It would be great if kqemu could be loaded at runtime instead of
requiring qemu to be rebuild.
For packaged versions of qemu (most Linux distributions do those days),
you have to rebuild it yourself (without packaging) instead of using the
neat available package.
Would it be hard to do?
Any plans to do it?
Regards

This is more or less already the case.
You can compile and distribute a kqemu enabled qemu binary w/o needing to
include kqemu in the package.
Compiling from source for kqemu support sans kqemu modules also looks doable
but I haven't tried that.

It can be done. It is their choice to not do it.

Infinite complexity begets infinite beauty.
Infinite precision begets infinite perfection.

Mandriva package is built with support for both kqemu and qvm86 (kqemu
is chosen first if both are available).

So, it needs the non-free part at build-time, but they remove it
afterwards?
Is that so?
Thanks

No, only the .h is needed. The proprietary part is only needed if you
want to build the module.

And the header (.h) is free?
