When compiling when an older nbdkit is installed, the build would fail because certain symbols such as .get_ready were not defined: ../../src/libguestfs.org/nbdkit/nbdkit.go:541:8: plugin.get_ready undefined (type _Ctype_struct_nbdkit_plugin has no field or method get_ready) This happens because we were using the installed <nbdkit-plugin.h> rather than the local copy. We don't want to modify the *.go files themselves as they might be copied into other projects. Instead we can set PKG_CONFIG to point to a fake pkg-config bi...

Version 2: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2020-April/thread.html#00166 Version 3 contains all changes discussed in the previous review. Rich.

Version 1 was here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2020-April/thread.html#00160 Version 2 side-steps the objections to the first patch by using a well-formed alternate nbdkit.pc file and running ordinary pkg-config against it, so any parsing of --cflags etc will be done by pkg-config. The first patch is essentially the same idea as:

Compiling nbdkit from source when an older nbdkit is installed would fail because certain symbols such as .get_ready are not defined in the (installed) <nbdkit-plugin.h>: ../../src/libguestfs.org/nbdkit/nbdkit.go:541:8: plugin.get_ready undefined (type _Ctype_struct_nbdkit_plugin has no field or method get_ready) Of course we should be compiling against the local include/nbdkit-plugin.h file. We don't want to modify the *.go files themselves as they might be copied into other projects. Instead we can set PKG_CONFIG_PATH to point to server/local/nbdkit.pc which will r...
