Hello. I've tried to compile a custom libvirt+libvirt-python+virt-manager stack following these tutorials :
https://developer.ibm.com/.../compiling-libvirt-and-qemu/ <https://developer.ibm.com/technologies/linux/tutorials/compiling-libvirt-and-qemu/?fbclid=IwAR2plFzMwUYhRtHl0SZRX8Ox1nIc09F0pNF-_XYhZWV_OsueyivdmWV0ets> https://gist.github.com/.../9e06ee32431d9a8f6d9bec3a0db35634 <https://gist.github.com/ffledgling/9e06ee32431d9a8f6d9bec3a0db35634?fbclid=IwAR1lRJtcxTwTdrLfx_h41aZFzY_xYCdqPwp02EIiOJ2ztcxVc4JT-FxEUtk> on my jetson nano (arm64 + ubuntu 18.04) In details,these are the steps that I did : 1) Install Git and clone both upstream libvirt and qemu repos. git clone https://github.com/qemu/qemu.git <https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fqemu%2Fqemu.git%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR1HZjfxJLIGKULJneZhYY8drICb9AjZMY7BGbIcxrsljpg_exiorE0GC4I&h=AT1qgadNVCO6vef93eMQaj_Npuwj_Kg3iaH6W7acKhWbh61rSJMnwIlhaSdQL_925Fqx2zjuLjQH3IpMz9tT1JBKowrBPOwZmwiVnnYAg3jq14UG-8DKfJiDcA&__tn__=-UK-R&c[0]=AT2aXw9EVHE3mfv3jPdV2v6aTd5eC8t8a_4O_m-ZpY7Li8GN_tDit6AQegYU7DF-E4q6tqQ3oi-WWrY0VUHxzdUhi93yll04p-N051vtR9rzeZJC-5RDzGGBoGSvx5OfoG2O> git clone https://github.com/libvirt/libvirt.git <https://github.com/libvirt/libvirt.git?fbclid=IwAR3_TkDD5wp8qxhpImu9RTOcTX8IDmQHdCXV0ilNGtJVTSzXb9UopgcxA1c> 2) Configure and build the qemu code and then install the qemu code. The make install command creates the binary files in the /usr/local directory. cd qemu mkdir -p build cd build ../configure --prefix=/usr/local --target-list=aarch64-softmmu,arm-softmmu --enable-guest-agent --enable-vnc --enable-vnc-jpeg --enable-vnc-png --enable-kvm --enable-spice --enable-sdl --enable-gtk --enable-virglrenderer --enable-opengl make -j sudo make install 3) Configure and build libvirt and then install the libvirt code. Libvirt_build contains the log and configuration files for the daemons and the qemu driver. cd ~/Desktop/zi/Work/I9/libvirt mkdir -p libvirt_build cd libvirt $ meson build --prefix=~/Desktop/zi/Work/I9/libvirt/libvirt_build $ ninja -C build $ sudo ninja -C build install 4) Run the following commands from the $HOME/libvirt/build directory to start the libvirt daemon (libvirtd). ~/Desktop/zi/Work/I9/libvirt/build# sudo ./run src/virtlockd & sudo ./run src/virtlogd & sudo ./run src/libvirtd 5) Here is the output of the virt process running in my system. root@zi-desktop:~/Desktop/zi/Work/I9/libvirt# ps axf | grep virt 30925 pts/0 S 0:00 | \_ sudo ./run src/virtlockd 30929 pts/0 S 0:00 | | \_ src/virtlockd 30926 pts/0 S 0:00 | \_ sudo ./run src/virtlogd 30930 pts/0 S 0:00 | | \_ src/virtlogd 31201 pts/0 S 0:00 | \_ sudo ./run src/virtlockd 31205 pts/0 S 0:00 | | \_ src/virtlockd 31202 pts/0 S 0:00 | \_ sudo ./run src/virtlogd 31207 pts/0 S 0:00 | | \_ src/virtlogd 31204 pts/0 S+ 0:00 | \_ sudo ./run src/libvirtd 31206 pts/0 Sl+ 0:01 | \_ src/libvirtd 4732 pts/1 S+ 0:00 \_ grep --color=auto virt 31413 ? S 0:00 /usr/sbin/dnsmasq --conf-file=/root/Desktop/zi/Work/I9/libvirt/libvirt_build/var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/default.conf --leasefile-ro --dhcp-script=/home/zi/Desktop/Work/I9/libvirt/build/src/libvirt_leaseshelper 31426 ? S 0:00 \_ /usr/sbin/dnsmasq --conf-file=/root/Desktop/zi/Work/I9/libvirt/libvirt_build/var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/default.conf --leasefile-ro --dhcp-script=/home/zi/Desktop/Work/I9/libvirt/build/src/libvirt_leaseshelper In this process, everything being run from ‘/usr/sbin’ is from the system based libvirt OS installation. The virt process that has been run as sudo is from custom libvirt. This indicates that you can have system-based libvirtd daemon and custom libvirtd daemon both running at the same time. 6) Install libvirt-python next because we need to use virt-manager and that requires libvirt python bindings ~/Desktop/zi/Work/I9/libvirt-python-7.3.0# export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/zi/Desktop/Work/I9/libvirt/libvirt_build/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH ~/Desktop/zi/Work/I9/libvirt-python-7.3.0# python setup.py build # python setup.py install --root /home/zi/Desktop/Work/I9/libvirt/libvirt_build ok 7) Then I've installed a custom virt-manager into the same location : # cp -r virt-manager-3.2.0 /home/zi/Desktop/Work/I9/libvirt/src # cd virt-manager-3.2.0 # python setup.py install --root /home/zi/Desktop/Work/I9/libvirt/libvirt_build Finally I've put all in my $PATH: CUSTOM_ROOT=/home/zi/Desktop/Work/I9/libvirt/libvirt_build export PATH=$CUSTOM_ROOT/bin:$PATH export PATH=$CUSTOM_ROOT/usr/bin:$PATH PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin:/home/zi/Desktop/Work:/root/Desktop/turbovnc/jtx1_remote_access/tmp/turbovnc-build/bin/:/root/Desktop/turbovnc/jtx1_remote_access/tmp/virtualgl-build/bin:/home/zi/Desktop/Work/I9/libvirt/libvirt_build/bin:/home/zi/Desktop/Work/I9/libvirt/libvirt_build/usr/bin # /home/zi/Desktop/Work/I9/libvirt/libvirt_build/usr/bin# ./virt-manager Unfortunately,the virt-manager does not work. /home/zi/Desktop/Work/I9/libvirt/libvirt_build/usr/bin# ./virt-manager Traceback (most recent call last): File "./virt-manager", line 6, in <module> from virtManager import virt manager ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'virtManager' /home/zi/Desktop/Work/I9/libvirt/libvirt_build/usr/bin# virt-manager Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/zi/Desktop/Work/I9/libvirt/libvirt_build/usr/bin/virt-manager", line 6, in <module> from virtManager import virt manager ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'virtManager' What can I do now ? -- Mario.
