[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] qemu-ga: build it even if !system

[Michael Tokarev]

Move qemu-ga build check out of if softmmu.. into if tools section.
We want to build qemu-ga for _guest_ even if system build isn't
done.  It is controlled separately using --enable-guest-agent.

Actually the more I think about it... Maybe it shouldn't depend
on --enable-tools either, but should be an independent option.
Because it isn't really a tool.

The initial issue is - hopefully - clear.  Some obscure guest
which however supports virtio - it needs a guest agent, even
if qemu-system does not build on it.  Example is s390 (not s390x).

This seems to me to be unnecessarily breaking things down
into very finely divided categories. I think putting it
in --enable-tools is fine.

I disagree. Think about building a Windows guest agent: You don't need
qemu-img (tools) on a Windows guest, and mjt is right that it shouldn't
be coupled to building any qemu-system-*.

However it looks as if the linux/bsd/solaris checks got lost in the patch?

It's not a tool, but indeed that's unnecessary too fine-grained.
I'm not sure which way is preferrable :)

No, the new place is already within linux/bsd/solaris conditional.
