In a clean build system (Ubuntu 14.04), the viridentitytest failed to compile. Even if all the SELINUX libraries and depedencies are installed. See the error message below: [...] CC viridentitytest.o CCLD viridentitytest /usr/bin/ld: viridentitytest.o: undefined reference to symbol 'security_disable' //lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libselinux.so.1: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [viridentitytest] Error 1 Simply adding the variable SELINUX_LIBS in viridentitytest rules of Makefile.am to include SELINUX libraries into viridentitytest solved that compilation issue. A conditional was added to consider when libvirt is using or not SELINUX.
