It would be great if you were to test building xapi on Arch. I don''t
expect it''ll actually work right away, but getting it building and
running would be a good start.
You should probably be using opam for this. opam is a package management
tool for OCaml software that has good settings for developers. See
http://www.ocamlpro.com/products/opam.html for instructions for
installing opam.
Once you have opam running, add xen-org''s opam-repo-dev by doing
$ opam remote add xen-org git://github.com/xen-org/opam-repo-dev.git
and do an ''opam update ; opam install xapi''. After that, if
you''re
interested in development, you can clone the xen-api git repo and then
pin the xapi package to this local source tree. Then you can test your
patches by doing ''opam reinstall xapi''.
We''re currently working on making xapi buildable from opam. Things are
sort-of working, but they''re changing rapidly, so expect breakages
while
working with the opam packages.
