Hello Richard!

Would you please advise how to build virt-v2v?

I cloned it as 'git clone https://github.com/libguestfs/virt-v2v.git' Then I ran commands similar to building libguesfs: git submodule update --init CFLAGS=-fPIC ./autogen.sh

and got the error message:

checking for LIBGUESTFS... no configure: error: Package requirements (libguestfs >= 1.40) were not met:

No package 'libguestfs' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LIBGUESTFS_CFLAGS and LIBGUESTFS_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details.

The error message comes from this line: https://github.com/libguestfs/virt-v2v/blob/b4d737364d858959421e788a5eddd45d... The PKG_CHECK_MODULES macro is described in the pkg-config(1) man page, and also there's this description: https://autotools.io/pkgconfig/pkg_check_modules.html

But I do have the libguestfs installed and met the version requirement:

yum info libguestfs Loaded plugins: auto-update-debuginfo, fastestmirror, langpacks, priorities, product-id, rhsm-auto-add-pools, search-disabled-repos, va, virtuozzo, vzlinux, yum-plugin-readykernel Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile Trying to discover and attach new pools 266 packages excluded due to repository priority protections Installed Packages Name : libguestfs Arch : x86_64 Epoch : 1 Version : 1.40.2 Release : 9.vz7.9 Size : 2.3 M Repo : installed From repo : virtuozzo-os

You probably also need libguestfs-devel, since the macro is really looking for libguestfs.pc (probably /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/libguestfs.pc). Rich.

Then I specified the path to the library like

LIBGUESTFS_LIBS=/usr/lib64/libguestfs.so.0 CFLAGS=-fPIC ./autogen.sh

and got the same error message.

I found no instraction for building virt-v2v at https://libguestfs.org/virt-v2v.1.html

I moved the virt-v2v project directory into my libguestfs one like .../libguestfs/virt-v2v and ran the autogen.sh from there but it has not helped either.

I will appreciate your boost with an advice how to build the virt-v2v correctly. Analyzing the config can take pretty time and the time matters for me.

Thank you.
