Q: What actually is the min required Xen ? Is xen 4.0.1 in fact sufficient ? If so I'll change this to s/16/15/
Xen 4.0.x contains some "tech preview" libxenlight bits, but it is buggy and missing quite a bit of functionality. Xen 4.1.0 is the first release with a usable libxenlight IMO. Also, the API changed quite a bit between Xen 4.0 and 4.1 and I have not attempted to make the libxl driver work with the preview libxenlight.
Can we enhance the configure test (when there is no explicit --with-libxl) to reject the 4.0.x library, by requiring linking with a function that only exists in 4.1? -- Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
