Hi,
I am Sai Kiran. I am trying to build libvirt from source on my Linux From
Scratch(LFS) system. I have successfully installed libvirt and its
dependencies. When I start virt-manager, there is a prompt in GUI saying
that "libvirtd service is not installed". I also do not see any libvirtd
in my system. I would like to install the libvirtd service(build from
source). But I am not able to find the source code for it and also, I am
not sure about the build process for the daemon. Could you please help me
out here.
The libvirt daemon is integral part of the libvirt project so the
sources you used to build the library also contain the daemon sources.
In your instance it's most likely that you are missing a dependancy and
libvirtd was not auto-enabled. To force-enable it configure libvirt with
'-Ddriver_libvirtd=enabled'
which should report what you are missing. Since you are using LFS you
need to ensure that you have all deps yourself.
