to compile the RPC bindings which are generated on Linux and supplied with libvirt in CVS and the tarball (ie. remote_protocol.[ch]). We need to supply only the xdr_quad type and a handful of 64 bit functions. I did the same thing for Windows but in that case built my own version of a mini-XDR library with some contributions from glibc. What we could do is bundle this mini-XDR library with libvirt itself (or perhaps persuade gnulib to take it -- Jim?). Another, less appealing, is to look at some of the modern XDR library replacements. Uli suggested one, but I've lost the link at the moment... Of course that involves porting those libraries to Mac and Windows, which may be a load of effort in itself.
