|
16 |
QEMU is a FAST! processor emulator using dynamic translation to |
17 |
achieve good emulation speed. |
18 |
|
19 |
QEMU has two operating modes: |
20 |
|
21 |
@itemize @minus |
22 |
|
23 |
@item |
24 |
Full system emulation. In this mode, QEMU emulates a full system (for |
25 |
example a PC), including a processor and various peripherials. It can |
26 |
be used to launch different Operating Systems without rebooting the |
27 |
PC or to debug system code. |
28 |
|
29 |
@item |
30 |
User mode emulation (Linux host only). In this mode, QEMU can launch |
31 |
Linux processes compiled for one CPU on another CPU. It can be used to |
32 |
launch the Wine Windows API emulator (@url{http://www.winehq.org}) or |
33 |
to ease cross-compilation and cross-debugging. |
34 |
|
35 |
@end itemize |
36 |
|
37 |
As QEMU requires no host kernel driver to run, it is very safe and |
38 |
easy to use. |
39 |
|
40 |
For system emulation, the following hardware targets are supported: |
41 |
@itemize |
42 |
@item PC (x86 processor) |
43 |
@item PREP (PowerPC processor) |
44 |
@item PowerMac (PowerPC processor, in progress) |
45 |
@end itemize |
46 |
|
47 |
For user emulation, x86, PowerPC, ARM, and SPARC CPUs are supported. |
48 |

@section Introduction |
77 |
|
78 |
@c man begin DESCRIPTION |
79 |
|
80 |
The QEMU System emulator simulates a complete PC. |
81 |
|
82 |
In order to meet specific user needs, two versions of QEMU are |
83 |
available: |
84 |
|
85 |
@enumerate |
86 |
|
87 |
@item |
88 |
@code{qemu-fast} uses the host Memory Management Unit (MMU) to |
89 |
simulate the x86 MMU. It is @emph{fast} but has limitations because |
90 |
the whole 4 GB address space cannot be used and some memory mapped |
91 |
peripherials cannot be emulated accurately yet. Therefore, a specific |
92 |
guest Linux kernel can be used (@xref{linux_compile}) as guest |
93 |
OS. |
94 |
|
95 |
Moreover there is no separation between the host and target address |
96 |
spaces, so it offers no security (the target OS can modify the |
97 |
@code{qemu-fast} code by writing at the right addresses). |
98 |
|
99 |
@item |
100 |
@code{qemu} uses a software MMU. It is about @emph{two times slower} |
101 |
but gives a more accurate emulation and a complete separation between |
102 |
the host and target address spaces. |
103 |
|
104 |
@end enumerate |
105 |
|
106 |
QEMU emulates the following PC peripherials: |
107 |
|
108 |
@itemize @minus |
109 |
@item |
110 |
i440FX host PCI bridge and PIIX3 PCI to ISA bridge |
111 |
@item |
112 |
Cirrus CLGD 5446 PCI VGA card or dummy VGA card with Bochs VESA |
113 |
extensions (hardware level, including all non standard modes). |
114 |
@item |
115 |
PS/2 mouse and keyboard |
116 |
@item |
117 |
2 PCI IDE interfaces with hard disk and CD-ROM support |
118 |
@item |
119 |
Floppy disk |
120 |
@item |
121 |
NE2000 PCI network adapters |
122 |
@item |
123 |
Serial ports |
124 |
@item |
125 |
Soundblaster 16 card |
126 |
@end itemize |
127 |
|
128 |
QEMU uses the PC BIOS from the Bochs project and the Plex86/Bochs LGPL |
129 |
VGA BIOS. |
130 |
|
131 |
@c man end |
132 |
|
133 |
@section Quick Start |
134 |
|
135 |
Download and uncompress the linux image (@file{linux.img}) and type: |
136 |
|
137 |
@example |
138 |
qemu linux.img |
139 |
@end example |
140 |
|
141 |
Linux should boot and give you a prompt. |
142 |
|
143 |
@section Invocation |
144 |
|
145 |
@example |
146 |
@c man begin SYNOPSIS |
147 |
usage: qemu [options] [disk_image] |
148 |
@c man end |
149 |
