Re: [libvirt] vTPM support in libvirt

[Andreas Sommer <AndiDog web de>]

I'm still experimenting around with the vTPM patch, and I want to 
install my version of libvirt on a Debian system - not in my $HOME 
directory but on the default paths. I followed the autogen command below 
and also did "make install", but now virsh for example searches for the 
certificates in /usr/local/etc/pki instead of the standard path 
/etc/pki. How do I need to configure the project to correct that and 
install libvirt from source like it would be installed by a package manager?
