You might want to try building from the tarballs.  You won't need
OCaml to build from the tarballs (although that is available for Mac
OS X, see: http://godi.camlcity.org/).

If you want to see how we build for Fedora, see:

http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/devel/libguestfs/libguestfs.spec?view=markup

If building from git, make sure you start with the ./bootstrap script,
otherwise you won't get gnulib.  Generally to build from git (from a
fresh clone) you would do:

  ./bootstrap
  ./autogen.sh [any configure args]
  make

Also you'll probably want to disable the appliance/ and daemon/
directories since you will need to copy an appliance and daemon over
from (eg) a Fedora or Debian box.  Just remove those directories from
SUBDIRS in Makefile.am.