@end example |
150 |
|
151 |
@c man begin OPTIONS |
152 |
@var{disk_image} is a raw hard disk image for IDE hard disk 0. |
153 |
|
154 |
General options: |
155 |
@table @option |
156 |
@item -fda file |
157 |
@item -fdb file |
158 |
Use @var{file} as floppy disk 0/1 image (@xref{disk_images}). You can |
159 |
use the host floppy by using @file{/dev/fd0} as filename. |
160 |
|
161 |
@item -hda file |
162 |
@item -hdb file |
163 |
@item -hdc file |
164 |
@item -hdd file |
165 |
Use @var{file} as hard disk 0, 1, 2 or 3 image (@xref{disk_images}). |
166 |
|
167 |
@item -cdrom file |
168 |
Use @var{file} as CD-ROM image (you cannot use @option{-hdc} and and |
169 |
@option{-cdrom} at the same time). You can use the host CD-ROM by |
170 |
using @file{/dev/cdrom} as filename. |
171 |
|
172 |
@item -boot [a|c|d] |
173 |
Boot on floppy (a), hard disk (c) or CD-ROM (d). Hard disk boot is |
174 |
the default. |
175 |
|
176 |
@item -snapshot |
177 |
Write to temporary files instead of disk image files. In this case, |
178 |
the raw disk image you use is not written back. You can however force |
179 |
the write back by pressing @key{C-a s} (@xref{disk_images}). |
180 |
|
181 |
@item -m megs |
182 |
Set virtual RAM size to @var{megs} megabytes. Default is 128 MB. |
183 |
|
184 |
@item -nographic |
185 |
|
186 |
Normally, QEMU uses SDL to display the VGA output. With this option, |
187 |
you can totally disable graphical output so that QEMU is a simple |
188 |
command line application. The emulated serial port is redirected on |
189 |
the console. Therefore, you can still use QEMU to debug a Linux kernel |
190 |
with a serial console. |
191 |
|
192 |
@item -enable-audio |
193 |
|
194 |
The SB16 emulation is disabled by default as it may give problems with |
195 |
Windows. You can enable it manually with this option. |
196 |
|
197 |
@item -localtime |
198 |
Set the real time clock to local time (the default is to UTC |
199 |
time). This option is needed to have correct date in MS-DOS or |
200 |
Windows. |
201 |
|
202 |
@end table |
203 |
|
204 |
Network options: |
205 |
|
206 |
@table @option |
207 |
|
208 |
@item -n script |
209 |
Set TUN/TAP network init script [default=/etc/qemu-ifup]. This script |
210 |
is launched to configure the host network interface (usually tun0) |
211 |
corresponding to the virtual NE2000 card. |
212 |
|
213 |
@item -macaddr addr |
214 |
|
215 |
Set the mac address of the first interface (the format is |
216 |
aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff in hexa). The mac address is incremented for each |
217 |
new network interface. |
218 |
|
219 |
@item -tun-fd fd |
220 |
Assumes @var{fd} talks to a tap/tun host network interface and use |
221 |
it. Read @url{http://bellard.org/qemu/tetrinet.html} to have an |
222 |
example of its use. |
223 |
|
224 |
@item -user-net |
225 |
Use the user mode network stack. This is the default if no tun/tap |
226 |
network init script is found. |
227 |
|
228 |
@item -tftp prefix |
229 |
When using the user mode network stack, activate a built-in TFTP |
230 |
server. All filenames beginning with @var{prefix} can be downloaded |
231 |
from the host to the guest using a TFTP client. The TFTP client on the |
232 |
guest must be configured in binary mode (use the command @code{bin} of |
233 |
the Unix TFTP client). The host IP address on the guest is as usual |
234 |
10.0.2.2. |
235 |
|
236 |
@item -redir [tcp|udp]:host-port:[guest-host]:guest-port |
237 |
|
238 |
