[libvirt] KVM update

I am trying to update the kvm driver and userspace using existing kernel 1) using the tar ball from kvm at sourceforge I can do it , but only kvm -84 is there 2) if i try the latest version from the git tree I am able to do the first 2 steps (make --kerneldir=<exisitng kernel headers> , make sync ) . but the final make fails during compile of libkvm.c. results in the file below (dated 3/29/09) Am I missing something Should I recompile the whole kerenl as a 3) Was the live migrate fixed and tested in the latest kernel version thanks Zvi Dubitzky Virtualization and System Architecture Email:dubi@il.ibm.com IBM Haifa Research Laboratory Phone: +972-4-8296182 Haifa, 31905, ISRAEL

Please try latest git tree or tgz snapshot of the nightly build. The compilation should be fixed there.
3) Was the live migrate fixed and tested in the latest kernel version
No :(, this week we'll send patches to fix it.

We can't really help with issue compiling / building KVM on this list. I'd suggest trying the kvm development list which has many more KVM experts reading it... http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Lists%2C_IRC Regards, Daniel -- |: Red Hat, Engineering, London -o- http://people.redhat.com/berrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org -o- http://ovirt.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: GnuPG: 7D3B9505 -o- F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 :|
