Hi, I was looking at fixing a FreeBSD compile failure yesterday and I spent a lot of time trying to figure out building on a system that I'm not very familiar with. Today I'm having a quick look at extending the Travis build to MacOSX.
In both cases I'm not getting very far and I notice we only really have decent build instructions on the wiki for Linux and Win32: http://wiki.qemu.org/Hosts/Linux http://wiki.qemu.org/Hosts/W32 Could I implore the greater community to think about putting up some simple instructions for people that are not familiar with these systems. It will help *you* in the long run ;-) FWIW on FreeBSD I ended up: * running make on the /usr/ports qemu to bring in dependencies * ./configure --disable-nettle (the script seems to miss this) * use gmake I'm not sure if this is the right way but I did manage to reproduce the failure that had been reported. On MacOSX I could really do with knowing: * What Xcode/compiler should work * How are dependencies installed? (brew?) * Any special configure options needed? Thanks in advance, -- Alex Bennée
