Hi, is there anywhere a complete and definitive list of build dependencies for xen? I see that also in the 3.0.4 release, the dependencies mentioned in the README file are incompltee at best, as in the previous releases: no mentioning of the needed x11 dev libs in the README, no mentioning that sdl devel libs is quite useful for desktop windows hvm usage, and dev86 is needed to get the hvmloader. and that''s only the things I found out up until now - no idea what else is missing here. What else is xen depeneding on, and which optional feature are silently left out when not having the dependencies?

The latter we will probably make a requirement for 3.0.5 (fail the build if it is missing). There used to be some extra requirements for pygrub but I think that''s no longer the case. -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

Ah, and openssl. openssl0.9.8 (hmm, or .7?) was also a runtime depenceny of the binary packages that I saw nowhere written down.

Removing the dependency and ideally merging with the bespoke vnc code in qemu should be a priority.
