[Qemu-devel] pixman dependency - compile issue

[Erik Rull <erik.rull@rdsoftware.de>]

Hi all,

with the current git master and the git submodule pixman, I get the 
following errors when trying to "make":

erik@debian:~/qemu-test/qemu-now/qemu$ make
   GEN   x86_64-softmmu/config-devices.mak
   GEN   config-all-devices.mak
   GEN   config-host.h

My host / compiling system is Debian 6, git clone was just done an hour 
before this message.

The submodule was added as proposed:
git submodule update --init pixman

Maybe I missed something simple and stupid...

Compiling without pixman is not possible due to the required x86_64-softmmu 
target.

Did you additionally assert that the pixman module works on old CentOS 9 
systems / Debian 4? Some months ago there were new dependencies added to 
qemu that were reverted / redesigned afterwards due to bigger problems on 
these distros.

Best regards,

Erik
