Hi!

 

Thanks for the great software!  I use it constantly.  Thought I’d let you
know of a few issues I ran into.  #3 might be pretty easy to fix.

 

1.       No spaces allowed in the base directory path!   I guess some quotes
are missing on variables in the makefiles.  At least this is a “known
limitation.”


Spaces in paths are generally frowned upon.  Having said that, it is
probably something worth fixing if you can identify what is at fault.

> Agreed re: spaces, but with SAMBA continuing to come on string, it’s not
likely to go away!   I’ll look in to it and see what I can find.  I have a
suspicion that it may run throughout all the make process, and fixing it
might seriously destabilize thing!  Having said that, it might be worth a
note tucked away somewhere.  Perhaps I should follow that up with the
documentation folks.

 

2.       Configuration process does not check for openssl and x11, which I
believe are both required.


How are you building qemu upstream?  It is certainly not expected to be used
with x11 enabled.  If you are using the defaults as present in Xen 4.3.1
then we really do have some fixing to do.

> I’m have no idea how I wound up with x11 and qemu enabled.  Frankly, I’m a
bit of newbie on all the various options and such (hence the fooling around
with Xen.)  It “just happened” and I was trying to satisfy the dependencies.
I had a heck of a time with 4.3.0 but this has gone quite smoothly!

 

This is how I ran configure.  It compiled well and then hit a snag with
missing –lcrypt.  After patching that one, it later missed -lX11. 

 

./configure --prefix=/opt/xen-4.3.1 \

  APPEND_LIB='/opt/openssl/lib /usr/x11/lib' \

  APPEND_INCLUDES='/opt/openssl/include /usr/x11/include' 2>&1

 

I’ve attached a log of the “bad” configure and build (the configure ran
fine.)  I can also forward one of the “good” build.

 

3.       APPEND_LIB doesn’t carry through to all the makefiles.


This looks plausible.  If I remember correctly, the idea was always to fault
in APPEND_LIB to new bits of the build system as and when needed.  I suppose
you have come across this because of x11 and openssl ?

To submit patches, you should follow the instructions at
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Submitting_Xen_Patches - particularity "Signing off
a patch"



Ø    I read the notes – pretty straightforward and sensible.  

Ø    The third patch is not ready to go.  I just literally hacked in my
paths to make it work. APPEND_LDFLAGS is not getting passed down to it.  I
think a config file should 

Ø    be included from a top-level directory, but I’ve tried putting in
$(XEN_ROOT)/Config.mk and that didn’t help.  I would need to have some
guidance to figure this one 

Ø    out, hence submitting it as a “bug” not a “patch.”   Here is what it
looks like…

My openssl and x11 libraries are in non-standard locations (not in /usr/X11
or /usr/openssl).

I’ve provided three very trivial patches that I hope will be more
illustrative than my typing, but they are probably not production grade.  

I applied them prior to configuration and got a clean build.

 

Best regards,

 

David