When using the user mode network stack, redirect incoming TCP or UDP |
239 |
connections to the host port @var{host-port} to the guest |
240 |
@var{guest-host} on guest port @var{guest-port}. If @var{guest-host} |
241 |
is not specified, its value is 10.0.2.15 (default address given by the |
242 |
built-in DHCP server). |
243 |
|
244 |
For example, to redirect host X11 connection from screen 1 to guest |
245 |
screen 0, use the following: |
246 |
|
247 |
@example |
248 |
# on the host |
249 |
qemu -redir tcp:6001::6000 [...] |
250 |
# this host xterm should open in the guest X11 server |
251 |
xterm -display :1 |
252 |
@end example |
253 |
|
254 |
To redirect telnet connections from host port 5555 to telnet port on |
255 |
the guest, use the following: |
256 |
|
257 |
@example |
258 |
# on the host |
259 |
qemu -redir tcp:5555::23 [...] |
260 |
telnet localhost 5555 |
261 |
@end example |
262 |
|
263 |
Then when you use on the host @code{telnet localhost 5555}, you |
264 |
connect to the guest telnet server. |
265 |
|
266 |
@item -dummy-net |
267 |
Use the dummy network stack: no packet will be received by the network |
268 |
cards. |
269 |
|
270 |
@end table |
271 |
|
272 |
Linux boot specific. When using this options, you can use a given |
273 |
Linux kernel without installing it in the disk image. It can be useful |
274 |
for easier testing of various kernels. |

@section Disk Images |
564 |
|
565 |
@subsection Raw disk images |
566 |
|
567 |
The disk images can simply be raw images of the hard disk. You can |
568 |
create them with the command: |
569 |
@example |
570 |
dd of=myimage bs=1024 seek=mysize count=0 |
571 |
@end example |
572 |
where @var{myimage} is the image filename and @var{mysize} is its size |
573 |
in kilobytes. |
574 |
|
575 |
@subsection Snapshot mode |
576 |
|
577 |
If you use the option @option{-snapshot}, all disk images are |
578 |
considered as read only. When sectors in written, they are written in |
579 |
a temporary file created in @file{/tmp}. You can however force the |
580 |
write back to the raw disk images by pressing @key{C-a s}. |
581 |
|
582 |
NOTE: The snapshot mode only works with raw disk images. |
583 |
|
584 |
@subsection Copy On Write disk images |
585 |
|
586 |
QEMU also supports user mode Linux |
587 |
(@url{http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/}) Copy On Write (COW) |
588 |
disk images. The COW disk images are much smaller than normal images |
589 |
as they store only modified sectors. They also permit the use of the |
590 |
same disk image template for many users. |
591 |
|
592 |
To create a COW disk images, use the command: |
593 |
|
594 |
@example |
595 |
qemu-mkcow -f myrawimage.bin mycowimage.cow |
596 |
@end example |
597 |
|
598 |
@file{myrawimage.bin} is a raw image you want to use as original disk |
599 |
image. It will never be written to. |
600 |
|
601 |
@file{mycowimage.cow} is the COW disk image which is created by |
602 |
@code{qemu-mkcow}. You can use it directly with the @option{-hdx} |
603 |
options. You must not modify the original raw disk image if you use |
604 |
COW images, as COW images only store the modified sectors from the raw |
605 |
disk image. QEMU stores the original raw disk image name and its |
606 |
modified time in the COW disk image so that chances of mistakes are |
607 |
reduced. |
608 |
|
609 |
If the raw disk image is not read-only, by pressing @key{C-a s} you |
610 |
can flush the COW disk image back into the raw disk image, as in |
611 |
snapshot mode. |
612 |
|
613 |
