[Qemu-devel] New wiki page: http://wiki.qemu.org/Hosts

[Programmingkid]

I thought we could use a Hosts page to sort all the host documentation we have. It is located here: http://wiki.qemu.org/Hosts

Here is what I have so far:

AIX
Darwin
FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD
Linux
Mac OS X
Solaris
Windows

Since this stuff changes rarely, it should be in the source tree
instead.  You can link to the source tree from the wiki with something
like this:

{{src|path=BUILDING|description=the BUILDING file in the source tree}}

Would you like to make a patch moving the information from the wiki to
such a file?

I'm not quite sure how to do that. 

When I tried out your link it failed to open the file. The file isn't found.

I'm asking you to write it.

How would this differ from the "Building" section in the README
in the source tree?

Looking at the wiki pages, it would have information on how to get QEMU's
dependencies.

I think I now know what you want. You want a shell script that would  
take each link in the http://wiki.qemu.org/Hosts file, convert the  
html data into text of the linked file, then append that text to a  
file called BUILDING. So in the end we have a file called BUILDING  
that would look like this:


QEMU Building Directions:

AIX
.....

Darwin
.....

FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD
....

Linux
.....

Mac OS X
....

Solaris
....

Windows
....


So now I have to figure out which commands to use. This script would  
have to work on all operating systems that QEMU is built on. This  
page has some pretty good information on how to do this: http:// 
stackoverflow.com/questions/12422289/bash-command-to-covert-html-page- 
to-a-text-file

I think I will work on a python script to do this job.

No, I just want to do that once and get rid of the Hosts/ pages.

Really? Why? I thought they were very useful. Where would people who  
are doing a web search go for building information?

To http://www.quasiquark.com/download/#source in the new website, which
would have a link to the BUILDING file.

Since it's documentation, shouldn't this rather go to
/Documentation/Hosts instead of /Hosts ?

It is easier to type http://wiki.qemu.org/Hosts than http://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation/Hosts. Otherwise I don't have any objection to such a change.
