Introduction

This is the golang guest utilities for Citrix Hypervisor

XenStore CLI

xe-guest-utilities.git/xenstore

Citrix Hypervisor Guest Utilities

xe-guest-utilities.git/xe-daemon

Build Instructions

Go development environment is required to build the guest utilities.

With modern go versions (later than 1.11)

Type make or make build to build the xenstore and xe-daemon.

• The binarys will be in build/obj
• In build/stage are all required files and where they go when installed.
• In build/dist is a tarball with all files,symlinks and permissions.

Older Go versions

Earliest version that has all required features is 1.10

1. GOPATH

Go gets librarys from the GOPATH, so for this to work, you need read/write permissions there. If in doubt, set GOPATH to a temporary location, ie: export GOPATH=$(pwd) sets GOPATH to the local folder

2. external library

This project uses the golang.org/x/sys/unix library, so you will need to install that:

go get golang.org/x/sys/unix

this will install it and all its dependency's to $GOPATH/src.

3. Get this project

For go to find all files in this project it needs to be in the GOPATH This is easiest done by just putting it into $GOPATH/src/xe-guest-utilities

git clone https://github.com/xenserver/xe-guest-utilities.git $GOPATH/src/xe-guest-utilities

4 Build

Go into the right directory cd $GOPATH/src/xe-guest-utilities/

now you can make build or make.

resulting files are in build/, same layout as explained above
