Libguestfs - Aug 2017 - Re: libguestfs binaries missing when built from source code

Hello Richard,

I have been following that link to build libguestfs that includes virt-resize
binary. But it is found that the libguetfs is split into another
libguestfs-tools-c which actually provides this virt-resize binary.

I would like to know at which part of the spec the virt-binary is created. I
mean, what actually provides this binary?

Regards,
Emlyn Jose

It's very unclear.  What exact steps are you using to build libguestfs?

In the Fedora packaging we put virt-resize into libguestfs-tools-c,
but in the upstream sources the binary is built in the resize/
subdirectory.

Running ?make? builds all the binaries.

If you mean the binary is not being created during ?make?, then it's
likely you have some missing build dependencies, most probably the
OCaml compiler.
