In trying to compile an old version of libvirt (to see if I can get some old patches up to date, see https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2014-March/msg00106.html), I get the error:



getopt.h:85:29: fatal error: getopt-pfx-core.h: No such file or directory



when I run make (after running ./autogen.sh).



This is on libvirt commit aa50a5c.



In searching for this error ("fatal error: getopt-pfx-core.h: No such file or directory") I find very few results, but it does not seem specific to libvirt, which makes sense since the error seems to be something with getopt.

          Make sure that you are building with a clean tree.



          In this case, I had files from a build of a much newer commit.



          Running:



          (warning, this deletes stuff in the working tree that is not in git!)



          git reset --hard HEAD
          git clean -fdx
          git clean -fdX


          and then doing the build again worked.
