Re: [Qemu-devel] Error compiling qemu from source on Ubuntu 12.10

[Jobin Raju George]

To fix this issue:

• I cloned dtc from its repository and extracted the tarball to qemu/dtc/.

• Compiled dtc from source first using make

• Restarted configuring qemu.

The problem was qemu tries to search for dtc binaries in qemu/dtc. Even if you have installed dtc using sudo apt-get install device-tree-compiler, you will get the above error(mentioned in the question), so you probably need to have the binaries in qemu/dtc.

I am trying to compile qemu from source to get my hands dirty with its development. I cloned the package from the repository. I extracted the tarball and started with the configuration using

./configure

when I got the following error:

ERROR: DTC (libfdt) not present. Your options:
         (1) Preferred: Install the DTC (libfdt) devel package
         (2) Fetch the DTC submodule, using:
             git submodule update --init dtc

I tried installing libfdt using sudo apt-get install libfdt-dev but this did not resolve the error.

There is a similar question I have seen but this too could not solve the error I am facing:

• “ERROR: zlib check failed” while compiling Qemu
