Hi,

I am trying to follow the basic procedure described here

https://github.com/oVirt/vdsm

This is not a good place to look for the instructions. The right place is:

https://ovirt.org/develop/developer-guide/vdsm/developers.html

 

to build vdsm rpm from source on my CentOS Linux release 7.6.1810 (Core) host.

had to add some dependencies on the way ofcourse, so at that point i am  able to make most of it except for python error described below resulting from the "make rpm" part of procedure.

Am I missing something?

This is a good topic for devel, adding.

 

Thanks

Never had this error.

After you prepare the host as described in:

https://ovirt.org/develop/developer-guide/vdsm/developers.html#installing-the-required-repositories

https://ovirt.org/develop/developer-guide/vdsm/developers.html#getting-the-source

https://ovirt.org/develop/developer-guide/vdsm/developers.html#installing-the-required-packages

is to install latest release of vdsm:

    yum install vdsm vdsm-client

Otherwise you will have to painfully install some of the packages or install lot of packages you

don't need (e.g. mostly lot of hooks).

When your host is ready, you can build vdsm from source and upgrade the installed packages:

    git clean -dxf

    ./autogen.sh --system --enable-timestamp

    make

    rm -rf ~/rpmbuild

    make rpm

    (cd ~/rpmbuild/RPMS && sudo yum upgrade */*.rpm)

I think we should drop instructions in vdsm README, and point to the page on ovirt.org,

or replace them with short version that works and easier to maintain.
