How to install spice-server correctly in CentOS 7 with the source codes?

Question

I met a problem when I try to install QEMU with spice support.

It works well if I install spice-server with yum . In this case when I type ./configure --enable-spice in root directory of QEMU's source codes, the spice-server can be detected correctly.

But now I want to install spice-server by compiling its source codes, cause I have some work to do with it.

I tried ./configure; make; make install ./configure; make; make install ./configure; make; make install and ./configure --prefix=/usr; make; make install ./configure --prefix=/usr; make; make install ./configure --prefix=/usr; make; make install . QEMU couldn't find spice-server installed in neither way. I just got

ERROR: User requested feature spice configure was not able to find it. Install spice-server(>=0.12.0) and spice-protocol(>=0.12.3) devel

returned.

I don't have this problem in ubuntu, I don't know how to fix it in a CentOS server. Does anybody have a solution?

Answer 1

I guess you are trying to build qemu with spice from source code.

That involves many dependences and configurations. Especially while you have system-installed 'qemu' running.

Maybe https://github.com/grizzlybears/sqb can help you.

It is a set of helper scripts to automatically do the follwing:

1. Install build depend.
2. Get code from offical repository
3. Get 'fedora base cloud image' as test image
4. Autogen/configure/build qemu with spice in local dir, touch nothing in system 5.Run test VM using our hand-made 'qemu'
5. Open spice console to the VM, if you have 'spice-gtk-tools' installed

Answer 2

您应该首先手动克隆spice-protocol并执行./autogen.sh && ./configure &&make &&make install并导出PKG_CONFIG_PATH export PKG_CONFIG_PATH={your pkg config path}
