We have documentation on the wiki currently about how to build on various platforms: https://wiki.qemu.org/Hosts/Linux https://wiki.qemu.org/Hosts/Mac https://wiki.qemu.org/Hosts/W32 I agree that we ought to move this into the main documentation. Some of the information in those wiki pages is probably out of date, but some of it looks like useful extra detail that we could incorporate here. > --- > docs/about/build-platforms.rst | 4 +- > docs/devel/build-system.rst | 100 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I don't think this is the best place to put this information. "How do I build from source?" is a question that most beginning developers and some end users will have. The information in build-system.rst is mostly about the internals of our build system and how to modify it, which is a more niche topic. I would be inclined to put this in a new file, maybe even in docs/about/ rather than docs/devel. thanks -- PMM
