[Qemu-devel] Launch qemu without loading libSDL?

[David Barrett]

Continuing on this thread, is there any way to launch the pre-compiled 
binaries in such a fashion that they don't dynamically load the SDL 
libraries at runtime?  For example:

[root@a3 /]# qemu -nographic ... etc ...
qemu: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL-1.2.so.0: cannot open 
shared object file: No such file or directory
[root@a3 /]#

Ideally if the -nographic flag were there, then it won't try to load the 
SDL libraries and would "just work" on a server that has no video 
output.  Everything else looks like it's ready to go:

[root@a3 /]# ldd /usr/local/bin/qemu
         libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0x00917000)
         libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x0093c000)
         libSDL-1.2.so.0 => not found
         libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0 (0x009a3000)
         librt.so.1 => /lib/tls/librt.so.1 (0x00554000)
         libutil.so.1 => /lib/libutil.so.1 (0x009cf000)
         libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x007e4000)
         /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x007c6000)
[root@a3 /]#


Any suggestions for how to suppress loading of libSDL, or perhaps trick 
  it into loading a "null" implementation of libSDL that does nothing?

Thanks!

You would probably be better off relinking.  Or, maybe just copy
libSDL.  If you install the thoughtwave packages on solaris it comes
with libsdl.

Thanks,

Thanks; ya, I just recompiled it and kqemu and looks like it's going to 
work fine.  Thanks again!
