Based on (no README or any instructions in virt-v2v)
http://libguestfs.org/guestfs-building.1.html
I tried this:
git clean -dxf
./autogen.sh
And it fails with:
--- Checking for libraries used by virt-v2v ---
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for LIBGUESTFS... no
configure: error: Package requirements (libguestfs >= 1.41.5) were not met:
Package dependency requirement 'libguestfs >= 1.41.5' could not be satisfied.
Package 'libguestfs' has version '1.40.2', required version is '>=
1.41.5'
You can actually use 1.40 just fine. There is a single test which
requires 1.41 (I forget now which one), and we should probably change
that test to make it conditional. Just modify m4/guestfs-libraries.m4:
-PKG_CHECK_MODULES([LIBGUESTFS], [libguestfs >= 1.41.5])
+PKG_CHECK_MODULES([LIBGUESTFS], [libguestfs >= 1.40])
and rerun ‘autoreconf -i’.
