[Qemu-devel] How to build QEMU from git

[Michael Eager]

Hi --

I ran into a problem running the qemu-0.15 and I was told
that the problem was fixed in the 1.0 release candidate.
I don't find a package with the RC on http://wiki.qemu.org/Download,
so I cloned the git repo and tried to build qemu.

I didn't find any instructions on how to build qemu on the wiki,
so I winged it with the following configure:

  configure                     \
        --enable-sdl            \
        --enable-curses         \
        --enable-curl           \
        --enable-kvm            \
        --enable-nptl           \
        --enable-uuid           \
        --enable-linux-aio      \
        --enable-io-thread      \
        --enable-debug          

Is this correct, or is there a better set of options?

When I run make, there are a number of compiles which fail because
of variables being set but not used.  I've modified the code to
eliminate some of them to allow the build to continue.  Is there
a simpler way around this?

After getting past these issues, libhw32/serial.o is not being built:
  make[1]: *** No rule to make target `../libhw32/serial.o', needed by `qemu'.  
Stop.
  make[1]: Leaving directory `/local/eager/source/qemu/build/i386-softmmu'
  make: *** [subdir-i386-softmmu] Error

Is there a fix for this problem?
