With the following patches, libguestfs now bootstraps from cloned sources (via ./autogen.sh) using the very latest (as of a day or two ago) from gnulib. I did hit this failure:
make libguestfs.pot-update make[1]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/libguestfs/po' make[1]: *** No rule to make target `../tools/virt-edit.pl',\ needed by `libguestfs.pot-update'. Stop.
but got past it by running this:
make -C po update-po
This is a missing dependency or something like that. It's a "well known" step you have to take after checking out a fresh libguestfs from git ...
Once I got it to build and pass "make check" I didn't try to narrow down precisely which patch(es) made the difference, so some of these changes may be unnecessary. Iterating to find a smaller set set didn't seem worthwhile.
Here's shortlog output:
build: update to latest gnulib bootstrap: use --libtool include config.h, even from examples examples/Makefile.am: link with libgnu.la for use of rpl_getcwd
Thanks, I've applied this. It appears to be working for me, but I'm just running through 'make check' to be sure.