COW disk images can also be created without a corresponding raw disk |
614 |
image. It is useful to have a big initial virtual disk image without |
615 |
using much disk space. Use: |
616 |
|
617 |
@example |
618 |
qemu-mkcow mycowimage.cow 1024 |
619 |
@end example |
620 |
|
621 |
to create a 1 gigabyte empty COW disk image. |
622 |
|
623 |
NOTES: |
624 |
@enumerate |
625 |
@item |
626 |
COW disk images must be created on file systems supporting |
627 |
@emph{holes} such as ext2 or ext3. |
628 |
@item |
629 |
Since holes are used, the displayed size of the COW disk image is not |
630 |
the real one. To know it, use the @code{ls -ls} command. |
631 |
@end enumerate |
632 |
|
633 |
@subsection Convert VMware disk images to raw disk images |
634 |
|
635 |
You can use the tool @file{vmdk2raw} to convert VMware disk images to |
636 |
raw disk images directly usable by QEMU. The syntax is: |
637 |
@example |
638 |
vmdk2raw vmware_image output_image |
639 |
@end example |
640 |
|
641 |
@section Network emulation |
642 |
|
643 |
QEMU simulates up to 6 networks cards (NE2000 boards). Each card can |
644 |
be connected to a specific host network interface. |
645 |
|
646 |
@subsection Using tun/tap network interface |
647 |
|
648 |
This is the standard way to emulate network. QEMU adds a virtual |
649 |
network device on your host (called @code{tun0}), and you can then |
650 |
configure it as if it was a real ethernet card. |
651 |
|
652 |
As an example, you can download the @file{linux-test-xxx.tar.gz} |
653 |
archive and copy the script @file{qemu-ifup} in @file{/etc} and |
654 |
configure properly @code{sudo} so that the command @code{ifconfig} |
655 |
contained in @file{qemu-ifup} can be executed as root. You must verify |
656 |
that your host kernel supports the TUN/TAP network interfaces: the |
657 |
device @file{/dev/net/tun} must be present. |
658 |
|
659 |
See @ref{direct_linux_boot} to have an example of network use with a |
660 |
Linux distribution. |
661 |
|
662 |
@subsection Using the user mode network stack |
663 |
|
664 |
By using the option @option{-user-net} or if you have no tun/tap init |
665 |
script, QEMU uses a completely user mode network stack (you don't need |
666 |
root priviledge to use the virtual network). The virtual network |
667 |
configuration is the following: |
668 |
|
669 |
@example |
670 |
|
671 |
QEMU Virtual Machine <------> Firewall/DHCP server <-----> Internet |
672 |
(10.0.2.x) | (10.0.2.2) |
673 |
| |
674 |
----> DNS |
675 |
(10.0.2.3) |
676 |
@end example |
677 |
|
678 |
The QEMU VM behaves as if it was behind a firewall which blocks all |
679 |
incoming connections. You can use a DHCP client to automatically |
680 |
configure the network in the QEMU VM. |
681 |
|
682 |
In order to check that the user mode network is working, you can ping |
683 |
the address 10.0.2.2 and verify that you got an address in the range |
684 |
10.0.2.x from the QEMU virtual DHCP server. |
685 |
|
686 |
Note that @code{ping} is not supported reliably to the internet as it |
687 |
would require root priviledges. It means you can only ping the local |
688 |
router (10.0.2.2). |
689 |
|
690 |
When using the built-in TFTP server, the router is also the TFTP |
691 |
server. |
692 |
|
693 |
When using the @option{-redir} option, TCP or UDP connections can be |
694 |
redirected from the host to the guest. It allows for example to |
695 |
redirect X11, telnet or SSH connections. |
696 |

@section Direct Linux Boot |
699 |
|
700 |
