[Libguestfs] Notes on getting libguestfs to work on Mac OS X

Supplied by Pene on IRC who got libguestfs to compile and run on Mac OS X 10.9 with qemu 1.6.0. My notes in [] below. Rich. libguestfs on Mac OS X, recipe so far: -------------------------------------- - libtool-kill-dependency_libs.sh: replace chmod --reference="$output.tmp" "$output" -> chmod `stat -f "%p" "$output.tmp"` "$output" - src/proto.c: replace if (!(*xdrp) (&xdr, args)) -> if (!(*xdrp) (&xdr, args, 0)) - src/proto.c: replace if (xdrp && ret && !xdrp (&xdr, ret)) -> if (xdrp && ret && !xdrp (&xdr, ret, 0)) - src/launch-direct.c: comment out - if (qemu_supports (g, data, "-nodefaults")) ADD_CMDLINE ("-nodefaults"); [This works around a qemu bug: qemu: qemu_mutex_lock: Invalid argument when using the -nodefaults parameter] - fuse/guestunmount.c: replace execlp ("fusermount", "fusermount", "-u", mountpoint, NULL); -> execlp ("/sbin/umount", "fusermount", mountpoint, NULL); - fuse/guestunmount.c: replace execlp ("/sbin/fuser", "fuser", "-v", "-m", mountpoint, NULL); -> execlp ("/usr/bin/fuser", "fuser", "-c", mountpoint, NULL); - gnulib/lib/error.c: replace extern char *program_name; -> extern char *program_name = "libguestfs"; - gnulib/lib/open_memstream.c: add from http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2010-04/msg00379.html, remove check for #if !HAVE_FUNOPEN - gnulib/lib/stdio.in.h, gnulib/lib/Makefile.in: add new open_memstream.c [Mac OS X lacks open_memstream and gnulib doesn't supply it. Note that open_memstream is part of POSIX so this is a bug in OS X] - configure with: ./configure --disable-appliance --disable-daemon --disable-probes --disable-ruby --disable-php CFLAGS="-I/opt/local/include" LDFLAGS="-L/opt/local/lib" LIBS="-lintl" FUSE_CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include/osxfuse/fuse -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64" FUSE_LIBS="-losxfuse" -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones libguestfs lets you edit virtual machines. Supports shell scripting, bindings from many languages. http://libguestfs.org
