The QEMU x86 emulator |

INSTALLATION |
| 5 |
------------ |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
Type |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
./configure --interp-prefix=/usr/local/qemu-i386 |
| 10 |
make |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
to build qemu and libqemu.a. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Type |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
make install |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
to install QEMU in /usr/local/bin |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
* On x86 you should be able to launch any program by using the |
| 21 |
libraries installed on your PC. For example: |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
./qemu -L / /bin/ls |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
* On non x86 CPUs, you need first to download at least an x86 glibc |
| 26 |
(qemu-XXX-i386-glibc21.tar.gz on the qemu web page). Ensure that |
| 27 |
LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not set: |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Then you can launch the precompiled 'ls' x86 executable: |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
./qemu /usr/local/qemu-i386/bin/ls-i386 |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
You can look at /usr/local/qemu-i386/bin/qemu-conf.sh so that QEMU is |
| 36 |
automatically launched by the Linux kernel when you try to launch x86 |
| 37 |
executables. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Tested tool versions |
| 40 |
-------------------- |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
In order to compile QEMU succesfully, it is very important that you |
| 43 |
have the right tools. The most important one is gcc. I cannot guaranty |
| 44 |
that QEMU works if you do not use a tested gcc version. Look at |
| 45 |
'configure' and 'Makefile' if you want to make a different gcc |
| 46 |
version work. |

[1] On Alpha, QEMU needs the gcc 'visibility' attribute only available |
| 65 |
for gcc version >= 3.3. |
| 66 |
[2] Linux >= 2.4.20 is necessary for precise exception support |
| 67 |
(untested). |
| 68 |
[3] 2.4.9-ac10-rmk2-np1-cerf2 |
| 69 |
|
| 70 |
[4] gcc 2.95.x generates invalid code when using too many register |
| 71 |
variables. You must use gcc 3.x on PowerPC. |
