I've added a few patches upstream to make static linking work, and it is [surprisingly] possible to get it to work. You'll have to check out libguestfs from git. Read the README file very carefully, and get familiar with building from source. This is easier on a recent Fedora machine or VM. Once you are comfortable building libguestfs from source, configure it like this: ./configure

This is a more complete patch to add the test harness. The only parts missing now are the language bindings (except OCaml). The language bindings need a bit more thought. At the moment most language binding tests are done through some sort of shell script like perl/run-perl-tests which either runs each test itself or uses some language-specific machinary to run each test. The problem with that

Since v2: - Add perl tests. - Reworked and fixed the tests for virt-builder. - Some further minor bug fixes.

Since v3: - A large number of fixes, especially for running the tests on installed libguestfs. - Fixed EXTRA_DIST rules throughout. - Extra patch 17/17 which is a tidy-up of the generated XML listing guests. Rich.
