Re: [libvirt-users] compilation error

If you only need the ESX part you can disable most of the parts that may have problems due to the old kernel version. Running configure like Justin suggested: ./configure --with-esx --without-libvirtd --without-network This will disable libvirtd, the network driver and probably other things. configure will disable other things like macvtap automatically when it doesn't detect support for them in your system. The compile error you see can easily by avoided by this patch: diff --git a/src/util/interface.c b/src/util/interface.c index fe58823..1463574 100644 --- a/src/util/interface.c +++ b/src/util/interface.c @@ -348,7 +348,7 @@ ifaceGetIndex(bool reportError, #endif /* __linux__ */ -#ifdef __linux__ +#if 0 int ifaceGetVlanID(const char *vlanifname, int *vlanid) { struct vlan_ioctl_args vlanargs = { As ifaceGetVlanID is only used in macvtap specific code that'll probably be disabled anyway because of the kernel version.
