Issues with building libvirt v6.7.0 on RHEL8.3
Hello all, I hope this is being posted in the right mailing list. I am trying to build libvirt v6.7.0 on RHEL8.3 x86_64 server in order to later apply patches for VDPA support posted recently by Jonathon Jongsma <jjongsma@redhat.com>. I am following the instrutions in https://libvirt.org/contribute.html and running from the root directory: meson build --prefix=/usr I fail on the following error: meson.build:921:2: ERROR: Program 'rpcgen portable-rpcgen' not found I can't find any reference how to overcome this obstacle. Thanks for any help, Eli

The rpcgen program is provided by the rpcgen RPM. eg $ dnf install rpcgen Or more generally you can get almost everything libvirt needs by doing $ dnf builddep libvirt Regards, Daniel -- |: https://berrange.com -o- https://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange :| |: https://libvirt.org -o- https://fstop138.berrange.com :| |: https://entangle-photo.org -o- https://www.instagram.com/dberrange :|

This does not work in my RHEL 8.3 machine but it does work on FC32. After this I can successfuly run meson build --prefix=/usr Now after running ninja -C build I am getting some errors.

Looks to me like the build scripts look for rst2html5 in /usr/local/bin/. In anycase I did not put any package in /usr/local. In any case, I see different versions of rst2html5 in both /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin.

It's not the build script that looks under /usr/local/bin, it's the PATH variable which likely lists /usr/local/bin before /usr/bin. So, the only explanation I have for you as for how rst2html5 appeared under /usr/local/bin is that you or someone else installed it with pip as root. And the new docutils 0.16 looks like broke libvirt, so please stick with 0.15. Erik

It isn't docutils version that matters actually. It turns out there are 2 completely separate impls of rst2html5. One that is bundled with docutils on pip, which is the one libvirt works with. The other is in a rst2html5 package on pip. Basically need to remove the standalone rst2html5 pacakge that was installed from pip, or remove /usr/local/bin from $PATH so that it finds the from one docutils in /usr/bin Regards, Daniel -- |: https://berrange.com -o- https://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange :| |: https://libvirt.org -o- https://fstop138.berrange.com :| |: https://entangle-photo.org -o- https://www.instagram.com/dberrange :|

I am on 0.15 I tried all the recommendations given but I have htting issues all the time. If anyone has it working over any Linux distribution, I am will to try that. I have a server ready for these experiments. I just need to have the latest libvirt running on my system.

Well, if you look at our CI pipelines [1], you'll see that apart from Rawhide, everything is green, so clearly the builds work. What other issues do you see? Look at the Dockerfiles for the distros we have, install the packages you see in the list and try re-running meson. Erik [1] https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/pipelines/189610405

That won't be enough - the bad rst5html5 install in /usr/local/ needs to be eliminated, either by deleting it, or removing it from $PATH.
