[xen-tools-discuss] make install doesn't make

[Roland Giesler]

Hi everyone,

I'm pretty new to Xen, but not knew to virtualisation.  Since I'm by
far the most proficient in Ubuntu / Debian, I'm installing ConVirt 2.0
on a 64bit Ubuntu Lucid (10.04) desktop box, but of course need to
have Xen installed as well if I want to be able to create domU's on
that box.  The idea is that I build a complete virtual machine here
before deploying it to some server in production.

I read about the reasons why Ubuntu 10.04 doesn't have xen-tools
formally supported, but since this is the wonderful world of OSS, I'm
installing xen-tools from source, which is why I'm here! :-)

Now, I have checked out a copy of xen-tools as follows

git clone git://gitorious.org/xen-tools/xen-tools.git
cd xen-tools
sudo make install

Here are the steps and results

Make sure I have all the dependencies installed...

I see lots of Error 1 message above and if I try to install
ubuntu-xen-server it still had the dependency on xen-tools
unsatisfied.

Can someone point out what's wrong or what I should do to determine
what's causing this please?
