[libvirt] libvirt compliation from git source fails with "gnulib/tests/Makefile.in' not found" error
Hi, I am compiling the libvirt from source and I am getting the following error: Don't forget to - "include gnulib.mk" from within "gnulib/lib/Makefile.am", - "include gnulib.mk" from within "gnulib/tests/Makefile.am", - mention "-I gnulib/m4" in ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS in Makefile.am, - mention "gnulib/m4/gnulib-cache.m4" in EXTRA_DIST in Makefile.am, - invoke gl_EARLY in ./configure.ac, right after AC_PROG_CC, - invoke gl_INIT in ./configure.ac. running: AUTOPOINT=true LIBTOOLIZE=true autoreconf --verbose --install --force -I gnulib/m4 --no-recursive autoreconf: Entering directory `.' autoreconf: running: true --force autoreconf: running: aclocal -I m4 --force -I m4 -I gnulib/m4 autoreconf: configure.ac: tracing autoreconf: running: true --copy --force autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoconf --include=gnulib/m4 --force autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoheader --include=gnulib/m4 --force autoreconf: running: automake --add-missing --copy --force-missing configure.ac:2424: required file `gnulib/lib/Makefile.in' not found configure.ac:2424: required file `gnulib/tests/Makefile.in' not found autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1 Libvirtd (libvirt) 1.0.5 we didn't any isssues.

We need more details - are you trying to compile libvirt.git (if so, what commit are you on), or a tarball (and if so, where did you download the tarball from)? What platform are you on? What versions of automake and autoconf do you have installed? Unless I can reproduce the failure, I can't do much to help debug it.
autoreconf: running: automake --add-missing --copy --force-missing configure.ac:2424: required file `gnulib/lib/Makefile.in' not found configure.ac:2424: required file `gnulib/tests/Makefile.in' not found
Since gnulib/lib/Makefile.am exists, I have to wonder if this might be a problem with your version of automake, but without knowing your version of automake, I can't be positive. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org

Fedora ( x86_64) kernel version : 3.10.0-rc5+
That's not an actual Fedora release; I was asking more along the lines of "Fedora 18" or "Fedora 19". Your automake version matched Fedora 18; but your kernel version was more like Fedora 19; you're definitely running a mixed-mode system. But thanks to some chatting on IRC, I think I understand the problem well enough that I was still able to write my patch on a stock F18 machine. It looks like automake is failing because autogen.sh was not completely run; and this in turn is due to bugs in the --no-git option. I think I fixed the --no-git bugs with this patch pending review: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-July/msg00232.html Also, be sure that when you use --no-git that your copy of GNULIB_SRCDIR matches the exact commit of gnulib.git that is recorded in libvirt.git. As of today's commits, it is the latest gnulib.git commit; but this is not always the case, and there have been historical instances where using the latest gnulib is not compatible with latest libvirt.git without further tweaks to libvirt (which is why we only do .gnulib submodule updates to libvirt when we are not in release freeze). -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
