[PATCH 0/6] docs: Improve and clarify information how to compile and install libvirt

Posted by Peter Krempa 1 year, 7 months ago

As a first step encourage users to use packages provided by the distro
rather than risking messing up their system.

Improve the rest too especially noting how to ensure that the build has
required functionality compiled in.
