I think it is easy to set up a test system on a single VM,
but I do it all the time. I souped up the build details in
Documentation/filesystems/orangefs.rst not too long
ago, I hope it is useful.

Your VM would need to be a "developer" VM,
with all the autotools stuff and such if you build
from source. I also worked on the configure stuff
so that you would learn about any packages you
lack at configure time, I hope that is also still good.

I read your message about trying again with the
"Four fixes for ITER_XARRAY" patch, I'll report
on how that goes...
