Building Xapi
From Xen
Contents
What is xapi ?
Who is this document for?
- People wanting to compile xapi on Archlinux (I’m not talking about _running_ it, just compile it for now).
Build from source prerequisites
You will need:
- the normal build tools (yaourt -S base-devel, maybe more…)
- Xen 4.2 and blktap headers (yaourt -S xen blktap-git)
- the OCaml compiler (at least version 3.12.1)
- the OCaml package manager, OPAM
