Description Menanteau Guy 2014-10-24 13:34:24 UTC
libguestfs-1.28.1-1.fc21 failed to build on ppc64le arch

checking for bison... bison -y
checking for qemu-kvm... no
checking for qemu-system-ppc64le... no
checking for qemu... no
configure: error: qemu must be installed
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.0Zq48H (%build)
RPM build errors:
    Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.0Zq48H (%build)

This is due to check on /usr/bin/qemu-system-ppc64le
when the qemu installs /usr/bin/qemu-system-ppc64 for ppc64le arch

I succeed to scrtch build a libguestfs on ppc64le
http://ppc.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2159373
using a patch and a change on libguestfs.spec.

Please consider change on libguestfs.spec:

libguestfs ppc64le patch

Comment 2 Richard W.M. Jones 2014-10-24 13:46:04 UTC
I think this (untested) upstream patch is better:

https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/a61d190ed3c7eb0d9389abcd69c44c78dd2be3ad

Comment 3 Menanteau Guy 2014-10-24 14:28:49 UTC
This patch is included in my file attached too, I didn't notice it was already in upstream.
But anyway, it was not enough in my case and without the change on libguestfs.spec it was still failing...

Comment 4 Richard W.M. Jones 2014-10-24 15:52:35 UTC
Ah, sorry, I didn't see that attachment.

I have now pushed the remaining part of that upstream.

https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/5018e001290a585ed303bc311cdeeca6b5c11e98

I'm closing this because these patches will eventually be
added to stable, thus fixing it on F21.

Do you have a time frame for the inclusion of this fix in F21? We have other stuff being blocked by libguestfs right now.

Comment 6 Richard W.M. Jones 2014-10-24 20:31:48 UTC
OK right, I didn't know.  I'll backport this soon.

Comment 7 Richard W.M. Jones 2014-10-24 20:57:40 UTC
Can you try to kick off a ppc64le build now?  If not you'll have
to wait and see if
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=7939994 finishes.

Comment 12 Richard W.M. Jones 2014-11-05 17:20:31 UTC
So that in fact didn't solve the problem.  I've removed
the entire %configure --with-qemu... from Rawhide, to see
if that works.  If it does I'll port that to F21.
