Getting libvirt-0.6.3 (client) to compile on OS X - Use MacPorts to install gnutls (and its several dependencies) - Set environment variables: export LDFLAGS="-L/opt/local/lib" export CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/local/include" export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.4 - Configure --prefix=/opt/libvirt/ --without-sasl --without-avahi --without-polkit --without-python --without-xen --without-qemu --without-lxc --without- openvz --without-libvirtd --without-uml - Apply patches src/pci.c #ifndef MODPROBE #define MODPROBE 0 #endif src/virsh.c:5665 if (command_ret != 0 /* WEXITSTATUS (0) */) { - Compile The MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET variable is very important, otherwise you will get symbol errors when linking. -- -a "Ideally, a code library must be immediately usable by naive developers, easily customized by more sophisticated developers, and readily extensible by experts." -- L.
