Hi Mate, I was following this link - http://blogs.citrix.com/2012/10/04/convert-a-raw-image-to-xenserver-vhd/
I get the following error while compilation - libvhd.c:707: error: implicit declaration of function ‘mktime’ libvhd.c: In function ‘vhd_time_to_string’: libvhd.c:720: error: storage size of ‘tm’ isn’t known libvhd.c:723: error: invalid application of ‘sizeof’ to incomplete type ‘struct tm’ libvhd.c:733: error: implicit declaration of function ‘ctime_r’ libvhd.c: In function ‘vhd_initialize_footer’: libvhd.c:2447: error: implicit declaration of function ‘time’ make[6]: *** [libvhd.o] Error 1 make[6]: Leaving directory `/root/xen-4.2.0/tools/blktap2/vhd/lib' make[5]: *** [subdir-all-lib] Error 2 make[5]: Leaving directory `/root/xen-4.2.0/tools/blktap2/vhd' make[4]: *** [subdirs-all] Error 2 make[4]: Leaving directory `/root/xen-4.2.0/tools/blktap2/vhd' make[3]: *** [subdir-all-vhd] Error 2 make[3]: Leaving directory `/root/xen-4.2.0/tools/blktap2' make[2]: *** [subdirs-all] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/xen-4.2.0/tools/blktap2' make[1]: *** [subdir-all-blktap2] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/xen-4.2.0/tools' make: *** [subdirs-all] Error 2 I have installed all relevant packages / binaries for the errors I got while executing ./configure. But still the above error. Any pointers ?
