Building issues of open source projects

1，gdb

    如果编译用版本控制工具从code repository获得的mainline代码，要确定安装texinfo, flex和bison包。

    并给gdb/remote.c打上一下补丁。  

   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

    安装libsdl1.2-dev，不然qemu启动后可能没有图形界面。启动后会卡在 "VNC server running on xxxx"

3，libvirt

      安装libtool包，不然autogen.sh运行失败。

      先运行autogen.sh生成configure

      安装gettext包

     安装libgnutls-dev包

4，QPID

      安装uuid-dev，提供uuid/uuid.h头文件

      安装libsasl2-dev，提供sasl/sasl.h头文件

      安装sasl2-bin，提供saslpasswd2

      安装libboost-program-options-dev，提供boost_program_options

      安装libboost-filesystem-dev，提供boost_filesystem

      打上fix-qpid-link-problem.patch补丁

      在运行configure前，先设置环境变量export LDFLAGS=-L<build-dir>/src/.libs，解决cannot find libxxx问题。

      使用python setup.py install安装qpid-config等工具后，设置环境变量export PYTHONPATH=/home/xxx/workspace/qpid/qpid/python:/home/xxx/workspace/qpid/qpid/extras/qmf/src/py
