Building QEMU

In general, I install QEMU on my Macbook using MacPorts.  However I recently had a need to get the tip of the QEMU development tree. Getting the QEMU source tree is trivial: git clone git://git.qemu-project.org/qemu.git I needed an updated version of dtc: git submodule update –init dtc The build instructions from the README are: mkdir build cd build ../configure make However, my case I only need ARM emulation, so: ../configure –target-list=arm-softmmu make make install The binary qemu-system-arm will be at /usr.local/bin oscar:build tom$ /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-arm –version QEMU emulator version 2.4.94, Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard
