[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] Makefile: Fix compilation for non-standard host kernel path

[Prerna Saxena]

Set up host kernel include paths specified by --kerneldir

When host kernel headers are placed in non-standard paths, the
KVM_CFLAGS are presently invoked only for a few .c files 
(kvm*.c,vhost*.c) and not for other files like machine.c, cpus.c
  ..etc which also depend on linux/kvm.h

I think that's a bug.  What's the dependency of machine.c and cpus.c?

Both machine.d and cpus.d depend on qemu/kvm.h, which in turn needs 
linux/kvm.h

I am running a custom-compiled kernel for which the headers are placed 
separately. I pass the kernel source directory to my configure script as 
follows :

[usr@zephyr ~]$ configure --prefix=/home/bloat/qemu-git/qemu-bin 
--enable-kvm --target-list=i386-softmmu,x86_64-softmmu --enable-profiler 
--disable-docs --kerneldir=/home/bloat/kernels/linux-2.6.35-rc3
[usr@zephyr ~]$ make -j2

This is one of the errors I get : (similar ones are flagged for 
machine.o and cpus.o)

CC    i386-softmmu/arch_init.o
In file included from /home/bloat/qemu-git/qemu/arch_init.c:38:
/home/bloat/qemu-git/qemu/kvm.h:22:23: error: linux/kvm.h: No such file 
or directory
make[1]: *** [arch_init.o] Error 1

This is because the location of kernel headers is not passed as a '-I' 
switch to gcc. IMO adding the KVM_CFLAGS to QEMU_CFLAGS would be 
required for such cases.
