    <p>libvir is released under the <a href="http://www.opensource.org/licenses/lgpl-license.html">GNU Lesser
    General Public License</a>, see the file COPYING.LIB in the distribution
    for the precise wording. The only library that libvir depends upon is the
    Xen store access library which is also licenced under the LGPL.</p>

    <p>Yes. The LGPL allows you to embed libvir into a proprietary
    application. It would be graceful to send-back bug fixes and improvements
    as patches for possible incorporation in the main development tree. It
    will decrease your maintainance costs anyway if you do so.</p>

    <p>As most UNIX libraries libvir follows the "standard":</p>
    <p><code>gunzip -c libvir-xxx.tar.gz | tar xvf -</code></p>
    <p><code>cd libvir-xxxx</code></p>
    <p><code>./configure --help</code></p>
    <p>to see the options, then the compilation/installation proper</p>
    <p><code>./configure [possible options]</code></p>
    <p><code>make</code></p>
    <p><code>make install</code></p>
    <p>At that point you may have to rerun ldconfig or a similar utility to
    update your list of installed shared libs.</p>
  </li>
  <li><em>What other libraries are needed to compile/install libvir ?</em>
    <p>Libvir requires libxenstore, which is usually provided by the xen

  <li><em>I use the CVS version and there is no configure script</em>
    <p>The configure script (and other Makefiles) are generated. Use the
    autogen.sh script to regenerate the configure script and Makefiles,
    like:</p>
    <p><code>./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --disable-shared</code></p>

    <p>To simplify the process of reusing the library, libvir comes with
    pkgconfig support, which can be used directly from autoconf support or
    via the pkg-config command line tool, like:</p>
    <p><code>pkg-config libvir --libs</code></p>
