hi, When I compile spice following the Building_Instructions, an error appears after " ./autogen.sh --prefix=$INST_ROOT " : *************************************************** ... checking sys/time.h usability... yes checking sys/time.h presence... yes checking for sys/time.h... yes checking for x86 or x86-64 platform... 64 bit checking for native Win32... no checking for some Win32 platform... no checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes checking for PROTOCOL... configure: error: Package requirements (spice-protocol >= 0.6.0) were not met: No package 'spice-protocol' found Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables PROTOCOL_CFLAGS and PROTOCOL_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. ************************************************************************ How can I solve the problem? <div class="gmail_quote">2011/2/21 Songwen Liao <<a href="mailto:songwen.liao@gmail.com">songwen.liao@gmail.com</a>> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Hi, If you just compile the spice server,there is no spice-server.pc in your PKG_CONFIG_PATH. So,you can find the .pc file and move it to your PKG_CONFIG_PATH or the standard path. just let the qemu can find spice-server library.. thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------- <div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Message: 2 Date: Mon, 21 Feb 2011 13:05:37 +0100 (CET) From: Fr?d?ric Grelot <<a href="mailto:fredericg_99@yahoo.fr" target="_blank">fredericg_99@yahoo.fr</a>> Subject: [Spice-devel] Difficulty in building qemu with spice enabled To: <a href="mailto:spice-devel@freedesktop.org" target="_blank">spice-devel@freedesktop.org</a> Message-ID: <<a href="mailto:b997c0e5-a178-4fd0-b354-a69aad385e48@zimbra.grelot.net" target="_blank">b997c0e5-a178-4fd0-b354-a69aad385e48@zimbra.grelot.net</a>> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8<div><div></div><div class="h5"> Hello everyone, Because of a bug I mentioned on the <a href="mailto:virt@lists.fedoraproject.org" target="_blank">virt@lists.fedoraproject.org</a> mailing list (available here : <a href="http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/virt/2011-February/002539.html" target="_blank">http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/virt/2011-February/002539.html</a> ), I tried to manually build my own copy of qemu-kvm, with spice enabled. I'm not sure if that is a "./configure" pre-requisite problem, but I spent few hours before understanding the following message : ./configure --enable-spice ERROR ERROR: User requested feature spice ERROR: configure was not able to find it ERROR So, for information to anyone encountering the same problem : this does not mean that your source repository hasn't got the feature, but this means that pkg-config could not find the "spice-server" description file. In my case, I had to set "PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkg-config" before launching configure. Maybe this information can find a place on the wiki... I'll see if I have time to do it tomorrow. Frederic. PS : By the way, after building qemu by myself (tag spice.kvm.v28 from git), the above-mentioned bug was solved. ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Spice-devel mailing list <a href="mailto:Spice-devel@lists.freedesktop.org" target="_blank">Spice-devel@lists.freedesktop.org</a> <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/spice-devel" target="_blank">http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/spice-devel</a> </div></div> End of Spice-devel Digest, Vol 13, Issue 81 ******************************************* </blockquote></div> -- <div>Name:   Kyle -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</div> <div>Mobile:  15800910495 Msn:    <a href="mailto:liaosongwen@live.cn" target="_blank">liaosongwen@live.cn</a></div> _______________________________________________ Spice-devel mailing list <a href="mailto:Spice-devel@lists.freedesktop.org">Spice-devel@lists.freedesktop.org</a> <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/spice-devel" target="_blank">http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/spice-devel</a> </blockquote></div>
