it doesn't need to actually download anything, it will barf if mercucial
isn't present.

Hi Xen'ist

New on virtualization and as usual some issues when I try to install
Xen, from source packages, especially version 3.2

All prerequisites are done,

So, I unpacked both source packages : xen-3.2.0.tar.gz &
linux-2.6.18-xen-3.2.0.tar.gz inside "/usr/src" directory.

Move to "/usr/src"

root@xen-master:/usr/src# ll
total 64
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 2008-03-09 12:46 linux ->
./linux-2.6.18-xen-3.2.0/
drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 4096 2008-03-09 13:19 linux-2.6.18-xen-3.2.0/
drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 4096 2008-03-09 13:47 xen-3.1.3/
drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 2008-03-09 13:36 xen-3.2.0/

Change to directory "xen-3.2.0" and execute "make world" and got the
following error message:

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------

It seems that Mercurial tools must be installed and are also
prerequisites (?)

Whereas from version 3.1.3, things seem to be good. At the time of
writing Linux Kernel Linux-2.6.18.8 is building itself.


Q. How to build Xen-3.2 without Mercurial tools ?


Many Thanks for your help.
