GNUTLS uses gcrypt for its crypto functions. gcrypt requires that the app/library initializes threading before using it. We don't want to force apps using libvirt to know about gcrypt, so we make virInitialize init threading on their behalf. This location also ensures libvirtd has initialized it correctly. This initialization is required even if libvirt itself were only using one thread, since another non-libvirt library (eg GTK-VNC) could also be using gcrypt from another thread * src/libvirt.c: Register thread functions for gcrypt * configure.in: Add -lgcrypt to linker flags
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
