Solution: Qemu 0.15 won't run under OS-X Lion because Apple switched to gcc LLVM. Actually it will build, but throws a segment fault when run. The cure is to build using gcc-4.2 (which is included under Lion.) Additionally darwin-user and bsd-user fail to compile. I gather these have been broken for a while now. In all, the following command line is required to successfully build and run qemu for OS-X Lion:
> ./configure --cc=gcc-4.2 --host-cc=gcc-4.2 --disable-darwin-user > --disable-bsd-user With this configuration I was able to run the test Linux boot images for i386, x86_64, sparc32, and coldfire. Question: In the interest of saving others the pain of debugging this again, I though I'd submit a patch. I'm thinking the best fix is to modify the configure script to 1) check for the OS revision and availability of gcc-4.2 and then set the default compiler to gcc-4.2, and 2) disable the user builds under OSX. Sound good? Or is there a more preferred way to fix? Thanks! -Juan
