or under gdb:
 
./run gdb --args virt-cat [virt-cat opts...]

 
This also works with sudo (eg. if you need root access for libvirt or to access a block device):
 
sudo ./run virt-cat -d LinuxGuest /etc/passwd

 
To set environment variables, you can either do:
 
LIBGUESTFS_HV=/my/qemu ./run guestfish

 
or:
or:
./run env LIBGUESTFS_HV=/my/qemu guestfish

 
F<local*> FILES
 
Files in the top source directory that begin with the prefix F<local*> are ignored by git. These files can contain local configuration or scripts that you need to build libguestfs.
 
I have a file called F<localconfigure> which is a simple wrapper around F<autogen.sh> containing local configure customizations that I need. It looks like this:
 
. localenv
./autogen.sh \
-C \
--enable-werror \
"$@"

 
So I can use this to build libguestfs:
So I can use this to build libguestfs:
./localconfigure && make

./localconfigure && make

If there is a file in the top build directory called F<localenv>, then it will be sourced by C<make>. This file can contain any local environment variables needed, eg. for skipping tests:
 
# Skip this test, it is broken.
export SKIP_TEST_BTRFS_FSCK=1

# Use an alternate python binary.
export PYTHON=python3
# Skip this test, it is broken.
export SKIP_TEST_BTRFS_FSCK=1

Note that F<localenv> is included by the top Makefile (so it’s a Makefile fragment). But if it is also sourced by your F<localconfigure> script then it is used as a shell script.
 
SELECTED ./configure SETTINGS
 
There are many C<./configure> options. Use:
 
./configure --help

 
to list them all. This section covers some of the more important ones.
