Hi Rich,
With the following patches, libguestfs now bootstraps from cloned
sources (via ./autogen.sh) using the very latest (as of a day or two ago)
from gnulib. I did hit this failure:
make libguestfs.pot-update
make[1]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/libguestfs/po'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `../tools/virt-edit.pl',\
needed by `libguestfs.pot-update'. Stop.
but got past it by running this:
make -C po update-po
Once I got it to build and pass "make check" I didn't try
to narrow down precisely which patch(es) made the difference,
so some of these changes may be unnecessary.
Iterating to find a smaller set set didn't seem worthwhile.
Here's shortlog output:
build: update to latest gnulib
bootstrap: use --libtool
include config.h, even from examples
examples/Makefile.am: link with libgnu.la for use of rpl_getcwd
