Hi guys,

Just tried "make rpm" with git head, on RHEL 6.x.

It gave the following failure:

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jc/git_repos/libvirt' make[1]: Entering directory `/home/jc/git_repos/libvirt' { test ! -d "libvirt-0.9.6" || { find "libvirt-0.9.6" -type d ! -perm -200 -exec chmod u+w {} ';' && rm -fr "libvirt-0.9.6"; }; } test -d "libvirt-0.9.6" || mkdir "libvirt-0.9.6" cp: cannot stat `./NEWS': No such file or directory

I do not know why NEWS disappears.

...

make[1]: *** [distdir] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jc/git_repos/libvirt' make: *** [rpm] Error 2

Anyone want to fix it prior to 0.9.7? :)

As additional info, after doing a "touch NEWS" just to get it past this point, it then fails with:

make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/jc/git_repos/libvirt/include' (cd src && make top_distdir=../libvirt-0.9.6 distdir=../libvirt-0.9.6/src \ am__remove_distdir=: am__skip_length_check=: am__skip_mode_fix=: distdir) make[2]: Entering directory `/home/jc/git_repos/libvirt/src' make[2]: *** No rule to make target `probes.h', needed by `distdir'. Stop. make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/jc/git_repos/libvirt/src' make[1]: *** [distdir] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jc/git_repos/libvirt' make: *** [rpm] Error 2

This is a newly setup RHEL 6.1 x64 VM, with the "Development Tools" yum package group installed, plus minimal -devel packages to let configure succeed.

I use RHEL6.1 x64 too. But I do not meet this problem. I think you do not install this package: systemtap-sdt-devel. Thanks Wen Congyang

Any ideas?

Found the problem with the NEWS file. It's because libxslt wasn't installed.

Should we be adding libxslt as a maintainer's prereq in bootstrap.conf? That is, I think bootstrap.conf should require all packages necessary to create a functional tarball from libvirt.git, even if those packages are _not_ required to successfully build an already-available tarball.

Still haven't found out the problem with probes.h though. Now looking at that again.

So that sounds like systemtap is another maintainer prereq. On 11/08/2011 04:44 AM, Daniel Veillard wrote:

That sounds like it will fix the problem, pretty much permanently (until further requirements happen). Definitely in favour of that. :)

It's not the problem. For me anyway. To clarify, systemtap-sdt-devel is already installed. Doing a brand new autogen.sh, then compiling normally with: make -j 3 Goes through to successful completion. All good. It's only "make rpm" which is having the problem: make[2]: Entering directory `/home/jc/git_repos/libvirt/src' make[2]: *** No rule to make target `probes.h', needed by `distdir'. Stop. make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/jc/git_repos/libvirt/src' make[1]: *** [distdir] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jc/git_repos/libvirt' make: *** [rpm] Error 2 So, it sounds like there's something rpm specific which needs kicking into shape. Attaching the full session log file, showing the autogen run, the normal make run, and the make rpm run. Hopefully it helps. :) <snip>

I find the following messages from autogen.sh's output: running CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/sh /bin/sh ./configure --with-dtrace=no --no-create --no-recursion checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c

You have disabled dtrace, so make -j 3 does not fail.

Please run ./configure again, and check whether dtrace is enabled.

Thanks, well spotted! :) Looks like I needed to run "make distclean" first, to get rid of old preferences. Things worked fine after that (both normal make, and make rpm). On another note, Eric, do you reckon it's possible to add the XHTML1 DTDs to maintainer requirements?
