make fails

[djandruczyk]

~/git/xencenter-ovf$ make
Makefile:34: /common.mk: No such file or directory
rm -f /version.inc

/version.inc
/bin/sh: 1: cannot create /version.inc: Permission denied
make: Circular /common.mk <- /common.mk dependency dropped.
mkdir -p /
cp /common.mk
cp: missing destination file operand after '/common.mk'
Try 'cp --help' for more information.
Makefile:85: recipe for target '/common.mk' failed
make: *** [/common.mk] Error 1

It seems like pieces are missing.
Thoughts?

I've the same problem!

Confirmed this exact same problem as well.

If there are perhaps prerequisites for the make-based build to work, then it would be a great help if we could get some clues as to what they are.

Anyone? Bueller?

I really need to be able to build this as I have a couple projects stalled due to needing to convert them to run in a Xen environment. Any help in getting this project to actually 'make' as the brief README states would be really appreciated.

XenCenter has the functionality to convert OVF/OVA/VHDs into Xen VMs, if you go to File -> Import...

It can be installed from https://www.citrix.com/downloads/xenserver/product-software/xenserver-72-standard-edition.html

Thank you for the follow-up. Unfortunately that process is failing for our attempts at importing a working OVA (built in vmware) for our Xen 6.5 environment, hence my hopes of trying to get the OS-fixup ISO component operational in attempt of furthering/debugging the import attempts.

Your best bet is to file a bug at https://bugs.xenserver.org/ so we can investigate this and potentially get a fix in XenCenter, since this is something that we support and would want to fix :)

XenServer does have a conversion manager which does what you need, but it's a paid feature: http://docs.citrix.com/content/dam/docs/en-us/xenserver/current-release/downloads/xenserver-conversion-manager-guide.pdf

make: Circular /common.mk <- /common.mk dependency dropped.
mkdir -p /
cp  /common.mk
cp: missing destination file operand after '/common.mk'
