Hi Nick,I would suggest to get at least minimum Xen (even a year old working) following steps mentioned earlier. Do you have any further details from logs? Maybe some dependency needs to be installed manually. This is most probably the case. Other issue I came across was that some binaries were expected at specific locations, i.e. at /usr/bin vs /bin which caused xen installation wizard to fail. Another option is to give it a try, install LTS 14.04 based on ISO.Pull git commit from the beginning of year and give it a try. It should not complain about these missing dependencies. This should give you working xen installation. Once this is working, you have base system and can give it a try with more up to date version. Unfortunately I don't have time now to try with Ubuntu 15.xx and building Xen. btw. I'm also hesitating to upgrade my environment to more recent version as it just works. Sometimes some tasks are getting stuck, but generally speaking it works. Dawid On 2015-12-31 12:26, Nick Betteridge wrote: Hi Dawid Thanks for the offer of helping out. I've just spent the whole morning installing various versions of centos (6.7 minimal, minimal-gui; 7 minimal) and when trying to use buildroot to compile the rpms I always get the same error (below). I already know that buildroot Ubuntu 14.04 will fail due to the version of findlib required is not available for 14.04. I'm running Ubuntu 15.04 as a desktop and buildroot doesn't build on that either. This is from a minimum centos 7.2.15.11 install and then following the instructions for buildroot, everything works fine up until make - as mentioned above, this is the same error for 6.7 too - : [nick@igor buildroot]$ make Populating build directory: _build...done Updating dependencies...

Having said that, I'm a bit afraid to update them with the latest build. Maybe the problem is with one of the latest revisions. The one I'm using is back from the beginning of the year and I've installed separately ffs build. Please check the mailing list archive. I've used LTS 14.04 as build host too.

It just takes so much effort to get it running. The easiest for me would be to share with you packages I've built directly from sources. But equally, you could prefer to get specific git commit and follow same instructions I did. More or less at the high level I did just follow standard instructions. I did run into some problems with ffs and putting it on ZFS, but this is different story. You can certainly find my posts within archive. The issue I did fall into was: https://github.com/xenserver/buildroot/pull/580 Check the buildroot instructions please. If you'd still have questions, let me know. btw. I might reply with delays, maybe even next week as have some commitments.

I've never been able to install xapi onto ubuntu via buildroot - I originally tried on 14.04, and then upgraded my desktop to Ubuntu 15.04 to deal with findlib issues. I'm at the point where I've got the xapi packages to compile via opam but now need to try and find a harness to take those packages and build something that will allow be to run something. Recently got hold of another machine to try out buildroot with centos. Installed centos 7 and buildroot failed straightaway with a findlib make failure. This is all a real shame as it is a great bit of software but there seems to be no qos built in to make any form of build working straight out of the box - things are adjusted within the buildroot scripts and then nothing is tested to make sure that the fix works. No hair left to pull out. Cheers Nick On 30/12/15 10:01, Dawid Kowalski wrote:Hi Nick, I've had some problems installing Xen on Ubuntu 14.04 hence I've went ahead and built all packages locally.

I'd like to build the installation/server from the installed libraries - could someone possibly point a finger to where I might find information on how to do this?
