Xen project Mailing List

Juergen,

Can we see your actual `./configure *` line? Were you able to build the included qemu-xen and stubdom/pvgrub?

By the way, here is the Debian way to configure the Xen in repo:
(from https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-xen/xen.git/tree/debian/rules.real)
$(STAMPS_DIR)/setup-utils_$(ARCH):
    @rm -rf $(DIR)
    mkdir -p $(DIR)
    cp -al $(SOURCE_FILES) $(DIR)
    cp --remove-destination /usr/share/misc/config.guess /usr/share/misc/config.sub $(DIR)
    cd $(DIR); \
        WGET=/bin/false \
        ./configure \
            --disable-docs --disable-stubdom --disable-xen \
            --prefix=/usr \
            --includedir=/usr/include \
            --libdir=/usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH) \
            --mandir=/usr/share/man \
            --infodir=/usr/share/info \
            --sysconfdir=/etc \
            --localstatedir=/var \
            --disable-blktap1 \
            --disable-blktap2 \
            --disable-ocamltools \
            --disable-qemu-traditional --disable-rombios \
            --with-system-qemu=/usr/bin/qemu-system-i386 \
            --with-system-seabios=/usr/share/seabios/bios-256k.bin
    @$(stamp)

See how they disable and outsource so many parts of upstream Xen?

thanks,

PryMar56

Juergen, please be courteous to fellow users. :-)

There could be many reasons why Pry didn't send out a report. I think we
should be grateful that he took the time to response to the issue you
discovered.

I bet to differ.

Those flags exist for a reason -- so that users can configure Xen as
they see fit.

It is quite often downstream packagers need to tune the paths to fit
into the file system hierarchy of his or her distro.

There are a bunch of systemd service files under
tools/hotplug/Linux/systemd. I think you should build and install all of
them. The logic in those scripts should sort out all the dependencies
all by themselves.
