[Qemu-devel] problem compiling qemu

[Gavin McCullagh]

Hi,

running ./configure I kept getting the warning:

WARNING: cannot compile statically with SDL - qemu-fast won't have a graphical 
output

but couldn't see why as I had sdl libs and headers installed.  It turns out
that I didn't have gpm header files installed.

The gcc test command from the configure script was failing but as follows:

address@hidden qemu-0.6.1> gcc -o /tmp/qemu-conf-2281-7502-31349 
-I/usr/include/SDL -D_REENTRANT /tmp/qemu-conf-26274-7502-30643.c -L/usr/lib 
-lSDL -lpthread -lm -ldl -L/usr/lib -lasound -lm -ldl -lpthread -L/usr/lib -ldl 
-lartsc -lpthread -lgmodule-2.0 -ldl -lgthread-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -L/usr/lib -lesd 
-laudiofile -lm -laudio -lXt -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -lXext -lvga -laa -lgpm 
-L/usr/lib -laa -lm -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -lslang -lncurses
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgpm
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Perhaps the test could be more granular or mention the other libs which
could make this fail.
