Hi,
[I’m not sure if macports-users is the correct email list to ask this question,
so if not, apologies in advance.]
It seems like there is an unofficial patch to QEMU v. 6.1.0 that enables MacOSX
hypervisor support for ARM64 VMs under QEMU:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/series/548227/mbox/
Homebrew appears to apply this to their version of QEMU 6.1.0:
https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/HEAD/Formula/qemu.rb
See lines 49-54:
if Hardware::CPU.arm?
patch do
url "https://patchwork.kernel.org/series/548227/mbox/“
sha256
“5b9c9779374839ce6ade1b60d1377c3fc118bc43e8482d0d3efa64383e11b6d3"
end
end
Is there a way to add an optional variant to the QEMU Portfile that would apply
this patch?
I looked through the Portfile for QEMU, but I’m not sufficiently familiar with
the way that variants work to figure out how to implement a variant that
applies a patch only when it is selected on and only when running on a
supported architecture.
If someone can point me to an example of a Portfile where this might already be
implemented, I’d be happy to try and add support for this to the QEMU Portfile.
Thanks,
