No extra installation, no configure, nothing. How would this work? Can you have an XCode project that just says "to build this program we will run configure and make" ? We definitely don't want to have two parallel mechanisms for specifying how to build QEMU, because they'll just get out of sync. > each individually on macOS.

If there's a better way to handle OSX hosts that doesn't require us to carry around all our dependencies (which is impractical) that would be interesting to investigate. > The question is, and I don't have the big picture of QEMU yet to judge that, > how much is auto generated for QEMU i.e. with custom scripts that would > probably destroy this plan? There are these trace calls that are auto > generated, is there more like the TCG part for instance? Lots of stuff is autogenerated, yes. thanks -- PMM