This section explains how to launch a Linux kernel inside QEMU without |
701 |
having to make a full bootable image. It is very useful for fast Linux |
702 |
kernel testing. The QEMU network configuration is also explained. |
703 |
|
704 |
@enumerate |
705 |
@item |
706 |
Download the archive @file{linux-test-xxx.tar.gz} containing a Linux |
707 |
kernel and a disk image. |
708 |
|
709 |
@item Optional: If you want network support (for example to launch X11 examples), you |
710 |
must copy the script @file{qemu-ifup} in @file{/etc} and configure |
711 |
properly @code{sudo} so that the command @code{ifconfig} contained in |
712 |
@file{qemu-ifup} can be executed as root. You must verify that your host |
713 |
kernel supports the TUN/TAP network interfaces: the device |
714 |
@file{/dev/net/tun} must be present. |
715 |
|
716 |
When network is enabled, there is a virtual network connection between |
717 |
the host kernel and the emulated kernel. The emulated kernel is seen |
718 |
from the host kernel at IP address 172.20.0.2 and the host kernel is |
719 |
seen from the emulated kernel at IP address 172.20.0.1. |
720 |
|
721 |
@item Launch @code{qemu.sh}. You should have the following output: |
722 |
|
723 |
@example |
724 |
> ./qemu.sh |
725 |

851 |
|
852 |
You can use any linux kernel with QEMU. However, if you want to use |
853 |
@code{qemu-fast} to get maximum performances, you must use a modified |
854 |
guest kernel. If you are using a 2.6 guest kernel, you can use |
855 |
directly the patch @file{linux-2.6-qemu-fast.patch} made by Rusty |
856 |
Russel available in the QEMU source archive. Otherwise, you can make the |
857 |
following changes @emph{by hand} to the Linux kernel: |
858 |
|
859 |
@enumerate |
860 |
@item |
861 |
The kernel must be mapped at 0x90000000 (the default is |
862 |
0xc0000000). You must modify only two lines in the kernel source: |
863 |
|
864 |
In @file{include/asm/page.h}, replace |
865 |
@example |
866 |
#define __PAGE_OFFSET (0xc0000000) |
867 |
@end example |

@example |
870 |
#define __PAGE_OFFSET (0x90000000) |
871 |
@end example |
872 |
|
873 |
And in @file{arch/i386/vmlinux.lds}, replace |
874 |
@example |
875 |
. = 0xc0000000 + 0x100000; |
876 |
@end example |
877 |

@item |
883 |
If you want to enable SMP (Symmetric Multi-Processing) support, you |
884 |
must make the following change in @file{include/asm/fixmap.h}. Replace |
885 |
@example |
886 |

(X is 'e' or 'f' depending on the kernel version). Although you can |
893 |
use an SMP kernel with QEMU, it only supports one CPU. |
894 |
|
895 |
@item |
896 |
If you are not using a 2.6 kernel as host kernel but if you use a target |
897 |
2.6 kernel, you must also ensure that the 'HZ' define is set to 100 |
898 |
(1000 is the default) as QEMU cannot currently emulate timers at |
899 |
frequencies greater than 100 Hz on host Linux systems < 2.6. In |
900 |
@file{include/asm/param.h}, replace: |
901 |
|
902 |
@example |
903 |
# define HZ 1000 /* Internal kernel timer frequency */ |
904 |
@end example |
905 |
by |
906 |
@example |
907 |
# define HZ 100 /* Internal kernel timer frequency */ |
908 |
@end example |
909 |
|
910 |
@end enumerate |
911 |
|
912 |
The file config-2.x.x gives the configuration of the example kernels. |
913 |
|
914 |
Just type |
915 |
@example |
916 |
make bzImage |
917 |
@end example |
918 |
|
919 |
As you would do to make a real kernel. Then you can use with QEMU |
920 |
exactly the same kernel as you would boot on your PC (in |
921 |
@file{arch/i386/boot/bzImage}). |
