I strongly expect that the QEMU driver has a large number of Linux-isms in it. That said, I also expect all the Linux-isms to be solveable. So my recommendation is probably to enable it, then insert enough #ifdef's to get just the basics compiling. Then post the #ifdef details to the list so we can figure out an optimal way to handle the Linux-isms long term, and make suggestions on how to provide BSD alternative impls.
The kernel-headers check is an example of a Linux-ism we should look to solve.
I agree with removing the Linux-ism's, as it will only make it more portable. Do you have an example of header files that I should be looking for?
Here are two obvious candidates:
$ grep linux/ src/qemu/qemu*.c src/qemu/qemu_driver.c:# include <linux/kvm.h> src/qemu/qemu_driver.c:/* add definitions missing in older linux/kvm.h */ src/qemu/qemu_process.c:#include <linux/capability.h>
I just saw this, so please disregard any subsequent requests to find headers :) Here is the source for libkvm in FreeBSD: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/lib/libkvm/ Here are some ports for FreeBSD: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/emulators/kqemu-kmod/ http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/emulators/kqemu-kmod-devel/ http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/emulators/qemu/ http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/emulators/qemu-devel/ There are ports for qemu for FreeBSD, that compile modules (above), and I have used them and they work great. What information to use from those is probably going to be a good key to figuring out what needs to get it working for libvirt. -jgh -- Jason Helfman System Administrator experts-exchange.com http://www.experts-exchange.com/M_4830110.html E4AD 7CF1 1396 27F6 79DD 4342 5E92 AD66 8C8C FBA5
