Looks like virt-v2v cannot be built now, since it requires non-existing version
of libguestfs-devel.
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'
$ rpm -qa | grep libguestfs
libguestfs-xfs-1.40.2-4.fc30.x86_64
libguestfs-tools-c-1.40.2-4.fc30.x86_64
libguestfs-devel-1.40.2-4.fc30.x86_64
libguestfs-1.40.2-4.fc30.x86_64
Is it possible to build using libguestfs source?

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’.

Tried again with new clean checkout, this change fixes the issue.
The next issue is same as libguestfs:
autoreconf: running: automake --add-missing --copy --no-force
configure.ac:30: installing 'build-aux/missing'
configure.ac:102: error: required file 'common/options/Makefile.in' not found

...
parallel-tests: installing 'build-aux/test-driver'
gnulib/lib/Makefile.am: installing 'build-aux/depcomp'
autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1
autogen.sh ignores the error and continue, and finally failing with:
config.status: error: cannot find input file: `Makefile.in'
Looking in common we have:
$ tree common
common
├── mlgettext

└── mlstdutils
I tried you other suggests for git submodules:
$ git submodule init
Submodule 'common' (https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs-common)
registered for path 'common'
$ git submodule update
fatal: destination path '/home/nsoffer/src/virt-v2v/common' already

Submodule path 'common': checked out
'8c42f772614b44a8cb974afa904ec9f518431ab2'
$ ./autogen.sh
This seems to fix the issue, but make failed with:
$ make -j8
There seems to be no Makefile in this directory.
You must run ./configure before running 'make'.
make: *** [GNUmakefile:108: abort-due-to-no-makefile] Error 1
$ ./configure
Works, but now make fail with:

This happens because the Fedora package ocaml-libguestfs-devel is not

is a bug in virt-v2v.

I tried with new checkout:
rm -rf virt-v2v
git clone ...
So this must be another issue.

I've pushed a few commits which fix various aspects of the build and
may improve things for you:
commit d5ce9c91469d3d384aa32735453a1f8a20d4ec25
Author: Richard W.M. Jones <rjones(a)redhat.com>
Date: Mon Nov 18 10:11:57 2019 +0000
tests: Add TESTS_ENVIRONMENT in a couple of makefiles.
We were accidentally testing the installed virt-v2v rather than the
locally built one.
commit fffa7732c5d4899217c36985f1ef753d2469f1cd
Author: Richard W.M. Jones <rjones(a)redhat.com>
Date: Mon Nov 18 09:46:49 2019 +0000
m4: Relax dependency on libguestfs versions.
1.41 was only required to run a single test, but in all other respects
1.40 works fine. Relax the dependency and fix the test instead.
Thanks: Nir Soffer.
commit 8cab32c0eb4b455d7f0700ef5966eed3a23b6327
Author: Richard W.M. Jones <rjones(a)redhat.com>
Date: Mon Nov 18 09:45:05 2019 +0000
m4: Remove daemon checks and dependency on hivex.
Now that we've split out virt-v2v, there's no daemon, and hivex is not
required (since it is only used through the guestfs API).
commit 48afc3b004e44feaf3844c5eeb96e2a1aadbeb03
Author: Richard W.M. Jones <rjones(a)redhat.com>
Date: Mon Nov 18 09:44:12 2019 +0000
m4: Check that ocaml 'guestfs' module is available.
It is required to compile virt-v2v after we split out libguestfs and
virt-v2v.
Thanks: Nir Soffer.

I think we still have an issue with new checkout, having to delete common/
and update the submodule.
Tried this again with clean checkout.
Complete instructions for building virt-v2v in the first time:
git clone https://github.com/libguestfs/virt-v2v.git
cd virt-v2v
git submodule init
git submodule update
./autogen.sh
make
rm po-docs/podfiles
make -C po-docs update-po
./run virt-v2v --version
virt-v2v 1.41.7
Looks like autogen.sh and bootstrap need update for common submodule, since
they check and handle only gnulib status.
