[Qemu-devel] Problem in compiling qemu-0.10.6

Hello all,

I was trying to compile qemu-0.10.6 source code downloaded from following
link:

http://www.qemu.org/download.html

so I followed following steps :

1) I first executed command : ./configure --target-list=arm-softmmu
--disable-vnc-tls --disable-kvm

2) In that I got an error for libSDL dependency so I configured SDL1.3
source code and but I was facing errors so I tried to rectify it but I just
couldn't.
   So I just tried SDL1.2.13 for configuring and it worked.
3) After that I executed : make  Results: no error found in this execution.

4) Next I executed sudo make install   , Results : no error found ..
5) But when I tried one test arm image downloaded from following link:

http://www.qemu.org/download.html

with command :
qemu-system-arm -kernel zImage.integrator -initrd arm_root.img  then I got
following error :

Could not initialize SDL - exiting

So I again I tried to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /opt/lib after compiling
SDL-1.2.13 source code with --prefix=/opt/ then also It is giving me same
error ...
i.e.
Could not initialize SDL - exiting

So please help in this regard..

Thanks,
Amey.

If you're only looking to run qemu you can download it from your
distribution binaries.

instead of getting the dependencies this way you should download your
distribution-specific packages. eg, SDL and SDL-devel on Fedora.

or you can use the in-built vnc server (also answers your previous
question); you can use -vnc :1 and then use a vnc client to access that.
