I recently finished building an QEMU image based build environment for compiling OpenEmbedded (OpenZaurus, NLUS2, etc)... In my case it cross-compiles arm binaries on the x86 QEMU image. Overall I think a Linux image cross compiling is the way to go for easy of distribution. Here are my suggestions: - Compiling inside QEMU is slow, but ought to be fast enough for something as small as QEMU (in OE's case you have to compile ~1.2 GB of source which takes ~1.5 days on an AMD64/Win32 host) - Use a Debian text-only installation; it needs less then 600MB, zips to ~150MB and is easy to update. - Make a separate partition for all build output (i.e. hdb1) - that way the Guest OS can be maintained and the build can be chucked by dropping the partition / disk image (hdb). - Steal the stuff I've done and adapt it... You can find it at http://www.northern.ca/projects/openembedded/ (the small file being the build user's directory, the big being the whole image w/ build user directory) - If there are any questions about my stuff don't hesitate to ask... (I get digests of this list so you might want to cc me directly) Cheers, -Garth (author of QEMUMenu) -- Northern.CA ===-- http://www.northern.ca/ Canada's Search Engine _______________________________________________ Qemu-devel mailing list Qemu-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel
