I have just installed snv b70 on my IBM X31 laptop and have installed WindowsXP in a qemu vm. I would like to install the kqemu accelerator but have been unable to do so. Here is what I did: 1. Downloaded the kqemu-1.3.0pre11__sol10FCS... files from this site. 2. Unzipped and ran the ./configure 3. Ran make and got a bunch of errors... and was unable to proceed from here Is there a simple way of installing a binary package rather than having to mess around with building one ? Why can''t a single binary package containing both QEMU and KQEMU be provided ? Am I correct in assuming that installing the accelerator will result in WindowsXP running at near native speeds, or at least as fast as VMWare or Parallels ? Thanks... -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

However, try the above source.> Is there a simple way of installing a binary package rather than having to mess around with building one ?Qemu is in a constant state of flux. Given that there are specific requirements for each version of Solaris (8/9/10/11), it''s much too hard to keep specific versions around. At this point, QEMU and KQEMU should compile out of the box if you use the latest code.> Why can''t a single binary package containing both QEMU and KQEMU be provided ?See above.> Am I correct in assuming that installing the accelerator will result in WindowsXP running at near native speeds, or at least as fast as VMWare or Parallels ?for some operations, yes. The KQEMU module runs very nicely with WinXP and Ubuntu on my XP Athlon system. 64-bit systems like Opteron and AMD64 can''t run kqemu for 32-bit systems, just so you''re aware. Ben
I still get the same problem. Here it is... bash-3.00# ./configure ./configure: gcc: not found big/little test failed Source path /root/Downloads/kqemu/kqemu C compiler gcc Host C compiler gcc make gmake host CPU i386 bash-3.00# make kqemu32 make: Fatal error in reader: Makefile, line 2: Unexpected end of line seen bash-3.00# -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
Oops - seems I needed to add /usr/sfw/bin to the PATH environment variable - fixes the gcc not found error but same error with make bash-3.00# PATH=$PATH:/usr/sfw/bin: bash-3.00# ./configure Source path /root/Downloads/kqemu/kqemu C compiler gcc Host C compiler gcc make gmake host CPU i386 bash-3.00# make kqemu32 make: Fatal error in reader: Makefile, line 2: Unexpected end of line seen bash-3.00# -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

On Solaris, you must use gmake. Please read the following page, and all the other readme''s on the opensolaris qemu project page. http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/qemu/host
Thanks - got it going I think, is there some way of checking its actually running in accelerated mode ? It might also be an idea to title the documents building QEMU and KQEMU and mentioning that the command required to make kqemu is "gmake install32" or "gmake install64". Idiots like me don''t want to have to figure this out. Anyway - its up and running and seems pretty stable. Thanks again for your patience. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
