Finding the run script to execute virt-sysprep or other commands
Hi , I have downloaded the tar file of libguestfs. There is a run.in file , is this the script described in README file which I have to run to get started without installing the libguestfs ? Thank you , Aditya S

To use libguestfs as built but not installed, you need to build libguestfs before, i.e. `./configure` first and then `make`. configure will generate run from run.in, but still the rest of the build is needed to generate & compile all the libraries and binaries. -- Pino Toscano
Hi , I have installed the libguestfs-1.35.19 after running ./configure it says configure: error: supermin >= 5.1 must be installed, your version is too old but ubuntu14.04 trusty has the latest version as 4.1.6-1 as given here https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/supermin The configure as a result was not successful and the run file not generated yet. Do you suggest I try libguestfs1.34 stable version. I am stuck , I guess on ubuntu 14.04 I am finding difficulty to get things going . I would like to use the virt-customize and virt-builder commands and I have not been able to install the package so far . Thank you, Aditya S

This is correct, libguestfs >= 1.26 requires supermin 5.x. You can download it here: http://libguestfs.org/download/supermin/ Building is simple, the usual untar + configure + make -- check out its README for the detailed install instructions (with requirements). Once built (supermin does not need to be installed), you can point libguestfs to it when running configure: $ export SUPERMIN=/full/path/to/the/supermin/binary $ ./configure [etc..] See also the "SELECTED ./configure SETTINGS" section in the guestfs-building documentation. -- Pino Toscano
