</ul><h3><a name="License" id="License">License</a>(s)</h3><ol><li><em>Licensing Terms for libvir</em>
<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>
</li>
<li><em>Can I embed libvir in a proprietary application ?</em>
<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>
</li>
</ol><h3><a name="Installati" id="Installati">Installation</a></h3><ol><li><em>Where can I get libvir</em> ?
<p>The original distribution comes from <a href="ftp://libvir.org/pub/libvir/">ftp://libvir.org/pub/libvir/</a>.</p>
</li>
<li><em>I can't install the libvir/libvir-devel RPM packages due to failed
dependencies</em>
<p>The most generic solution is to re-fetch the latest src.rpm , and
rebuild it locally with</p>
<p><code>rpm --rebuild libvir-xxx.src.rpm</code>.</p>
<p>If everything goes well it will generate two binary rpm packages (one
providing the shared libs and xmllint, and the other one, the -devel
package, providing includes, static libraries and scripts needed to build
applications with libvir that you can install locally.</p>
</li>
</ol><h3><a name="Compilatio" id="Compilatio">Compilation</a></h3><ol><li><em>What is the process to compile libvir ?</em>
<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
packages as well as xen with its public headers.</p>
</li>
<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>
</li>
</ol><h3><a name="Developer" id="Developer">Developer</a> corner</h3><ol><li><em>Troubles compiling or linking programs using libvir</em>
<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>
