[Qemu-devel] SDL, GLIBC_PRIVATE error for __libc_sigaction

[Qemu-devel] SDL, GLIBC_PRIVATE error for __libc_sigaction

[Paul Jakma]

Hi,

I get the following error trying to run qemu compiled with SDL 
support:

./i386-softmmu/qemu: relocation error: ./i386-softmmu/qemu: symbol 
__libc_sigaction, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file libc.so.6 
with link time reference

This is on FC2 x86_64. AFAICT. Judging by posts like:

 	http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-hacker/2004-05/msg00001.html

The glibc folks are rather keen to not have GLIBC_PRIVATE symbols be 
used outside of libc ;) (that patch doesnt remove __libc_sigaction 
AFAICT, but I guess it's been removed since then.

Is there any workaround for this? (other than not using SDL support).

regards,

Do: LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 qemu <and the qemu parameters>

Thanks,

Hmm, that doesnt work:

  LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 ./i386-softmmu/qemu -hda /mnt/s10/hda.img -hdb /mnt/s10/hdb.img -m 256
./i386-softmmu/qemu: error while loading shared libraries: libm.so.6: 
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

What I have done is just to remove the sigaction stuff from vl.c, as 
I found a post to the list (via google) which suggested that this 
libc abuse is only needed for old libc's (linuxthreads?). If I do 
that qemu works, I get a window popped up, it stays black and after a 
while qemu segfaults. Thing is, qemu also segfaults if i compile 
without SDL support.

This is on x86-64. Is qemu known to work on 64bit systems? I noticed 
quite a few integer<->pointer warnings when compiling qemu..

I don't use qemu pc emulation a lot, but qemu-ppc runs fine on my
x86_64, with a Gentoo distrib, using Linux kernel 2.6.
I had some issues with PC emulation last time I tried it:
the BIOS seemed to start to execute then freezed.
But it's been quite a long time ago...
I'll retry and tell here if it's better now.

It still does that for me. I'm using gentoo on amd64 also. I have had to 
so a static 32 bit compile and use that for now. (I tried to understand 
the problem, but qemu is a bit beyond my knowledge)

Well, qemu i386 actually works, yay!

However, Solaris (the OS I'm trying to run), hangs before booting the 
kernel. I'm running 0.5.5, and i notice the 0.6.0 changelog mentions 
a solaris related fix.

Question is, how do i get the qemu configure script to pass -m32 to 
gcc? I've tried --extra-cflags, export CFLAGS, etc, but nothing seems 
to work. (config-host.mak has CFLAGS=-m32).

Of course it works ;)

Well, can we download for free a version of solaris x86 ? ;p

I got the same error when trying to launch an homemade build of qemu on 
my linux Fedora Core 2...

Yup, available freely from Sun.

I use the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 trick and it seems to work fine. All I added 
was an alias..
