Xen devel - Jan 2010 - How to rebuild XCP from source code

Hi all,

We are recently considering to use XCP as our underlying infrastructure.
XCP used DDK and SDK to allow driver and module development for particular
system integrator.
However, in our case, we need the ability to rebuild XCP from source code.
Does anyone know how to rebuild XCP from source code?

Typically an open system, like UNIX and LINUX, do NOT have DDK or SDK for
developers.
They give the whole source tree to build.
Will XCP provide the whole source tree and makefile for rebuilding?

Thanks!

Ken

Hi Ken,

XCP provides a SDK/DDK because it''s the easiest method so that
we''re
sure that all the build requirements (tools, source, ..) are met before
building.

otherwise you can find all the source tree available in public
repositories at http://xenbits.xen.org/xapi/

I also think you should have a look at the following links:

http://xenbits.xen.org/xapi/install.html
http://www.xen.org/products/cloud_source.html

Hi Vincent,

Thank you for the response.  Besides only rebuilding XAPI by SDK/DDK, my goal is
to rebuild the whole XCP 0.1 binary from source CDs - that is, after the rebuild
I can use it to install hypervisor and DOM0, just like installation from the XCP
0.1 binary CD downloaded from Xen.org site.

Is this possible or supported?   (I.e., is installation XCP 0.1 from source CDs
possible or supported?)  Please advise.

Thanks again,
Ken
