search for: libguestfs_path

Set LIBGUESTFS_PATH to the default value compiled into and output a warning to STDERR, instead. The previous behavior caused the build to abort when trying to build the sysprep documentation -- without much of a hint of what went wrong. When LIBGUESTFS_PATH was not set, test-events.sh would fail. --- run.in | 8...

Here are some of the patches that I have maintained in the patch queue of my packages that I maintain within the Debian distribution (http://packages.qa.debian.org/libg/libguestfs.html). All of them address FTBFS (fail to build from source) errors that happened with the particular configuration that is used for building the Debian package. Cheers, -Hilko

Does anyone rely on the path-like behaviour of LIBGUESTFS_PATH?
