Public bug reported: I recently observed that warning messages emitted by qemu-user can confuse applications when reading from stdout/stderr. This was observed with the configure script of OpenJDK-11 on qemu-sh4:
configure: Found potential Boot JDK using configure arguments configure: Potential Boot JDK found at /usr/lib/jvm/java-10-openjdk-sh4 is incorrect JDK version (qemu: Unsupported syscall: 318); ignoring configure: (Your Boot JDK version must be one of: 10 11) configure: error: The path given by --with-boot-jdk does not contain a valid Boot JDK configure exiting with result code 1 See: https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=openjdk-11&arch=sh4&ver=11%7E18-1&stamp=1529119043&raw=0 Commenting out the line of code which emits the warning fixes the problem for me and the configure script finishes without problems. Thus, qemu should be modified to avoid cluttering stdout or stderr with its own messages and rather send those warnings to a log file or similar. ** Affects: qemu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1777226 Title: qemu-user warnings confuse userland applications Status in QEMU: New Bug description: I recently observed that warning messages emitted by qemu-user can confuse applications when reading from stdout/stderr.
