At present it is not possible to alter 'CFLAGS', 'LDFLAGS' and 'LIBS'
when building QEMU without modifiying all the Makefiles.

I'd suggest the following:
The lines that explicitally set 'CFLAGS', 'LDFLAGS', 'LIBS' (and
others?) are removed from all Makefiles.
The values they are set to at present (in the Makefiles) are made the
defaults for configure's '--extra-cflags', '--extra-ldflags' and
'--extra-libs' (which isn't used at all by now).

I need to specify these '*FLAGS' when building as I do not have
installed any of the packages QEMU depends on in '/usr/' or similar and
thus have to tell it where to find them.

Another problem is that '/lib/ld-linux.so.2' is hard-coded in
'linux-user/main.c', which is also not true on any of my systems; I'd
like to have it configurable as well.

What are the SEARCH_DIRs in '*.ld' used for?


I could / would try to create pachtes for all of these.
What do you think?

This list's mbox archives are not available on

Does anyone know where I could get them?
I do not want to read the online, but download them instead.
