You don't.  Due to a really, really, badly designed build process, mercucial
and a few other tools you might not expect are required, and required at
recent versions.  Even if you have the repositories on your filesystem and
it doesn't need to actually download anything, it will barf if mercucial
isn't present.

Subject: [Xen-users] Frist try of Xen-3.2 on Slackware 12

Hi Xen'ist

New on virtualization and as usual some issues when I try to install 
Xen, from source packages, especially version 3.2

All prerequisites are done,

So, I unpacked both source packages : xen-3.2.0.tar.gz &
linux-2.6.18-xen-3.2.0.tar.gz inside "/usr/src" directory.

Move to "/usr/src"

root@xen-master:/usr/src# ll
total 64
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root     24 2008-03-09 12:46 linux ->
./linux-2.6.18-xen-3.2.0/
drwxr-xr-x 20 root root   4096 2008-03-09 13:19 linux-2.6.18-xen-3.2.0/
drwxr-xr-x 12 root root   4096 2008-03-09 13:47 xen-3.1.3/
drwxr-xr-x 10 root root   4096 2008-03-09 13:36 xen-3.2.0/

Change to directory "xen-3.2.0" and execute "make world" and got the
following error message:

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------

It seems that Mercurial tools must be installed and are also
prerequisites (?)

Whereas from version 3.1.3, things seem to be good. At the time of 
writing Linux Kernel Linux-2.6.18.8 is building itself.


Q. How to build Xen-3.2 without Mercurial tools ?


Many Thanks for your help.
