[Spice-devel] Spice agent and LXC

[Charles Ricketts]

I'm pretty sure that is actually the case. I know that I got a compilation
error at first on Ubuntu because I had forgotten to install the development
headers from the git sources. Compiling against the 1.8.0 headers in the
14.04 repositories gave me an error related to either
VD_AGENT_CLIPBOARD_MAX_SIZE_DEFAULT or VD_AGENT_CLIPBOARD_MAX_SIZE_ENV, I
forget which exactly. This symbol is in
/usr/include/spice-1/spice/vd_agent.h. If I'm looking at this correctly,
wouldn't something like this cause the problem?

In case I'm wrong, there is no debug spice-server library available on
Ubuntu 14.04 anyway. So, in order to compile one, would it be as easy as
`CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -g" make`, or something a little more intricate? I've done
simple compilations of programs I've written myself using `g++ -lm main.cpp
-o my_program,` but that's about the extent of it. I can usually get
configure scripts to work with me, but when it comes to Automake I'm
completely lost.
