libvirt 0.9.11 does not build under LFS 7.1 64bit

[Wayne Blaszczyk]

First, there is a missing required dependency, libgcrypt, otherwise make will fail.

Secondly, The following error occurs during configure:
checking for xdrmem_create in -lportablexdr... no
checking for library containing xdrmem_create... no
configure: error: Cannot find a XDR library

If libtirpc is installed, then the above error goes away but the following error occurs during make:

./remote/remote_protocol.c: In function 'xdr_remote_vcpu_info':
./remote/remote_protocol.c:257:10: warning: implicit declaration of function 'xdr_u_int64_t' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]

Hello and thanks for the report. I still use glibc 2.13 so I don't face any of the RPC issues. But I've seen somewhere that they were using

XDRCFLAGS="-I/usr/include/tirpc" ./configure ...

Would you mind trying that one? Also, I've put libgcrypt as required dependency, must have missed that one.

[Armin K]

Sorry, that was from some distro's build script. Use CPPFLAGS instead of XDRCFLAGS ...

[Wayne Blaszczyk]

I've tried CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/tirpc" ./configure... and that has fixed the make error, but now, during make install, the following error occurs:

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/libtirpc.a(libtirpc_la-xdr.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

Have you tried CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/tirpc -fPIC" or CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/tirpc" CFLAGS="-fPIC -O2 -g" (I'm just guessing about the -O2 -g, use whatever are the default CFLAGS)

[Wayne Blaszczyk]

Tried both. Neither worked.

[DJ Lucas]

Rebuild tirpc with -fPIC?

[Wayne Blaszczyk]

That worked!

libvirt built with CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/tirpc"

libtirpc buit with CFLAGS="-fPIC"

Thanks to all.

One more thing, curl is not a required dependency, libvirt builds fine without it.

[Armin K]

I have modified libvirt and libtirpc and added necesary CFLAGS and CPPFLAGS. Thank you for reporting the issue. Fixed in r10007
