Hello, I'm attempting to create a Homebrew formula to get libguestfs to compile on Mac OS X. I've managed to achieve success with several monkey patches, but since Homebrew's policy is to contact maintainers about proper fixes in upstream, I would like to ask if there are any plans to fix these issues. I'm afraid I don't know C well enough to propose decent solutions myself.

OS X lacks open_memstream, causing hivexsh to fail to build. This patch defines HAVE_HIVEXSH, setting the only condition to open_memstream existence.

Since the first patch: - The program is now called 'guestunmount'. - I tested the --fd option and it appears to work. - You can now control retries / quiet. - Revised man pages. - Includes tests. I'm just running through the automated tests now. Rich.

I came across a race condition in lightdm greeter setup phase before the login screen is displayed (at boot time or after logout). I reported this also on Launchpad with more details (https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/1172752), but to work on a proper fix, ideas on how to fix this would be welcome. During greeter setup "lightdm --session-child" is spawned twice. The first call to

* PATCH FOR DISCUSSION ONLY - NOT TO BE APPLIED * Colin suggested something which seems eminently sensible: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=916780 I've been through a couple of rounds of trying to implement this. I started with adding the option as suggested to the guestmount program, but it tended to make the guestmount program more complex. More importantly, adding the option

This patch series improves, but does not complete, OS X support for hivex. There are several outstanding issues before hivexml and hivexsh can run: * hivexsh uses open_memstream, which doesn't exist in OS X as near as I can see. Unfortunately, I'm inexperienced with autoconf, so I'm not sure how to employ AC_CHECK_FUNCS([open_memstream]) to conditionally add 'sh' to the

Hey, When downloading a file whose path contains multi-byte utf-8, libguestfs sometimes crashes. This reproduces when using python, and not when using guestfish.

Assorted collection of small improvements in making libguestfs build on non-Linux OSes; most of the changes impact tests though. Thanks, Pino Toscano (7): build: check the path of fuser, and use it in FUSE code tests: move guestfs-md5.sh to test-data v2v: tests: isolate SHA1 calculation in an own shared function v2v: tests: use guestfs-hashsums.sh for MD5 php: pass $(MAKE) to

As advised by Daniel P. Berrange, the third parameter can be passed on all platforms rather than specifically Mac.
