How can I install and compile xen from the source code?



I want to modify live migration code of Xen. I can only install it using Apt package management. However, I want to install it using source code to be able to compile it after modification. Which steps should I follow to do that?





which platform do you use?

First, you need to clone XEN repository:


$ git clone git://xenbits.xen.org/xen.git



Go to dir


$ cd xen



Switch git branch to the latest version:


$ git checkout stable-4.11



Or choose which one is needed for you:


$ git branch -av



To build all components (hypervisor, tools, etc) use dist target:


$ make dist



If you wish to just (re)build a single component you can use the appropriate dist-COMPONENT target:


$ make dist-xen
$ make dist-tools
$ make dist-docs
.....etc.....



If your host machine and target machine are different you can use cross compiler to build it:


$ make dist-xen XEN_TARGET_ARCH=<target_arch> CROSS_COMPILE=<path_to_compiler>



If you build for ARM platform you can take one which provided by Linaro:



https://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/latest/



A lot of good information exists on XEN wiki:



https://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Help:Contents





I followed the steps, it needs to build some additional dependencies. Finally, it worked. So, thank you very much.

Firebase Auth - with Email and Password - Check user already registered

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Firebase Auth - with Email and Password - Check user already registered I want to check when a user attempts to signup with createUserWithEmailAndPassword() in Firebase user Authentication method, this user is already registered with my app. createUserWithEmailAndPassword() 8 Answers 8 To detect whether a user with that email address already exists, you can detect when the call to createUserWithEmailAndPassword () fails with auth/email-already-in-use . I see that @Srinivasan just posted an answer for this. createUserWithEmailAndPassword () auth/email-already-in-use Alternatively, you can detect that an email address is already used by calling fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() (previous called fetchProvidersForEmail() ). fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() fetchProvidersForEmail() When the user trying to create an user with same email address, the task response will be "Response: The email address is already in use by another account." mFirebas

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Dynamically update html content plain JS So I have a script bound in my index.html, which literally has to fetch an array of jsons from an api, then dynamically update my page when get response. But as a result I'm getting an as the only update of my page. here is my script fetch(url) .then((resp) => resp.json()) .then((resp) => resp.results.forEach(item => fetch(item.url) .then((response)=> response.json()) .then((response) => pokeArr.push(response)) .catch(console.log) ) ).catch(console.log) const filler = () => if(!pokeArr) return 0 pokeArr.map((i,j)=> return `<tr>$i.name</tr>` ) const pokeindex = () => document.getElementById('a').appendChild(document.createElement(filler())) pokeindex() When I'm consoling it, I can see in the console all the responses I get, so I'm at least doing the fetching part right. What's parberakan ? What's pokeArr ? – T.J. Crowder Aug 8 at 12

How to determine optimal route across keyboard

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP How to determine optimal route across keyboard I'm trying to automate the typing process in a video game. Players are given an on-screen QWERTY keyboard layout that they can navigate with the control stick (up, down, left, right) in order to select a letter to type. I was wondering if there was a module for Python (or some other resource I could explore) that would help my program find a path across the keyboard as it types each letter in a given message. In other words, if the first letter typed was "A" and the next letter was "B", the module would know that the program should move 1 space down on the keyboard and 4 spaces to the right. Currently, I have the program resetting to the "G" key after each letter is typed (allowing me to use fixed-directions as the program parses each character in the desired message). As you can imagine, this is quite inefficient and defeats the purpose of automating the typing in the fir
