rather than directly invoking setup.py.
As of libvirt 1.2.6, it is possible to develop against an uninstalled
-libvirt.git checkout, by setting some environment variables:
+libvirt.git checkout, by setting PKG_CONFIG_PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+environment variables to point into that libvirt tree; you can even
+automate this by using libvirt's run script:
- export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/path/to/libvirt/git/src/
- export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/libvirt/git/src/.libs/
+ /path/to/libvirt/run python setup.py build
Patches for this code should be sent to the main libvirt
