[libvirt] libvirt: python bindings
Hi, I'm writing XenServer APIs for libvirt and trying to test it on virt-Manager. I need to build the libvirt python bindings for that. I tried this for libvirt. ./configure -with-xenapi -with-python make make install I suppose this is supposed to build a .libs directory with libvirtmod.so in the ~/libvirt/python/ But I don't seem to have this at all after build. It was a clean build with no errors. I need libvirtmod.so to link with virt-manager. I'm using libvirt version 0.7.4 Can anyone help me with this. Am I missing something here Thanks in Advance, -SP

You need to use -- not just - with arguments, eg --with-python
make make install

Also make sure you have python-devel RPM installed (or equivalent) and have not disabled shared libraries when running configure.

When python-dev is not installed, configure currently (in version 0.7.5) disables the bindings: configure: Could not find python2.5/Python.h, disabling bindings and final output says Python: no When --with-python is provided, shouldn't we error out instead of disabling bindings more or less silently? -- Pierre Riteau -- PhD student, Myriads team, IRISA, Rennes, France http://perso.univ-rennes1.fr/pierre.riteau/

Yes, that sounds like the desired behavior. Thanks, Cole
