Attached is a small fix to get libvirt working w/ autobuild. Autobuild attempts to create and test the RPM, which lists the PolicyKit as one of the files to be installed, and thus if it is not installed, autobuild reports an error and fails. The was to get this file installed is to specify --with-polkit to ./autogen which I added to the autobuild.sh build script. (also the syntax check errors broke autobuild, but these have been fixed according to the latest email on the list). Knock on wood, after this libvirt should work w/ autobuild and will be built nightly, and I can finish getting oVirt working with it.
Hmm, this shouldn't impact the RPM spec at all. The 'autogen.shj' call in the autobuild.sh only applies to the non-RPM build. The RPM build is done via 'configure' in the spec file itself. I think there's something else going wrong you're hitting instead.
I'm not expert on autotools, but doesnt autogen.sh traditionally take the configure.ac and Makefile.am files and generate the configure script and make rules? While the build process isn't being held up at the configure or make stages, rather the rpmbuild stage, rpmbuild depends on the output of configure / make, which if --with-polkit is not enabled, will result in the PolityKit file not being included in the build and thus an error when rpm sees it listed under the files in the spec but not the actual file itself. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
autogen.sh creates a generic configure script. The args to configure only apply to that particular source dir's build - they don't get propagated through to the RPM spec This is the sequence: autogen.sh configure make make dist rpmbuild libvirt-*tar.gz -> configure -> make -> make install The args to the first call to 'configure', have no impact on the 2nd configure run which is done by rpmbuild Daniel -- |: Red Hat, Engineering, London -o- http://people.redhat.com/berrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org -o- http://ovirt.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: GnuPG: 7D3B9505 -o- F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 :|
