I'm trying to compile libvirt 0.6.0 on Gentoo, but keep encountering the following error:
network_driver.c:72: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before 'brControl' ... make: *** [all] Error 2
Every error following the first one refers to networkConfigDir, networkAutostartDir, or logDir, all listed after brControl in the definition of network_driver.
What looks to me like the same error has been reported against 0.5.1 here (I haven't tried it myself): http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=254568
My configuration options: ./configure --prefix=/usr --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --with-avahi --without-storage-iscsi --without-storage-lvm --without-lxc --with-hal --without-openvz --without-storage-disk --without-sasl --without-selinux --without-uml --without-xen --without-qemu --without-devkit --without-polkit --with-remote --disable-iptables-lokkit --localstatedir=/var --with-remote-pid-file=/var/run/libvirtd.pid --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu
If other info would help resolve this I'd be happy to try and provide it.
You're compiling with neither LXC nor QEMU, and that turns off WITH_BRIDGE, yet parts of network_driver.c assume bridge-related functions are defined. If really you want neither LXC nor QEMU, then maybe you also want --without-network? I've confirmed that when configured with that additional option it does build. If being able to build --without-lxc --without-qemu --with-network is important, (even if just to forestall bug reports like this one ;-) then we'll make it work.
