[Qemu-devel] Linux x86_64 host

[Bob Deblier <bob.deblier@telenet.be>]

Great project!

I've been trying to see if I can get the current CVS version of QEMU
working on my Fedora Core 2 x86_64, with no luck so far. There's even a
compilation error in the current sparc code:

../dyngen -o op.h op.o
../dyngen -c -o opc.h op.o
gcc -Wall -O2 -g -fno-strict-aliasing -I.
-I/home/bob/emulators/cvs/qemu/target-sparc
-I/home/bob/emulators/cvs/qemu -I/home/bob/emulators/cvs/qemu/linux-user
-I/home/bob/emulators/cvs/qemu/linux-user/sparc -D_GNU_SOURCE
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE
-I/home/bob/emulators/cvs/qemu/slirp -c -o translate-all.o
/home/bob/emulators/cvs/qemu/translate-all.c
In file included from /home/bob/emulators/cvs/qemu/translate-all.c:41:
op.h: In function `dyngen_code':
op.h:4639: error: syntax error before '.' token
op.h:4641: error: syntax error before '.' token
make[1]: *** [translate-all.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/bob/emulators/cvs/qemu/sparc-user'

I'm more than willing to make some time getting to know the system and
contributing to make this work on x86_64, if somebody can give pointers
on where to start investigating.

I've got many years experience programming, knowledge of several
varieties of assembler (x86, x86_64, ppc, ppc64, sparcv8/9, arm, ia64 -
as used in the BeeCrypt crypto library).

Sincerely,

Bob Deblier
