Hi, Just posting this on the list too in case anyone else has experience
with the OCAML version of xenstored….

Hi Boris and Pasi,

I checked out the latest xen-testing from mercurial, and edited the
Config.mk file to have the OCAML version of xenstored built.

I checked and made sure that I have all the patches, and my xm info shows
4.0.1-rc1. After that I built using:

make xen; make tools; make stubdom

make install-xen;
make install-tools PYTHON_PREFIX_ARG=;

make install-stubdom



Unfortunately, it looks like even though the new OCAML version of
xenstored is built, it appears in /usr/bin/xenstored instead of the usual
“/usr/sbin/xenstored” and the default part of the xenstored to use is the
standard one (not the OCAML one)…

Just FYI: This is an Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit system.

root@ BlackBox:/# ll /usr/bin/xenstored   (new OCAML xenstored I just
built..)

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 925039 2010-05-25 10:15 /usr/bin/xenstored



root@ BlackBox:/# ll /usr/sbin/xenstored
(<< Standard C xenstored)

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 94728 2010-05-01 00:36 /usr/sbin/xenstored



root@ BlackBox:/# which xenstored

/usr/sbin/xenstored

root@BlackBox:/#



thanks

Yuvraj

make install-tools PYTHON_PREFIX_ARG=

Wrong syntax when install tools

BTW. Just a notice.

Just browse through http://xenbits.xen.org/xen-unstable.hd and
http://xenbits.xen.org/xen-4.0-testing.hg changelogs.

xen-4.0-testing.hg is currently at 4.0.1-rc1 stage.
