QEMU 7.0 Compiling Error & Problem

[AgenT]

I am trying to compile qemu-0.7.0 without kqemu so that it is easier to fix my problem.

When compiling I get this error:

My ./configure output is this:

I read somewhere that one should install build-essentials but the description says that it is for building deb's, something I do not need right now. Anyone have any ideas on what can be wrong?

auto-apt is a great tool when compiling from sources

try if this helps:
$ sudo apt-get install auto-apt
$ sudo auto-apt update
$ sudo auto-apt updatedb
$ sudo auto-apt update-local
$ auto-apt run ./configure
$ ./configure

and instead of "make install" create debian package with checkinstall:
sudo apt-get install checkinstall
sudo checkinstall

This does not help. It wants to install packages which I *know* are not needed. Packages that, for example, are disabled in the configure script but which the configure script goes through to make sure and check whether or not they are there. I did decide to go through with letting auto-apt install what it wanted (and made sure to log the packages), but after 15 packages I quit.

Any other help would be very much appreciated!

** SOLUTION **

I managed to find a solution to my problem. First, there were two extra packages that I needed to apt-get: texi2html and zlib1g-dev. Second, I was not able to bybass another error that happend which seems to be a bug. It looks like there was a mistake made in making the kqemu searching script error out whether or not kqemu was enabled or disabled.

What was this solution then? CVS of course. As of 2005/05/11 the CVS version works. This is rather strange because 0.6.1 works, 0.7.0 does not, and yet CVS version (which is newer than 0.7.0, in fact, it's listed as 0.7.1 in Changelog) compiles without problem. At least at a bare minimum. As in without kqemu and any non-necessary options like SDL enabled.

you have to enable the kernel headers.

search for linux-headers in synaptic and pick the kernel headers for your 'uname-a'

i had the same problem. now kqemu will work :grin:

I try to install qemu but have some problem.....i am a newbie in linux system, so I am in the learning mode.

when I try to install qemu using instructions from other forum, I got this:

The package documentation directory ./doc-pak does not exist.
Should I create a default set of package docs? [y]: n

Installing with "make install"...

Hello,
you can find some information here :
http://ubuntu.sun.ac.za/wiki/index.php/QEMU

it seems that you don't have the following packages :
libsdl1.2-dev
zlib1g-dev

hope that'll help you
