build problem with libxl
Hi all since 5.9.0 configure doesnt find the libxl libs/headers... It works With 5.8.0, with 5.9.0 not... not even if I set --with-libxl What can be the problem? -- ------ Greetz

Do you have both the xen and the xen-devel packages installed? Also, what distribution are you using? In v5.9.0 we dropped some workaround for detecting it without pkg-config: https://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=commitdiff;h=18981877d2e20390a79d06... Jano

There was a bug in our code that ignored the error even if --with-libxl was requested, patch sent: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2020-February/msg00723.html However the mentioned xen-devel package seems to contain a xenlight.pc config file for pkg-config: https://cbs.centos.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=27840 so it should work.

Thanks for the report. Do you think it will be enough to simply remove the reference? libxenlight still depends on a blktap in the CentOS package, but it is a different one that don't have a .pc file. It is easier to remove the reference that to try to write a new .pc file :-). There is xen-4.12.2-2 package that should be available in the testing repo in a couple of hours.

It should be enough for dynamic linking. IIUC the dependencies in Requires.private only affect the pkg-config output when static linking is requested: https://people.freedesktop.org/~dbn/pkg-config-guide.html Jano
