Xen devel - Aug 2012 - Howto/Tutorial: Compiling Xen 4.2 from source on RHEL5/CentOS5, RHEL6/CentOS6, Fedora 16, Fedora 17

Hello,

I just wrote instructions for building Xen 4.2 from sources on various RPM-based
Linux distributions.
The guide is available here: 

http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_4.2_Build_From_Source_On_RHEL_CentOS_Fedora

I was able to successfully build Xen 4.2.0-rc2 on the following Linux distros:

- CentOS 5.8 x64
- CentOS 6.3 x64
- Fedora 17 x64


RHEL5/CentOS5 requires some hackery to get yajl/yajl-devel rebuilt there, so the
tutorial url above
contains easy instructions and the required patch to make yajl build OK on EL5.

Thanks, it''s appreciated! And getting a recent Xen to work on CentOS
has
been on my todo list for quite some time. :)

(I removed xen-devel from the recipients; I understand why you sent it
to both lists but I''d suggest to move any further end-user discussion
to
xen-users, I hope that''s ok)
