[Qemu-devel] Compiling with 3.3 on Ubuntu-based system

[David Barrett <dbarrett@quinthar.com>]

Ok, so next up is trying it on a couple other servers.  I've already 
tried the crazy 2.4/2.6 bastard with an ancient gcc, but I'm giving up 
on that one.

Next up I'm going to try an Ubuntu-based server.  Both gcc 4 and 3.3 are 
installed, but /usr/bin/gcc is linked to 3.3:


rs@a69-26-190-189:/usr/bin$ ls -latr /usr/bin/gcc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Apr  3 01:35 /usr/bin/gcc -> gcc-3.3

rs@a69-26-190-189:/tmp/qemu-0.9.1$ gcc -v

When I ./configure it warns about a lack of SDL headers, but I think I 
remember hearing this can be safely ignored.  (?)  Furthermore, it seems 
to compile fine for a while, but then gets stuck here:


rs@a69-26-190-189:/tmp/qemu-0.9.1$ make
make -C i386-linux-user all
make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/qemu-0.9.1/i386-linux-user'
../dyngen -c -o opc.h op.o
dyngen: Unsupported ELF class
make[1]: *** [opc.h] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/qemu-0.9.1/i386-linux-user'
make: *** [subdir-i386-linux-user] Error 2


Alas, so close.  Any suggestions?

I'm going to try compiling this on my Ubuntu laptop to make sure it 
works there (I've been using the pre-compiled binaries).  Then I'm going 
to try a newer CVS snapshot (but 
http://qemu-forum.ipi.fi/qemu-snapshots/ seems to be down).  If I can 
only get it working on one of these servers I'll be in nirvana!