922 |
|
923 |
@node gdb_usage |
924 |
@section GDB usage |
925 |
|
926 |
QEMU has a primitive support to work with gdb, so that you can do |
927 |
'Ctrl-C' while the virtual machine is running and inspect its state. |
928 |
|
929 |
In order to use gdb, launch qemu with the '-s' option. It will wait for a |
930 |
gdb connection: |
931 |
@example |
932 |
> qemu -s -kernel arch/i386/boot/bzImage -hda root-2.4.20.img -append "root=/dev/hda" |
933 |
Connected to host network interface: tun0 |
934 |
Waiting gdb connection on port 1234 |
935 |
@end example |
936 |
|
937 |
Then launch gdb on the 'vmlinux' executable: |
938 |
@example |
939 |
> gdb vmlinux |
940 |
@end example |
941 |
|
942 |
In gdb, connect to QEMU: |
943 |
@example |
944 |
(gdb) target remote localhost:1234 |
945 |
@end example |
946 |
|
947 |
Then you can use gdb normally. For example, type 'c' to launch the kernel: |
948 |
@example |
949 |
(gdb) c |
950 |
@end example |
951 |
|
952 |
Here are some useful tips in order to use gdb on system code: |
953 |
|
954 |
@enumerate |
955 |
@item |
956 |
Use @code{info reg} to display all the CPU registers. |
957 |
@item |
958 |
Use @code{x/10i $eip} to display the code at the PC position. |
959 |
@item |
960 |
Use @code{set architecture i8086} to dump 16 bit code. Then use |
961 |
@code{x/10i $cs*16+*eip} to dump the code at the PC position. |
962 |
@end enumerate |
963 |
|
964 |
@section Target OS specific information |
965 |
|
966 |
@subsection Linux |
967 |
|
968 |
To have access to SVGA graphic modes under X11, use the @code{vesa} or |
969 |
the @code{cirrus} X11 driver. For optimal performances, use 16 bit |
970 |
color depth in the guest and the host OS. |
971 |
|
972 |
When using a 2.6 guest Linux kernel, you should add the option |
973 |
@code{clock=pit} on the kernel command line because the 2.6 Linux |
974 |
kernels make very strict real time clock checks by default that QEMU |
975 |
cannot simulate exactly. |
976 |
|
977 |
@subsection Windows |
978 |
|
979 |
If you have a slow host, using Windows 95 is better as it gives the |
980 |
best speed. Windows 2000 is also a good choice. |
981 |
|
982 |
@subsubsection SVGA graphic modes support |
983 |
|
984 |
QEMU emulates a Cirrus Logic GD5446 Video |
985 |
card. All Windows versions starting from Windows 95 should recognize |
986 |
and use this graphic card. For optimal performances, use 16 bit color |
987 |
depth in the guest and the host OS. |
988 |
|
989 |
@subsubsection CPU usage reduction |
990 |
|
991 |
Windows 9x does not correctly use the CPU HLT |
992 |
instruction. The result is that it takes host CPU cycles even when |
993 |
idle. You can install the utility from |
994 |
@url{http://www.user.cityline.ru/~maxamn/amnhltm.zip} to solve this |
995 |
problem. Note that no such tool is needed for NT, 2000 or XP. |
996 |
|
997 |
@subsubsection Windows 2000 disk full problems |
998 |
|
999 |
Currently (release 0.6.0) QEMU has a bug which gives a @code{disk |
1000 |
full} error during installation of some releases of Windows 2000. The |
1001 |
workaround is to stop QEMU as soon as you notice that your disk image |
1002 |
size is growing too fast (monitor it with @code{ls -ls}). Then |
1003 |
relaunch QEMU to continue the installation. If you still experience |
1004 |
the problem, relaunch QEMU again. |
1005 |
|
1006 |
Future QEMU releases are likely to correct this bug. |
1007 |
|
1008 |
@subsubsection Windows XP security problems |
1009 |
|
1010 |
