Problem when compiling hyperd(for xen) from source

[Ddnirvana]

Hi, guys,

I am trying to use hyperd(or runv) in xen.
However, when I compile it, it fails.
The error logs are:

My go version is

go version go1.9.2 linux/amd64

The hyperd codes I used are downloaded from the git, also, I have tried the latest version(v1.0.0) release and it ends with the same fail log...

Any advices are welcomed!! Thanks very much!

I am not sure whether it is the root cause, but xen 4.4 is not supported.

• For xen full virtualization, 4.5 at least;
• For xen paravirtualization, 4.9 at least;

hi ,@gnawux. Thanks for your quickly response! But release : 4.4.0-98-generic actually is the version of the domain0 kernel, and the xen version I used isxen_version : 4.9.0(You can also see this in the previous result of xl info)..

@Ddnirvana sorry, I mistake read the messages... Will take a further look soon.

[gnawux]

@Ddnirvana checked and this is caused by golang cgo update. Will update the code for the compatible with latest go compiler.

[Ddnirvana]

hi, @gnawux Please notify me when you finish updating the code :) Thanks very much!

[gnawux]

This is a bug introduced by hyperhq/runv#597 , and will be fixed soon.

It also affected #690

@Ddnirvana xen build has been fixed on master, and this issue is auto closed by github. If you still suffer from this issue, you may reopen it.
