I'm looking at (what I hope is the correct) configuration file for the build:
https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/libvirt.rb
Yep, that's the right one.
and see '--without-qemu' being passed - what is the reason for that ? It looks like you're building libvirtd, so enabling QEMU thereafter should not have any significantly difficulties. Certainly we expect the QEMU driver code to be platform agnostic - all the Linux specific bits are believed to be wrapped in conditionals.
IOW if you see build errors with QEMU on OS-X could you tell us what they are.
From memory (it's been a few years!), it was because the QEMU that builds in Homebrew wouldn't talk to Libvirt anyway. So it was useless to add the support in.
That being said, I do remember someone mentioning they should probably worth together ok these days. But, I'm not sure if anyone's checked and/or really tried to make it work.
Well, at least it builds the qemu driver successfully, maybe later I'll check if it could actually run a VM.
We'd really want to see the QEMU driver enabled
Yep, it sounds like it'd be a useful combination. As would xhyve, if that could somehow use the bhyve support (I have no idea). :)
I think it won't work as is, but quite probably a fair amount of the bhyve code could be reused (probably with some refactoring). Roman Bogorodskiy