Some releases of Windows XP install correctly but give a security |
1011 |
error when booting: |
1012 |
@example |
1013 |
A problem is preventing Windows from accurately checking the |
1014 |
license for this computer. Error code: 0x800703e6. |
1015 |
@end example |
1016 |
The only known workaround is to boot in Safe mode |
1017 |
without networking support. |
1018 |
|
1019 |
Future QEMU releases are likely to correct this bug. |
1020 |
|
1021 |
@subsection MS-DOS and FreeDOS |
1022 |
|
1023 |
@subsubsection CPU usage reduction |
1024 |
|
1025 |
DOS does not correctly use the CPU HLT instruction. The result is that |
1026 |
it takes host CPU cycles even when idle. You can install the utility |
1027 |
from @url{http://www.vmware.com/software/dosidle210.zip} to solve this |
1028 |
problem. |

@chapter QEMU User space emulator invocation |
1101 |
|
1102 |
@section Quick Start |
1103 |
|
1104 |
In order to launch a Linux process, QEMU needs the process executable |
1105 |
itself and all the target (x86) dynamic libraries used by it. |
1106 |
|
1107 |
@itemize |
1108 |
|
1109 |
@item On x86, you can just try to launch any process by using the native |
1110 |
libraries: |
1111 |
|
1112 |
@example |
1113 |
qemu-i386 -L / /bin/ls |
1114 |
@end example |
1115 |
|
1116 |
@code{-L /} tells that the x86 dynamic linker must be searched with a |
1117 |
@file{/} prefix. |
1118 |
|
1119 |
@item Since QEMU is also a linux process, you can launch qemu with qemu (NOTE: you can only do that if you compiled QEMU from the sources): |
1120 |
|
1121 |
@example |
1122 |
qemu-i386 -L / qemu-i386 -L / /bin/ls |
1123 |
@end example |
1124 |
|
1125 |
@item On non x86 CPUs, you need first to download at least an x86 glibc |
1126 |
(@file{qemu-runtime-i386-XXX-.tar.gz} on the QEMU web page). Ensure that |
1127 |
@code{LD_LIBRARY_PATH} is not set: |
1128 |
|
1129 |
@example |
1130 |
unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH |
1131 |
@end example |
1132 |
|
1133 |
Then you can launch the precompiled @file{ls} x86 executable: |
1134 |
|
1135 |
@example |
1136 |
qemu-i386 tests/i386/ls |
1137 |
@end example |
1138 |
You can look at @file{qemu-binfmt-conf.sh} so that |
1139 |
QEMU is automatically launched by the Linux kernel when you try to |
1140 |
launch x86 executables. It requires the @code{binfmt_misc} module in the |
1141 |
Linux kernel. |
1142 |
|
1143 |
@item The x86 version of QEMU is also included. You can try weird things such as: |
1144 |
@example |
1145 |
qemu-i386 /usr/local/qemu-i386/bin/qemu-i386 /usr/local/qemu-i386/bin/ls-i386 |
1146 |
@end example |
1147 |
|
1148 |
@end itemize |
1149 |
|
1150 |
@section Wine launch |
1151 |
|
1152 |
@itemize |
1153 |
|
1154 |
@item Ensure that you have a working QEMU with the x86 glibc |
1155 |
distribution (see previous section). In order to verify it, you must be |
1156 |
able to do: |
1157 |
|
1158 |
@example |
1159 |
qemu-i386 /usr/local/qemu-i386/bin/ls-i386 |
1160 |
@end example |
1161 |
|
1162 |
@item Download the binary x86 Wine install |
1163 |
(@file{qemu-XXX-i386-wine.tar.gz} on the QEMU web page). |
1164 |
|
1165 |
@item Configure Wine on your account. Look at the provided script |
1166 |
@file{/usr/local/qemu-i386/bin/wine-conf.sh}. Your previous |
1167 |
@code{$@{HOME@}/.wine} directory is saved to @code{$@{HOME@}/.wine.org}. |
1168 |
|
1169 |
@item Then you can try the example @file{putty.exe}: |
1170 |
|
1171 |
@example |
1172 |
qemu-i386 /usr/local/qemu-i386/wine/bin/wine /usr/local/qemu-i386/wine/c/Program\ Files/putty.exe |
