AN!Wiki :: How To :: Compiling the Xen Hypervisor and dom0 on RHEL6 |
This tutorial assumes that you have a Red Hat Network account and, as such, makes use of repositories accessible via RHN only. I will try to create a totally open tutorial when CentOS 6 is released.
Setting Up The Build Environment
yum -y groupinstall "Development Tools"
Configure Repos
Add the following repositories to your RHN.
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Optional (v. 6)
Enable the source RPM repo
vim /etc/yum.repos.d/rhel-src.repo
[rhel-src]
name=Red Hat Enterprise Linux $releasever - $basearch - Source
baseurl=ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/$releasever/en/os/SRPMS/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release
