Re: [libvirt] Libvirt : Bootstrap fails for local gnulib

While ./bootstrap is part of the process for building a git checkout, it is not the entire process, and we document that you should be using ./autogen.sh. I don't have much experience with using --no-git, but I'd like to fix the problem if I can reproduce it. The problem may lie in upstream gnulib's bootstrap script; if so, the problem won't be fixed until our next gnulib submodule update, which will be after 1.1.0 is released. As for a workaround - if you don't have git access on your devel machine, then I suggest that you get another machine that DOES have git access, and use that machine to get sources and build tarballs, then copy tarballs to the machine where you are trying to run tests. That is, your setup of trying to develop code on a machine that can't access outside a firewall is unusual, so it may require more effort on your part to get working. Also, how strict is your firewall? Is it a case where you can access upstream via http:// but not git://? If so, it is possible to modify your ~/.gitconfig to tell git to rewrite git URIs to pull from locations that are accessible through your firewall; but again, this may be something where you have to do a bit of research yourself. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
