Hi, Aside from what Daniel already said I want to add that, at least in my environments, 'make install' fails if I attempt the following: mkdir build cd build ../autogen.sh --prefix=$PWD make make install or mkdir build cd build ../autogen.sh --prefix=$PWD/.. make make install If I set up '--prefix' with a directory that's not a subdir of srcdir, it works. I am not sure if setting prefix=srcdir was a good idea in the first place, but it was working for me in the old build setup and now it doesn't work anymore. Thus if anyone is having the same issue, try using a prefix that's not a subdir of 'srcdir'. Thanks, DHB On 11/11/19 7:38 AM, Daniel P. Berrangé wrote:

A quick heads up to people who are pulling latest libvirt this morning.

Late on friday we pushed the series from Pavel which mandates that libvirt does a VPATH build. ie you can't build directly in the source tree, you must have a separate build directory.

IOW, instead of doing

./autogen.sh make

You must change to

mkdir build cd build ../autogen.sh make

"build" can be any directory you like, and doesn't have to be a subdir of the src checkout.

Most built files now live outside the srcdir - we only have autotools related artifacts in srcdir now, and so the gitignore file is much simpler.
