Re: [Qemu-devel] Qemu on Mandrake 10

[Darrin Ritter <darrinritter@optusnet.com.au>]

Well I have managed to get Qemu to compile on my system and it is 
running with some stability but for documention  sake heres what I had 
to do to achieve it on MKD 10:

had to use the SDL rpms from the SDL website

http://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL-1.2.7-1.i386.rpm
http://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL-devel-1.2.7-1.i386.rpm

i had to install the static devel rpms for glibc and X.org xfree86 
(mandrake club ones)

and I configured with ../configure --prefix=/usr --enable-slirp

then make

and make install

the binaries off the web site worked in part but gave all sorts of 
problems with anything other than text mode OSes, but I´d like to report 
that everything is working well now.

thanks Qemu devel guys for all the work you have put into makeing a 
first rate emulator

cheers DarR!N
