Hi all,
I am trying to compile libguestfs from source in Fedora12, but failed
with such error:
cp: cannot stat `initramfs/fakeroot.log': No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [../initramfs/fakeroot.log] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/yufang/Code/libguestfs/appliance'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/yufang/Code/libguestfs'
make: *** [all] Error 2
I have installed all required packages listed in
http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/devel/libguestfs/libguestfs.spec?view...
but still cannot find the reason. Could anybody do me a favour to have
a look at this issue?
config.log and output of make(make.log) are uploaded in the attachment
to track problems.
Thanks.

It's not clear, but are you trying to compile from the SRPM? If
so then you must add the following line to your ~/.rpmmacros file:
%libguestfs_buildnet 1
See the top of the spec file for an explanation.
If that's not the case, then make sure you have the latest
febootstrap, and make sure you are building --with-repo set to the
same name as the build host (eg. if --with-repo=fedora-12, then the
build host must be Fedora 12 too).
Does the initramfs directory exist? What's in it?

I got the source code from git://git.annexia.org/git/libguestfs.git
<http://git.annexia.org/?p=libguestfs.git;a=summary>;, and tried to
compile libguestfs within the directory.
If that's not the case, then make sure you have the latest
febootstrap, and make sure you are building --with-repo set to the
same name as the build host (eg. if --with-repo=fedora-12, then the
build host must be Fedora 12 too).

Rich.
For the host:
# rpm -qa | grep febootstrap
febootstrap-2.6-1.fc12.noarch
# cat /etc/redhat-release
Fedora release 12 (Constantine)
# uname -a
Linux yuzhang 2.6.32.11-99.fc12.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Apr 5 19:59:38 UTC
2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
And I use the following command before make:
# ./autogen.sh
--with-mirror=http://fileshare.englab.nay.redhat.com/redhat/fedora/linux/releases/12/x86_64/os
--with-updates=http://download.englab.nay.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/updates/12/x86_64/
--with-repo=fedora-12
Problem still exists.

OK, this all looks good to me.
It's a very strange error. It looks like something in these commands
deletes initramfs/fakeroot.log. That file is missing from the list of
files in initramfs/ that you posted.
+ febootstrap-run initramfs -- touch /etc/fstab
+ echo nameserver 10.0.2.3
+ febootstrap-install initramfs resolv.conf.new /etc/resolv.conf 0644 root.root
cp: cannot stat `initramfs/fakeroot.log': No such file or directory
I wonder if this is a LANG thing. Can you try setting:
export LANG=C
before compiling? If that fixes it, please file a bug (against
febootstrap) since obviously it should be possible to compile with any
LANG setting.

The problem seems to be that you'd checked out and were compiling
libguestfs as root. This is not a good idea as we discussed on IRC.
I'm going to add a check in the configure script and Makefile to make
it bomb out if people try that.

Redo all as a non-root user, everything works fine.

initramfs directory does exist:
# ls initramfs
bin dev etc home lib lib64 media mnt opt proc root sbin
selinux srv sys sysroot tmp usr var
And attachment is the structure of this directory.
