We want to configure and build libvirt library (0.1.4 for instance) from
tar.gz file on a IA32 platform with RHEL4U2 distro without installing and
build all Xen modules.
The steps are the following:
tar -xzvf libvirt-0.1.4.tar.gz
cd libvirt-0.1.4
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install
Unfortunatly, the "./configure --prefix=/usr " aborts with:
checking for library containing xs_read... no
configure: error: Xen store library not found
(see attached file)
corresponding to lines:
dnl search for the Xen store library
AC_SEARCH_LIBS(xs_read, [xenstore], [], [AC_MSG_ERROR([Xen store library
not found])])
in the configure file.
We have then transfered the libxenstore.so file into /usr/lib directory of
our machine, but the result is the same.
(NB: We had previously transferred all Xen public C header files into
/usr/include/xen directory)
1- Could you tell us what are the Xen files strictly necessary to achieve
this operation?
2- Is this operation also possible with a IA64 building environment on our
IA32 platform?
Regards.
