I interpreted CONFIG_VHOST_USER as controlling only QEMU's vhost-user device frontends. However, virtiofsd and contrib/ vhost-user device backends are also controlled by CONFIG_VHOST_USER. Make the vhost-user-blk server depend on CONFIG_VHOST_USER for consistency.
Now the following error is printed when the vhost-user-blk server is enabled without CONFIG_VHOST_USER: $ ./configure --disable-vhost-user --enable-vhost-user-blk ... ../meson.build:761:8: ERROR: Problem encountered: vhost_user_blk_server requires vhost-user support Suggested-by: Philippe Mathieu-Daudé <phi...@redhat.com> Suggested-by: Alex Bennée <alex.ben...@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefa...@redhat.com> --- meson.build | 5 ++++- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/meson.build b/meson.build index 4f5c916557..ee3719da39 100644 --- a/meson.build +++ b/meson.build @@ -751,11 +751,14 @@ statx_test = ''' has_statx = cc.links(statx_test) -have_vhost_user_blk_server = (targetos == 'linux') +have_vhost_user_blk_server = (targetos == 'linux' and + 'CONFIG_VHOST_USER' in config_host) if get_option('vhost_user_blk_server').enabled() if targetos != 'linux' error('vhost_user_blk_server requires linux') + elif 'CONFIG_VHOST_USER' not in config_host + error('vhost_user_blk_server requires vhost-user support') endif elif get_option('vhost_user_blk_server').disabled() or not have_system have_vhost_user_blk_server = false -- 2.28.0
