./hellolibvirt \
qemu+unix:///system?socket=/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock
will let you connect to the packaged daemon.
At the moment (still learning things), this works for me:
$ ./configure --prefix=/
$ make
I don't (!) do "make install" afterwards though, as that would
likely install over the top of system provided things.
Indeed it will overwrite things. If I'm building from source on a
machine that has packaged libvirt installed, I just use a prefix like
--prefix=/root/gitlibvirt/install
Then you can run a second copy of libvirtd if you decide you want to.
