How to build -dev extensions?

[Juanito]

If /usr/local/include/spice exists, symlink that file into it.

If /usr/local/include/spice doesn't exist, symlink the folder /usr/local/include/spice-protocol/spice to /usr/local/include/spice

Had a wrong directory in the extension. Fixed it, still breaks at the same place though.
Now we are here:

/usr/local/bin/ld: cannot find -lspice-server
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

[/s]

IT BUILT! ....I didn't install the non-dev extension properly.

Ugh, I've got a bunch of dangling extensions with different names (how do you unload an extension properly if I updated it).

Thank you. I now know how to make -dev extensions as well as a lot of things I didn't want to know. I'll carry on in the qemu thread.

either /usr/local/lib/spice-server.so is not present or you need to issue the command "sudo ldconfig".

You can't unload an extension, but you can overwrite it with something different - note that in most cases "sudo make install" will overwrite an existing loaded extension.

Note also, that if you place your updated extension in, for example, /mnt/sdb1/tce/optional/upgrade, it will replace your existing extension on the next reboot.
