Hello I have manually compiled a customized qemu (1.4.0) which runs fine on its own (create VM etc) but I want to access this qemu through libvirt (virt-manager, virsh etc).
But the libvirt driver only looks into "/usr/bin" for qemu binaries, how can I tell libvirt to connect to my qemu which is placed at "/home/user/qemu" directory.
Libvirt only looks into precompiled locations (default to /usr/bin) if you fail to specify an explicit location; but you can force libvirt to use your version of qemu by specifying the <emulator> element under <devices> in your domain XML.
Actually we will search through $PATH for QEMU binaries, so if you install somewhere unusual, just make sure libvirtd sees an updated $PATH env variable including the new location.
