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. |
