[Xen-users] Compiling Xen from source on a machine without Internet access
Hi, I am trying to compile Xen 4.0 on a machine without access to the Internet. However it does not work directly since the make process does a "hg" and gets some files from an svn. Is there a way I can compile Xen from source on a machine which cannot access the Internet? I am looking for something other the obvious answer of "compile it on another Internet-connected machine and copy the result to that machine which is not connected to the Internet" (both these machines can talk to each other). Thanks, Virajith _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

You can make your kernel externally (fetch the source per git from the pv_ops repository or xen) and just create the xen tools with make xen and make tools, then you can install it per ./install.sh in the xen src dir, as far as I remember. Check the xen-wiki for futher details. Am 09.08.2010 21:37, schrieb Virajith Jalaparti:> Hi, > > I am trying to compile Xen 4.0 on a machine without access to the > Internet.

It includes ioemu (qemu-dm) at least.. Instructions here how to build without needing to download the kernel from xen.git: http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/Xen4.0 The tools tarballs might still need to be downloaded though.. maybe you can prefetch those once and then just copy to the build dir? -- Pasi _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
