Currently libvirt favors /run instead of /var/run, but for local build run test, a prefix path is still needed to avoid interoperating with OS vendor provided binaries.
Could you please elaborate?
The OS vendor provided binaries generates sockets in /run/libvirt/, The local run './build/src/libvirtd -d' also generates sockets in /run/libvirt/. If prefix path is used, local run generates sockets in /root/libvirt_build/run/libvirt/, then there is no conflict.

If you need anything non-default you can always set it via -Drunstatedir= when configuring the project.
Yes, I have to specify it explicitly: meson build --prefix /root/libvirt_build -Drunstatedir=/root/libvirt_build/var/run In early days, I remember no need to use -Drunstatedir, 'meson build --prefix /root/libvirt_build' just work for me. Thanks Zhenzhong
