In this section we are going to get the latest source code for the next pre-release
version of Xen and build it from scratch. We will then install it on our base Fedora
system and use it.
Time for Action??”Compile Xen
We are going to retrieve the source code, install all the required dependencies,
compile the source and, finally, install it on our Fedora Core 6 system.
1. Create a directory that will be used to store the Xen source files and change
to this new directory.
mkdir ~/xen-source
cd ~/xen-source
2. Xen source is stored in a Mercurial revision control repository. You will need
to install the mercurial client that can be used for checking out the source
code. Use yum to install mercurial.
yum install mercurial
Now we are going to checkout the latest version of the Xen source files. There
are several different versions of Xen in the mercurial repository:
xen-3.0.4-testing.hg: pre-release of the next 3.0.4 version
of Xen
xen-3.0.3-testing.hg: pre-release of the next 3.0.3 version
of Xen
xen-3.0.2-testing.hg: pre-release of the next 3.
