[Qemu-devel] Compiling with 3.3 on Ubuntu-based system

[David Barrett]

Ok, so next up is trying it on a couple other servers.  I've already 
tried the crazy 2.4/2.6 bastard with an ancient gcc, but I'm giving up 
on that one.

Next up I'm going to try an Ubuntu-based server.  Both gcc 4 and 3.3 are 
installed, but /usr/bin/gcc is linked to 3.3:


address@hidden:/usr/bin$ ls -latr /usr/bin/gcc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Apr  3 01:35 /usr/bin/gcc -> gcc-3.3

address@hidden:/tmp/qemu-0.9.1$ gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux-gnu/3.3.6/specs
Configured with: ../src/configure -v --enable-languages=c,c++,ada 
--prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info 
--with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/3.3 --enable-shared 
--enable-__cxa_atexit --with-system-zlib --enable-nls 
--without-included-gettext --enable-clocale=gnu --enable-debug 
i486-linux-gnu
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.3.6 (Ubuntu 1:3.3.6-10)
address@hidden:/tmp/qemu-0.9.1$


When I ./configure it warns about a lack of SDL headers, but I think I 
remember hearing this can be safely ignored.  (?)  Furthermore, it seems 
to compile fine for a while, but then gets stuck here:


address@hidden:/tmp/qemu-0.9.1$ make
make -C i386-linux-user all
make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/qemu-0.9.1/i386-linux-user'
../dyngen -c -o opc.h op.o
dyngen: Unsupported ELF class
make[1]: *** [opc.h] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/qemu-0.9.1/i386-linux-user'
make: *** [subdir-i386-linux-user] Error 2


Alas, so close.  Any suggestions?

I'm going to try compiling this on my Ubuntu laptop to make sure it 
works there (I've been using the pre-compiled binaries).  Then I'm going 
to try a newer CVS snapshot (but 
http://qemu-forum.ipi.fi/qemu-snapshots/ seems to be down).  If I can 
only get it working on one of these servers I'll be in nirvana!
