Description Richard W.M. Jones 2009-07-21 13:44:08 UTC
Description of problem:

The -net channel option has been renamed and changed
slightly in the newest qemu:

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/qemu.git/commit/?id=c92ef6a22d3c71538fcc48fb61ad353f7ba03b62

The old format still works fine.  However our configure
script breaks while trying to detect vmchannel support,
and in any case we should detect the new format and use
that directly (at runtime).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

libguestfs <= 1.0.62

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install qemu 0.10.50
2. Try to run ./configure with libguestfs
3.
  
Actual results:

Fails to detect vmchannel support.

Expected results:

Should detect new-style guestfwd support.

This seems to fix the configure script.  Unfortunately
still doesn't work, see bug 512973.

Long fixed upstream.  We don't use guestfwd by
default any more.
