Building issues of open source projects

1，gdb

    如果編譯用版本控制工具從code repository獲得的mainline代碼，要確定安裝texinfo, flex和bison包。

    並給gdb/remote.c打上一下補丁。  

    buf_len = strlen (rs->buf);      /* Further sanity checks, with knowledge of the architecture.  */ + #if 0     if (buf_len > 2 * rsa->sizeof_g_packet)       error (_( "Remote 'g' packet reply is too long: %s" ), rs->buf); - + #endif +  if (buf_len > 2 * rsa->sizeof_g_packet) { +     rsa->sizeof_g_packet = buf_len ; +     for (i = 0; i < gdbarch_num_regs (gdbarch); i++) { +        
if (rsa->regs[i].pnum == -1) +            
continue ; +        
if (rsa->regs[i].offset >= rsa->sizeof_g_packet) +             rsa->regs[i].in_g_packet = 0; +        
else +             rsa->regs[i].in_g_packet = 1; +     } +  }     /* Save the size of the packet sent to us by the target.  It is used        as a heuristic when determining the max size of packets that the        target can safely receive.  */

2，qemu

    安裝libsdl1.2-dev，不然qemu啟動後可能沒有圖形介面。啟動後會卡在 "VNC server running on xxxx"

3，libvirt

      安裝libtool包，不然autogen.sh運行失敗。

      先運行autogen.sh產生configure

      安裝gettext包

     安裝libgnutls-dev包

4，QPID

      安裝uuid-dev，提供uuid/uuid.h標頭檔

      安裝libsasl2-dev，提供sasl/sasl.h標頭檔

      安裝sasl2-bin，提供saslpasswd2

      安裝libboost-program-options-dev，提供boost_program_options

      安裝libboost-filesystem-dev，提供boost_filesystem

      打上fix-qpid-link-problem.patch補丁

      在運行configure前，先設定環境變數export LDFLAGS=-L<build-dir>/src/.libs，解決cannot find libxxx問題。

      使用python setup.py install安裝qpid-config等工具後，設定環境變數export PYTHONPATH=/home/xxx/workspace/qpid/qpid/python:/home/xxx/workspace/qpid/qpid/extras/qmf/src/py
