[Xen-users] Compiling xen tools without external downloads?

[Benjamin Schweikert <b.schweikert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
when compiling xen tools, some external archiv will get downloaded and compiled:

grub-0.97.tar.gz, newlib-1.16.0.tar.gz, lwip-1.3.0.tar.gz, pciutils-2.2.9.tar.bz2, zlib-1.2.3.tar.gz, ipxe-git-v1.0.0.tar.gz

Some of these are already on the build system (like zlib) and will get build and installed twice on the system. I thinking of an security issue like e.g. zlib has an bug but wont get fixed, because xen does not use the system ones.

Is there a way to use only the pakages which are installed on the system and not build them seperately?

Ben
