Build Information
- The build system is now partly based on Meson. However, building is still done with configure and make as in previous versions of QEMU.
- Binaries for emulators are placed in the root build directory, for example as qemu-system-ppc instead of ppc-softmmu/qemu-system-ppc. Symbolic links from the old binary are preserved to simplify the transition.
- In-tree builds are not supported anymore. The build system will try to cater for ./configure && make && make install by building QEMU in a directory named build, but you are encouraged to switch to out-of-tree builds instead.
Python
GIT submodules
Container Based Builds
Build Dependencies
- GNU Make 3.82 is now the minimum supported release for building QEMU. Note that this version is not included in macOS and must be installed from packaging systems such as Homebrew.
- Python setuptools are now required to build QEMU.
Testing
Windows
Known issues
