32-bit and 64-bit x86/x64 pre-compiled QEMU 0.8.2 binaries for Solaris
10 / 11 / OpenSolaris

Should run on Sol10-x86 FCS aka 03/05 or higher (has been built under
Solaris 10 03/05 FCS).
More details later, on request.
Will not require LD_LIBRARY_PATH through both -R and -L plus crle (had
been required for 64bit vs. 32bit libgcc to avoid conflicting versions) :


# crle -c /opt/SUNWqemu/var/ld/ld.config

Configuration file [version 4]: /opt/SUNWqemu/var/ld/ld.config
  Default Library Path (ELF):   /opt/SUNWqemu/lib:/usr/sfw/lib:/lib:/usr/lib
  Trusted Directories (ELF):    /lib/secure:/usr/lib/secure  (system
default)

Command line:
  crle -c /opt/SUNWqemu/var/ld/ld.config -l
/opt/SUNWqemu/lib:/usr/sfw/lib:/lib:/usr/lib

# crle -64 -c /opt/SUNWqemu/var/ld/64/ld.config

Configuration file [version 4]: /opt/SUNWqemu/var/ld/64/ld.config
  Default Library Path (ELF):  
/opt/SUNWqemu/lib/64:/usr/sfw/lib/64:/lib/64:/usr/lib/64
  Trusted Directories (ELF):    /lib/secure/64:/usr/lib/secure/64 
(system default)

Command line:

installed  :-)


New features:
============
* provides qemu-system-i80586 target identifying itself with cpuid of
586 (i.e. for WinNT3.10 guest support)
* improved RAS  (runs on all hosts equal or higher Sol2.10_FCS; no
LD_LIBRARY_PATH trouble; no crashing SiSoft-Sandra inside Win98SE guest;
strongly enhanced sources wich much improved sparc host compatibility)
* IDE-UDMA patch derived from Juergen Keil's original patch  (Solaris
x86 guests can now be booted with dma enabled, out of the box as default
/ no grub cmd line)
* Improved support for booting the Solaris10/11 amd 64 kernel 
(Attention: still crashes when in combination with the wrapped kqemu
module, but works okay w/out kqemu)
* New sdl lib
* delivered as SVR4 pkgadd package
* /opt/SUNWqemu/bin/$ISAEXEC instead /opt/SUNWqemu/[32|64]
