You must also compile nbdkit, enabling the VDDK plugin. nbdkit E<ge>
1.1.25 is recommended, but it is usually best to compile from the git
tree.

Compile nbdkit as described in the sources (see link above).
You do B<not> need to run C<make install> because you can run nbdkit
from its source directory. The source directory has a shell script
called F<nbdkit> which runs the locally built copy of nbdkit and its
plugins. So set C<$PATH> to point to the nbdkit top build directory
(that is, the directory containing the shell script called F<nbdkit>),
eg:
export PATH=/path/to/nbdkit-1.1.x:$PATH
nbdkit E<ge> 1.6 is recommended, as it ships with the VDDK plugin
enabled unconditionally.
