glibc in Fedora is currently configured with `--enable-obsolete-rpc', so I guess we can see which way the wind is blowing. (1) This changes our configure script to prefer libtirpc if it is available. If libtirpc is _not_ available then: (a) Headers must be located in <rpc/xdr.h>, or the user must supply the right CFLAGS. (b) XDR functions must be located in one of -lportablexdr, -lrpc, -lxdr, -lnsl or no library at all (ie. -lc), and the user must set LDFLAGS if needed. (2) We no longer add these paths automatically to $(CFLAGS)/$(LIBS). Any part of libguestfs which needs <rpc/*.h> or the xdr_* functions must use $(RPC_CFLAGS)/$(RPC_LIBS) explicitly. (3) Previously Mac OS X had a workaround for the broken 64 bit support in the supplied rpcgen. This workaround "activates" all the time if you use tirpc, so breaking Linux after the above changes. tirpc is supported on OS X, so I think it's just better to use that rather than the broken rpcgen. For that reason I removed the workaround completely. Thanks: Roy Keene
This directory contains miscellaneous manual pages which don't fit elsewhere. Most libguestfs documentation is in manual pages. The source for those manual pages are POD files (*.pod), and they are normally located next to the source files they relate to (eg. guestfish documentation is in fish/guestfish.pod). All manual pages are available online at http://libguestfs.org/ The main API documentation is: http://libguestfs.org/guestfs.3.html
