Berrange" List-Id: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , To: Ronnie Sahlberg Cc: qemu-devel@nongnu.org I was investigating how to build latest QEMU with the iSCSI block driver enabled. I saw that configure wanted a libiscsi.so, so I installed that library from Fedora RPMs via the iscsi-initiator-utils package, but it still wouldn't build. After further investigation, I find that QEMU in fact wants a completely different, unlreated libiscsi.so library: https://github.com/sahlberg/libiscsi Obviously we have a problem here because we can't have two different libraries called libiscsi.so installed at the same time. Since iscsi-initiator-utils is a standard Linux distro package whose usage of libiscsi.so predates this github project, it seems that to resolve this it will be neccessary to rename the latter. eg perhaps libiscsi-client.so ? The followup question is where to find actual libiscsi releases to package up for OS distros ? It is not very desirable to just package GIT snapshots.
