Hi, I've been trying to get libvirt (client) to cleanly/easily compile on BSD-based systems (in this case OS X). "./configure" runs fine but the "make" caused an error with `sed` since BSD sed was reporting some sort of regex error. I realized that the "SED" variable was populated with "gsed" which worked properly. This made the make continue (failed again later, will address that when I can). This is my first contribution to a C-based project and I don't have much experience with autotools other than using them as a consumer. Let me know if anything can be improved. Thank you, Mitchell

* src/Makefile.am (libvirt.def, libvirt_qemu.def): '\}' and '\t' are not required by POSIX. Use '}' and literal tab instead. (install-data-local): Avoid sed -i. * tests/read-bufsiz: Likewise. Reported by Mitchell Hashimoto. --- This should work for you, but I'd appreciate positive feedback from an actual build on OS X. I used cp/rm rather than mv when replacing sed -i, so as to preserve permissions on the just-installed file (in case creation of the temporary file via> gets different permissions due to umask). There was another use of sed -i in libvirt.spec.in, but as that is specific to rpm building, where we know GNU sed will be in use, I didn't see the point in changing it. src/Makefile.am | 12 ++++++++---- tests/read-bufsiz | 6 +++--- 2 files changed, 11 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/Makefile.am b/src/Makefile.am index b321657..9bc4287 100644 --- a/src/Makefile.am +++ b/src/Makefile.am @@ -1029,14 +1029,14 @@ libvirt.syms: libvirt_public.syms $(USED_SYM_FILES) libvirt.def: libvirt.syms $(AM_V_GEN)rm -f -- $@-tmp $@ ; \ printf 'EXPORTS\n'> $@-tmp&& \ - sed -e '/^$$/d; /#/d; /:/d; /\}/d; /\*/d; /LIBVIRT_/d; s/[ \t]*\(.*\)\;/ \1/g' $^>> $@-tmp&& \ + sed -e '/^$$/d; /#/d; /:/d; /}/d; /\*/d; /LIBVIRT_/d; s/[ ]*\(.*\)\;/ \1/g' $^>> $@-tmp&& \ chmod a-w $@-tmp&& \ mv $@-tmp libvirt.def libvirt_qemu.def: $(srcdir)/libvirt_qemu.syms $(AM_V_GEN)rm -f -- $@-tmp $@ ; \ printf 'EXPORTS\n'> $@-tmp&& \ - sed -e '/^$$/d; /#/d; /:/d; /\}/d; /\*/d; /LIBVIRT_/d; s/[ \t]*\(.*\)\;/ \1/g' $^>> $@-tmp&& \ + sed -e '/^$$/d; /#/d; /:/d; /}/d; /\*/d; /LIBVIRT_/d; s/[ ]*\(.*\)\;/ \1/g' $^>> $@-tmp&& \ chmod a-w $@-tmp&& \ mv $@-tmp libvirt_qemu.def @@ -1177,8 +1177,12 @@ if WITH_NETWORK $(INSTALL_DATA) $(srcdir)/network/default.xml \ $(DESTDIR)$(sysconfdir)/libvirt/qemu/networks/default.xml test -z "$(UUID)" || \ - sed -i -e "s,</name>,</name>\n<uuid>$(UUID)</uuid>," \ - $(DESTDIR)$(sysconfdir)/libvirt/qemu/networks/default.xml + { sed -e "s,</name>,</name>\n<uuid>$(UUID)</uuid>," \ + $(DESTDIR)$(sysconfdir)/libvirt/qemu/networks/default.xml> \ + $(DESTDIR)$(sysconfdir)/libvirt/qemu/networks/default.xml.t&& \ + cp $(DESTDIR)$(sysconfdir)/libvirt/qemu/networks/default.xml.t \ + $(DESTDIR)$(sysconfdir)/libvirt/qemu/networks/default.xml&& \ + rm $(DESTDIR)$(sysconfdir)/libvirt/qemu/networks/default.xml.t; } test -e $(DESTDIR)$(sysconfdir)/libvirt/qemu/networks/autostart/default.xml || \ ln -s ../default.xml \ $(DESTDIR)$(sysconfdir)/libvirt/qemu/networks/autostart/default.xml diff --git a/tests/read-bufsiz b/tests/read-bufsiz index f0f03b9..2a91bcf 100755 --- a/tests/read-bufsiz +++ b/tests/read-bufsiz @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ #!/bin/sh # ensure that reading a file larger than BUFSIZ works -# Copyright (C) 2008 Red Hat, Inc. +# Copyright (C) 2008, 2010 Red Hat, Inc. # This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify # it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by @@ -30,10 +30,10 @@ fi fail=0 # Output a valid definition, to be used as input. -$abs_top_builddir/tools/virsh -c test:///default dumpxml 1> xml || fail=1 +$abs_top_builddir/tools/virsh -c test:///default dumpxml 1> xml.t || fail=1 # Change the VM name -sed -i -e "s|<name>test</name>|<name>newtest</name>|g" xml +sed -e "s|<name>test</name>|<name>newtest</name>|g" xml.t> xml for i in before after; do # The largest BUFSIZ I've seen is 128K.
