autoconf/ debian 6.0 - missing dependency checks
I just did a ./configure and then make on a fresh debian 6.0 64-bit install. ./configure caught most of the missing dependencies except the following, which caused compilation failures. 1. libncurses5-dev (I get errors from tools/misc, concerning gtraceview) 2. bin86 & bcc & iasl - during firmware compilation 3. python-dev (from tools/python/xen/lowlevel/xc) I am not sure if I was doing something wrong or if its the configure script missing these dependency checks. shriram _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xen.org http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel

If it were just gtraceview a soft dependency would have been ok.> 2. bin86 & bcc & iasl - during firmware compilationThe first two are used for vgabios and rombios only, I think. We should eventually have --{enable,disable}-rombios but for now this is also a hard dependency. iasl is used by tools/firmware/hvmloader/... that''s a hard dependency.> 3. python-dev (from tools/python/xen/lowlevel/xc)We should eventually have --enable-python/--enable-xend etc but for now this is a hard dependency.> I am not sure if I was doing something wrong or if its the configure > script missing these dependency checks.Missing I think.
