Really need some help here ...
Hi,
I have been trying to build either RPMs or DEB packages for Cloudstack
4.0.2 with VMWare enabled, but have been unsuccessful. I can build
successfully using Maven (mvn -P deps -D nonoss) but the DEB/RPM build
processes apparently rebuild on their own without using the artifacts
created by the Maven build.
We are currently using the Cloudstack 3.0.2 version, but want to take
advantage of the latest features available with 4.0.2.
Can anyone please help? Is there a way to install what is being built for
DEB/RPMs and then manually modify that installed Cloudstack 4.0.2
environment to support VMWare?
Regards,
--Jim L.

There is a bug in the 4.0.x Debian/rules file that excludes the
optional -Dnonoss flag. Look at the 4.1 branch copy and note the env
variable I added to support optional mvn flags during the packaging's
build step.

Hi David,
I know Wido's DEBs do not have VMWare support (at least, the last time I
tried to used them). I'll give the RPM's a try, however.
In the meantime: is there additional documentation/wiki/back of a napkin
that explains how to build DEB or RPM packages with VMWare support? I
would like to have that ability if I decide to write additional plugins for
some projects I'm working on. I did try to "hand-roll" an installation on
Ubuntu by taking the 3.0.2 version I have now and using that as a template
to modify the 4.0.2 /etc/cloud/management/components.xml file, adding the
adapters VMWare Discoverer and VMWare HypervisorGuru to the config. I also
added the /usr/share/java/cloud-plugins directory with the VMWare base and
hypervisor jars ( in addition to the vmware-vim25.jar, vmware-apputils,jar,
etc., files), but I encountered numerous classpath/missing jar issues. I
(think I) finally resolved those, but the VMwareGuru component will not
instantiate/initialize, so I put all of that on hold until I could get some
help.
So, I'll give Wido's repo a try on CentOS but it would be great to know
how to do this on my own as well and would prefer Ubuntu if possible.
Thanks for responding.
Regards,
--Jim L.

Hi Jim,
So while I am happy to help you build those packages, do you really
need to build them yourself?
Wido's yum repo has packages with VMware support (I can't speak for
the debs, I don't think 4.0.2 is there yet)
