xen-4.0.1-rc3 fails to 'make tools'

xen-4.0.1-rc3 fails to 'make tools'

[Min Lee]

Hi, I just checked out current xen-testing.hg
but it failed to 'make tools' as below.
I have some troubles with Xen4's tools and ioemu building, actually I don't 
need since I'm working on mainly PV case. It would be great if I can 
totally skip ioemu part (I don't even do stubdom) in building xentools.
How can I?
Thanks
Min

You should be able to by setting CONFIG_IOEMU=n in Config.mk or
.config.

But there is something strange about your error message; if that build
didn't work perhaps I have made a mistake.  Is your tree a fresh one ?
Can you send me privately a copy of the whole build transcript ?

Thanks,
Ian.

Hi, Ian.
I made one change to Config.mk to use git:// instead of http:// as below.
Now I found that QEMU_REMOTE=git:// should be xen-4.0-testing.git, not 
unstable branch's.. as below.

QEMU_REMOTE=git://xenbits.xensource.com/qemu-xen-4.0-testing.git
# QEMU_REMOTE=http://xenbits.xensource.com/git-http/qemu-xen-4.0-testing.git

Now it's working.
I think this is just trivial fix.
thanks!

Ah, yes.

Good, thanks.
