Lispvirt

Common LISP bindings for Libvirt


Lispvirt is a Common Lisp bindings for Libvirt which is a C library designed to provide tools and facilites for virtualization, independently of hypervisors and platforms.

This Lisp library is using cl-cffi to access some methods of libvirt library.

Requirements


Lispvirt has many requirements.

For Common Lisp:

  • slime
  • cl-cffi
  • cl-alexandria
  • cl-babel
  • cl-asdf
  • cl-launch

For libvirt:

  • libvirt (>= 1.2)

For testing:

  • cl-xlunit

For examples:

  • cl-xmls

Development


If you want to clone the lisvirt code for using, contributing or testing, you can clone our repository hosted at GitHub.

Using HTTPS:

  • git clone https://github.com/jcfaracco/lispvirt.git

Using GIT protocol:

  • git clone git://github.com/jcfaracco/lispvirt.git

Install


To install Lispvirt into the correct place, use the commands provided by Makefile.

  • sudo make install

If you decided to clean Lispvirt from the system, there is a clean option to do it.

  • sudo make clean

The installation process will add the libraries into the directory used by Common Lisp to load its modules using cl-asdf.

Testing


If you enable testing you just need to lead the module lispvirt-tests.

It will force load the module and run the tests into the test case class.

To load this module you need to install the test module. There is an option into Makefile to install the module.

  • sudo make install_tests
